LH staff is really friendly and nice when flying non revenue and within Europe it is usually pretty easy to get on a flight. However, when trying to cross the pond on them out of the US their loads are usually very high, try doing LAX-FRA or worse yet SFO-FRA, those flights are usually jam packed. I wonder what the deal with SQ is, I thought it was just us at US that were unlucky to get a ZED with them but I guess it's every other airline. I take it they just don't want nonrevs.

As someone put it earlier, SQ own staff don't receive a very good travel package. Can't expect SQ to give OAL employees more than they give their own. Plus, SQ knows they have a great product to offer and people, including airline employees,Originally Posted by chepos
are willing to pay for it.
NZ have big fringe benefit taxation issues which if they lower the staff fares, can dramatically affect their bottom line. Even ZED High is an exception for them and they likely only did that due to pressure from STAR partners. There is a difference between ZH and ID90, ZH is generally less expensive (especially on simple itineraries) than ID90. Again, because of the tax laws, NZ need the fare to be higher.
