If the term "Economy Light" doesn't scare you, it should. I failed to read the fine print when buying our tickets to Poland and learned the hard way what Economy Light means. All in all, Lufthansa employees were very polite about enforcing rigid 8 kg weight restrictions on our carry-on bags (as in how much of your clothing are you willing to wear in layers so they actually let you board the plane?), reminding us of the stiff $60 per checked bag fee, keeping us hydrated while we had a close encounter with our knees for ten straight hours in an ever-shrinking coach seat, and stealing all including our jackets when we were seated in exit rows (to create a clear path for even the Jolly Green Giant to exit the plane in an emergency). I especially appreciated the 360 degree images of the plane on our seat back monitors as it flew over snow-covered countries en route to Europe. Watching the ground below me spin round and round to show off someone's idea of great in-flight graphics made my stomach turn over not once, not twice, but thrice per rotation.
