They've started the same nonsense at Swiss, insisting that it "is only for your own safety." If they were doing it FOR me, it would be a suggestion. When they make it mandatory, they are doing it TO me. BTW, I usually wear my seatbelt when seated, but this kind of hypocrisy gets my dander up. “Generally compulsory” is a somewhat sloppy translation from the original “generelle Anschnallpflicht,” which is unequivocal.

That is certainly an interesting phrase.<br /><br />I have never flown internationally, but most carriers insist that you keep your seatbelt fastened at all times.<br /><br />Has anyone flown Lufthansa before? I'm considering them for an upcoming trip but I don't have anything to compare them to. I have heard mostly good things but would love to hear some testimonials.
