I‘ll miss the yellow on the plane. Hope it stays on the ground.
Jump to postI think it would be really sad if LH got rid of the yellow altogether. LH yellow has become extremely iconic, unlike combinations of white and blue. It would be the first LH livery since its foundation without any yellow.

Not soon apparently. The :airplane: is mighty nice, hope the delay isn't too big. My most frequently flown rout...
