Lufthansa CityLine AVRO RJ85 Florence-Frankfurt

flights on Lufthansa City Line for inside Europe,Not as lavish service as on long haul flight but good.
My first outgoing flight is usually LH CityLine Regional Florence-Frankfurt, then I connect to Lufthansa.
The aircraft is an AVRO RJ85, code AR8, with about 95 seats.
The flight is 1 hour and 20 minutes. In coach free drinks/wine/beers/cofee/tea and one small sandwich, usually to be choosen between ham or cheese.
Cityline has smaller aircrafts but comfortable and good service. The downside of AR8 is that the wings are fixed and extended from the roof therefore rows 5 to 9 have limited space for handluggage above your head. Better to choose a row from 10 and higher. If I am not wrong the Munich-Zagreb flight is also operated with AR8 aircraft. Connecting in Frankfurt (or Munich) to Cityline means that being smaller aircrafts they are not parked at the finger gate of the terminal as for larger planes but you take a 5 minutes bus from the terminal gate to the external aircraft parking area.
Yes, definitely a good service in Lufthansa style.
