Asiana Club - Why is there no F-class on FRA-ICN?

Hello,
this should have been my first F-class flight on OZ, but after visiting their HP I noticed that they do not offer a F-class on their new B777 aircrafts. Does anybody know if there ever will be a F-class from FRA to ICN?
I saw some pictures of their F-class and have to say: respect, not that bad:D
But how is their C-Class compared to SQs new C-Class? Should I book a flight on SQ via SIN in F-class or should I try OZs C-class?
regards,
flo

There is no F class to/from Europe because I guess there is just not enough demand for an F cabin on those routes, and what little demand there is, KE already flies those with F cabins. (KE is often the preferred choice for corporate contracts due to better network etc).
It's highly unlikely they are going to bring F class back to FRA, so the only option would be flying C if you want to fly OZ.
Many people have very good opinions of OZ F, but if you're comparing the SQ New C-class with OZ C-class, then SQ C would be the better choice due to the vastly improved hard product. Also, if you have the time (and the inclination - well, this is FT after all!) then SQ F via SIN would be my choice (though I wouldn't fly via SIN just to get the SQ New C over OZ C)

I would highly recommend flying NH from NRT-FRA in F. Vastly better food and seat than SQ, and much more direct. OZ would be a fine choice to get from ICN-NRT.

Oh, if we're talking about other airlines, then yes, NH is probably the best airline to get from Europe to Japan/Korea. But sometimes it can be difficult to find seats, even if you're paying for it!
However, I wouldn't say that the seat is a "vast" improvement over SQ's SkySuite - it's certainly better, but the SkySuite is still very competitive IMHO. Food, however, is generally much better on NH.

SQ has a perfectly fine F seat, but NH's seat is 50% wider than the SkySuite and there are only 8 seats in F - much more spacious cabin.

SQ has the better seat in their new C compared to OZ. However I find food and service to be much better on OZ. Plus I always find it a good choice to try the airlines of the country you are flying to.
