Although they're all good I prefer row 83 (I think) as it has the emergency exits in front of it and you seem to have a lot more space around you, even if it is just an illusion.

Have all the MUC based 346's been refitted in F?

Considering taking a MUC-PEK or MUC-HKG flight, but I don't want to get the old blue thrones, are they all done being revamped?

No, there are still half a dozen A346 which have not yet been refitted.

Looking at the registrations and routes PEK/HKG look good for new F but nothing is guaranteed.

I like row 84. row 83 faces the fas' jumpseat on departure/landing so that's awkward. 81 could be good but it feels quite the wall is infront of you and i don't like that so much

Some people prefer row 82 since row 84 is close to the gallery and the lavatory.

Hoping to fly in F January 21/2015-ORD-MUC, then MUC to CPT the next night(1/22/2015.)
Return 2/3 JNB-FRA, then FRA-ORD 2/4.
Will these flights have the new FC product?

You can look that up on the LH website 8 weeks before departure.

How accurate if the LH tool for first class? I have a flight booked for FRA-DEN and it states new F but this route has had so much old F Im skeptical. Can I assume the F is new if it says so?

Very accurate ...

The the last two 744 with old F will leave the fleet by end of November. In the meanwhile they are intended to be used for FRA-DXB only.

There were a number of last minute swaps in October particularly on DEN and EWR routes so I think calling the tool "very accurate" is a touch misleading.

As long as the two old aircraft are around- there is a risk- and those planes have stayed around longer than predicted.
