The A346s are undergoing type specific modifications and that is why they have been visiting the doctor in HAM one after each other. It's also why HQ was ferried directly up to HAM instead of returning to service after it's new F retrofit in MLA. HS is currently in MLA for it's IL-check and new F retrofit.

D-AIHT is servicing MUC-EWR today according to the FCL attendant in MUC. If I didn't change my itinerary, I could've flown the new 747 instead...

Here is a link to LH's F page: http://www.lufthansa.com/us/en/First..._p=DE&blt_l=en
and one for the A340 and A330: http://www.lufthansa.com/online/port...en&cid=1000390
Here's a You Tube search result from LH F:

BUT I do not think you will see the new F product unless its a new A330

And no new large F bathroom on any of the aircraft listed above.
The following paragraph under Configuration isn't enough.
Since the end of February 2011 the entire Lufthansa long-haul fleet will gradually be fitted with the latest First Class configuration, adapted to the requirements of the respective aircraft types. This refitting has already begun on the A340-300s and A340-600s.
"An individually controllable privacy screen..."
"... a temperature regulating duvet, high-quality pillow and an extra soft mattress"
"Efficient under-carpet sound insulation and a soundproof curtain..."
"Lufthansa Media World on your individual 17 inch screen"
and of course
"an elegant bathroom in the new design"

Of course the AVOD, despite the larger screen in the new LH 744 F, the picture quality is simply atrocious!
It looked fine for the 3-4 inch screen on the old config that I just flew on for the second segment!
(But that touchscreen monitor wouldn't even respond to my fingers at all...completely useless)

As someone has already pointed out I think it's disgraceful that LH shows pictures of the new F cabin only when 25% of the A346, 15% of the A343 and no A333 have the new F.
And no new large F bathroom on any of the aircraft listed above.
The following paragraph under Configuration isn't enough.
What else is misleading or a downright lie?
"An individually controllable privacy screen..."
"... a temperature regulating duvet, high-quality pillow and an extra soft mattress"
"Efficient under-carpet sound insulation and a soundproof curtain..."
"Lufthansa Media World on your individual 17 inch screen"

LH should continue to maintain the old F on the website, or is it that they are too embarrassed? Particularly compared to their competition...
