LH first class seats assigned as business [merged]
I had the pleasure to burn miles on flights that were SOLD as a two class service only, but actually FLOWN by a three class configured aircraft. those typically were routes served by the 346, DEN, CPT, spring to mind.
in my human greed to maximise my travel experience (and sit in F), does anyone know if such routes still exist or was that an interim measure while some of the 346 were undergoing a conversion (certainly CPT is now sold as a three class service)?

Does LH ever use F class for J class passengers?
Was selecting seats today on a LH flight from ADD-FRA and was able to select seats in row 1 dispite the seat chart showing this as first class seats. Does LH sometimes operate a 3 class aircraft with a 2 class service?

I have not heard of this happening, but I could certainly be wrong.
Are you sure the seat is in a first class cabin? First on a 330/340/380 is always 1-2-1 and J is always 2-2-2. The 747 F is now four rows of 1-1. This is the best way to be sure.

Yes. The seats upfront are usually reserved for day of departure/HON/SEN.

Indeed, they do. I had the same situation on a FRA-YYZ last year. I believe this will happen mostly on flights with old F, where F sales are suspended until LH gets all their F cabins converted to new F. You basically get an (arguably) better seat with more room, but same C service.

While the old LH F is not that great by F standards, I disagree that it is only arguably better than LH J. I think the old LH F seat is still much better than LH J.
