I could go via PVG or just direct from NRT. I really would not like to swap my planned itinerary for LH's current F seat but I wonder what the chance is of me picking either PVG or NRT and getting it?
Do you reckon LH will make any announcements in the next few months about destinations for 2nd and 3rd A380's without zeroing out F award availability??
The second and third destinations are rumoured to be JNB and PVG. My guess is that NRT will only get the A380 in 2011. Why don't you take advantage of the current US Airways Promotion and book a second F ticket for around 1.000 EUR all-in via PVG? Worst case you have to pay 250 USD to cancel that ticket...
