I’m flying IAH-FRA in August and back in December and I was wondering if I might expect any good views on approach/takeoff at FRA and which side of the plane I should choose? I’m in BF and the cabins are pretty open right now.

Also, what are the chances my 772 has the new seats in August? I’m not too worried about the Dec return flight but the flight out seems like it could go either way at this point, the seat maps have been switching around (and I know this far out those don’t indicate anything). FWIW, the girl I talked to at CO “guaranteed” my flight would have lie-flats, but I’m not sure how she can say that, as I haven’t seen anything publicly stating that IAH-FRA would be guaranteed to have lie-flats like they did with LHR flights.
