Also,boarding to the upper deck ... the terminal area of "J" uses a set of stairs to go down to the jetway so in my imagination I am thinking there has been installed a level for that deck? Hopefully someone with MIA experience will post.
MIA needs more 'people movers' as it is a loooooong walk from the main hall to "J"!!!
My girlfriend was on the MIA / FRA flight a few days ago, traveling in business class, I'll do the same next month. I think she mentioned that all classes are boarding from the same J departure level but that the jetway for first / business class slopes upwards. Since you are saying "all other LH aircraft": there are none, only the A380 to my knowledge since the DUS and MUC flights don't operate anymore.
Unless you are connecting the J terminal is not that bad at all. You can use the security checkpoint at the very end of the terminal, close to LH check-in, and then it's a fairly short walk to the gate.
