And also, thank you for all those signs to look out for, I never would have known what they meant. Typing those into my phone as we speak
First class is usually a lot less crowded than 2nd class with the exception of typical "consultant routes" (e.g. Frankfurt - Munich on Monday morning), so your chances of getting two adjacent seats there are higher. In addition cheaper prepaid rates are much easier to get for first class than for second class.
