Just got off HKG-FRA flight in LH F with new F in 744. At the time of changing my flight to BKK-HKG-FRA (initially had BKK-FRA), I noticed highest chance of getting new F on this route and it worked out perfectly! I was praying not to be the victim of small(er) chance
I must say that new F on 744 is the best F I've flown so far (I've done F on SQ 77Ws and 744, LX, TG's 77Ws, UA's new F, CX new F, and few others). The bed is proper bed and the lounging chair is also quite comfortable. To add to this, the service was very good despite having full cabin.
I am not sure how this compares to the 388's F cabin (which I've given up to try TG's 77W F suites), but I am quite happy to have given up LH F on the A380.
