So I usually choose to go on LH via FRA. LH flies an A380 and even though seats are angle-flat and relatively narrow, the cabin is spacious and quiet. Also the possibility of UG to 1st on the A380 is good for me, and the LHA380 first is excellent, so admittedly this is a lure. Arrival/Departure times better than OS for me.
Hope this is helpful.
Thank you! I am hesitated to fly LH because LH uses A380 on FRA-PEK. Is it going to be a mess during the boarding since there are 96 seats in J cabin?
