Didn't you say this "Somehow I do not think that F is that much better than C" ? Which means you had never flown F, and if you do, you obviously know there is a significant difference on SQ, LH, LX, UA and QF between F and C.

But then again, with careful planning, I do not need lounges because if I would go on honeymoon, I would prefer to spend it in top class hotel and limit time at airports to minimum, Champagne always tastes better on ground etc. etc. But yes, they are just my opinions. But please, do not force your opinions on me, I did not force mine on you either - I just said what I would do and I still think it is viable for OP, particularly if they never flew anything else than whY...

So, both of you, please, next time answer OP's question and leave your unfounded critique of others for somewhere else...
I think we are actually the ones that are answering OP's question but who knows about you.

For one did you read OP's first post ? OP is looking for best airline to fly first class, trip to remember, not trying to save the flying experience to the minimum like you think or suggested.

Any suggestion/advice??

@mecabq - I haven't looking into OZ yet. How would you compare them to NH or LH? UR - Ultimate Reward (Chase program)

We normally fly coach. I flew in business once but never First. Wife never been in either. I figure she'll be as happy being in either. I want to go for First because it's not that much more (in miles) for going from business to first. Not end of the world if I can't.
OZ and NH are in the same league in terms of seat, food (it depends if you like Japanese or Korean food more, though both of their western choices are excellent too) and service with LH should be last to consider, though LH offer way better F lounge in both FRA and MUC than OZ and NH offered. LH F seats are also nothing special except if you can get F on their 744 with new F, the ones in upper deck with seat and a separate bed, that is quite a memorable experience for me.
