thanks pointsgirl and terenz!

my main concern is that the J seats are not like the intra-europe biz class i've flown on LH - i.e. no better than economy class, with just the middle seat empty....

guess it comes down to the price differential between J and Y, which i have yet to research fully.

do either of you go regularly? i've always wanted to go, so hopefully work commitments don't sink this trip as they did last summer.
