Anyone know the volume of proper F traffic on LH in FRA?

I really wonder whether it's even feasible to have something like car transfers for F pax in DXB. A majority of EK flights offer 3 classes with a minimum of 8 F seats. I'm sure someone less lazy than me can give the math a try.

I too would love some of these F touches others provide but you can't just provide these (let alone with consistency) once you reach a certain scale. This is one of the challenges of becoming very large (#1 int'l carrier) and operating out of one hub only (DXB).

Chauffeur drive in DXB, for example, is a pretty huge operation (that few others do, and to this scale), and that's only ~20-30% of the J/F traffic as most of the remainder are connecting.
