Hey guys,

apologies for not following up on this sooner.

basically what I found is that the direct business class flight from lax to Munich on Lufthansa is not that great. The plane is old etc and that is important to me.

instead I was able to find flagship business class on AA to and from LAX to LHR. This does require flights to and from LHR into the EU, but these tickets are relatively inexpensive.

the flagship business class seems like a good product, especially when flying out of an airport like LAX that has dedicated flagship lounges.

im happy with my choice. Let me know if you guys have any questions!
