My questions (may seem silly, but I have never flown business class internationally)
1. The plane is A330-300 - are these lay flat seats or seats similar to what we find in domestic first class in the US? From my google degree it looks like they are lay flat.
2. There will be myself, my wife, and our 5 year old daughter (not trying to start a "do kids belong in business/first class" so please lets not discuss that - it looks like these are all 2 x 2 x 2 configurations, so we would have to be split up (likely take turns sitting next to our daughter). - is this correct? (we would probably chose a window to ensure we corral her,
3. Would we have lounge access in FRA?
4. Slightly unrelated to business class, but how much time do we need to connect in FRA when coming back to the US - there are three options 50min 1h5 50 min, and 2h 50 min - 50 min is way to tight for my liking, but I would think 1h 50min would be enough because we don't ahve to go through any security clearance, right?
5. What about the other way around- connection time in FRA after coming from the US (options are 2, 3, or 4 hours)

thanks and cheers

4. I would choose the 'LH Panorama lounge' in the A pier - good views and the OS flight might be departing not far away. If you have an Amex Platinum, you can visit the Senator lounge for slightly better alcohol (your wife would also need to have a card).
5. I personally would go for something like 2 to 3 hours to have time for a lounge visit
1. I am sure you are aware how Business Class looks on European flights (just to avoid disappointment)

Otherwise, children belong into Business
