Any way no probs.
Seems the new seats' reliability is the driver as to the config of aircraft they deploy - am calling DC regularly to see if those SQ seats appear tho

- TG is avail but allegedly there's no chance of new C on them

regular service is with a 747 new business class to SIN !
You see this 16/80/234 seat is the new version.
The old one is 16/78/274 or 16/64/310.
But LH does not guarantee the new aircraft, and sometimes they change it due to demand in a higher need in Y seats.
By the way the new business class seats are very delicate. This is a problem if you have a busy route like MUC-BKK, where they use the A343 C/44 Y/222 version. Often C class fully booked ( only 44 seats ) and some seats are not working. This plane has no F class so that you have to stick on what you get. I sugest to prove the seat bevore take off, so that you can complain as long you are on the ground! Otherwise you can sit upright during a 11h. nightflight. Iam on 4 of this flights Sep./Oct./Dec./Jan. myselve and hope to be lucky.
