I'd like to ask Lufthansa FTers a few questions who may have done a flight in the new C (especially to Japan) recently:

1. Which would you choose: LHR-FRA-NRT or LHR-MUC-NRT? The MUC flight arrives a couple of hours later than the FRA flight: is it worth going through MUC? The FRA flight is a B747 and the MUC a A340: is the airbus better? What are the lounges like there (for *G) ?

2. Flying FRA-KIX is around 200U$D cheaper. Tokyo would be my final destination but if I flew to Osaka, I could see some friends, so this would not be a problem. I understand that this is a B747-400. Is this flight usually full?

leading onto...

3. Does anyone know if LH permits open jaws (flying inbound to KIX, outbound from NRT)...When I search for this multi-segment journey in their website, I don't get the discounted business price.

4. What is the Japanese in-flight meals like? I usually fly the Japanese airlines so I'm not really sure how european airlines match up here.

(this probably is more suitable in the * forum): I also have the option of travelling through CPH on SK. Would people choose the LH C product over SK C?


Thanks,
