I suspect that this is yet another nail in the coffin for F class travel.
I don't think that's true. Remember we've only had flat beds (in jets) for a little more than a decade, and F has been around for a lot longer. And as LH themselves have discovered, enhancing the product on the ground as well as in the air attracts you plenty of F customers.
