But assuming we are talking about business class here, wouldn't LH to MUC mean trading one of the very best J products to Europe (AF) for one of the absolute worst (LH)?

The A350 to MUC has the new Allegris Business Class. It's much much much much better than the old LH Business Class. The gap to AF is much smaller.

I think the kid just wants to fly on the A350, despite living in the country which an airline that has one of the largest A350 fleets (DL). No mention of J.

And as mentioned above, the LH J on the A350 has Allegris which is needlessly complicated but otherwise a decent product. LH is also less prone to last minute substitutions than AF and KLM.

Too bad getting a good seat or not is a lottery.

Only if you happen to end up on Allegris.
There is still a decent chance you will get an equipment swap to non-Allegris plane.

Just like AF in the good old NEV4 rundown days
