Even when I do an award search like FRA-NRT, OZ F will always come up avaialble compare with LAX and JFK hardly available, which means the F load is not good at all. On the other hand, NH hardly show up for F on FRA-NRT neither, so you know how it goes.
I would rather predict FRA-ICN would downgrade from 3 class to 2 class even !

From what I've heard, the F revenue load on the FRA-ICN route is pretty low, and most pax sitting in F are on award tickets.
No need to keep a service active just for free riders.
I personally wish OZ introduces F to SFO...doesn't SFO have good demand for paid F?

I had flown at least 3 744Combi before (including the first 744 OZ ever had HL7413) that had converted into 744BCF now. Back then F on the 744 was 2+2, horrible small PTV movies run in a loop, no power, the seat do go horizontal flat though, but the food quality was way better than now. Imagine they had lobster entree for every single F flight, including the short haul ICN-HKG !

No Asian routes with F which is properly sold as F.
There are lots of Asian routes where they will fly 3-class aircraft and often open up the F cabin for J passengers, but this will be with J service, and subject to aircraft swaps.
