A quick look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakira helps, if one has no clue. One can dislike her music, of course. But one should not make comments, which are so far from reality.

I did not know Shakira either. I looked her up on Youtube out of curiosity.

I prefer Tina Turner, really. At least she is genuine.
Look at her. She is going on 71 so energetic, truly incredible.
Far more sexy than Shakira if you ask me!

Shakira is just a failed Madonna clone.
I guess they just take whatever sells.
LH can keep her.

LH sells Y seats on LH2010 that night, LH573 operates as planned.
No seats through the regular channels for the flight down to South Africa.

It will be delivered in MUC on 28 July, when a couple of sightseeing flights are planned.

Even if only in C I would be disappointed not to say p***** off.
The A380's IFE has a bigger choice and this is a big advantage for the day flight NRT FRA.
LH is clearly advertising this bird for the NRT route and takes it silently away just for a marketing "gag".
Same for the PEK route where they silently delayed the start date to 1st of September now.

Or even if you are in Y! A380 has IFE in Y and 774 doesn't.
LH in Japan has been promoting the A380 agressively by offering additional miles and giveaways. After all they have almost 200 additional seats to sell three times a week and daily from the beginning of August.
When they interviewed some pax waiting to board LH711 NRT-FRA on 12 June, some of them didn't seem to be aware they would be on the inaugural flight. With all the publicity since I'm sure most of the pax must know by now if their flight was going to be on the A380.

I flew LH710 yesterday from FRA-NRT and indeed was extremely disappointed to not get the 380... fortunately I was able to grab 1A in the lounge once I heard the news (did not receive information at check-in in PRG about the change). The crew was also a bit bummed, as they were all called in to work on their day off (everyone kept saying "well, if the team had just won you would have had the 380 today").
I think the worst experience though wasn't for J passengers but for Y. A group I knew that was also going PRG-FRA-NRT were called yesterday and moved to PRA-FRA-KIX-HND as the drastic reduction in Y seats made Y extremely overbooked... the group was, afaik, not offered any compensation for this change either!
710 went out yesterday with 2 empties in J though so I don't think the premium cabins took as much of a hit.
