According to the table all regional jets and narrow bodies have First but no Business with the exception of the A321.

Some amsuing tidbits:

A32S:

This aircraft features Lufthansa's Europa Cabin
A330 (new C &F):
48 angled seats with 165 degrees recline
This aircraft is equipped with Audio Visual on Demand (Rockwell Collins eTES)
There is no power in Economy Class.
AR8, CR7, and other aircraft types show... the descriptions are all generic, which is amusing since seatguru employees are actually invited to inaugurals to see the seats ahead of others

Next time I will board a short haul plane the first thing I will ask is where to find my F seat

Thanks for making us aware of it, Oliver. Really strange that they managed to screw up the already inaccurate (but at least a bit more precise) information from the old website It cannot be that difficult to get these things right even without actually flying.

OS is even worse... the A320 premium is mentioned, they supposedly have recliners on the A320 in C and

Austrian Airlines offers up to 18 video channels on medium- and long-haul flights.

On one of the legs in the US I decided to "opt out", with the consequence that every inch of my body was touched with painstakingly slow progress. I wonder how we could ever be safe with the previous patdown... The hole thing was clearly set up to discourage anyone from opting out, and as far as I could see I was the only one at any of the checkpoints I passed. Even other passengers found the process comical.

So the reason why they are getting rid of the scanners must be a different one.

I don't mind being touched, I do not wear under garments whenever I fly, I want them to get a feel. And they always gasp:

Mein Gott, der groß ist:

That is a factoid, not an opinion.
Never been in them, I am lucky that I get to use the Silver Kris lounges when flying in and out of SIN.

Maybe it is certain times or flights?

I did WUH. CTU, SZX, JZH, and PEK .. no PVG in the past year.

So maybe the lack of ovrerlap triggers the different experience.


I much prefer the pat down over being lied to about "harmless backscattered x-rays" in the Socialist Republic of the Former Colonies.

At least they greet you with "Guten Tag!" in FRA, whereas I usually get "Grüss Gott!" in MUC, which is quite OK, of course, except that I always feel the urge to reply "Wenn ich ihn sehe", which in turn would likely affect my connection time adversely.

I am lucky that even with the new changes at work, I can still get C-tickets for SIN and the only other time I go through is to visit my little brother for Christmas and I'm damned if I'm flying BHX-FRA-SIN-SYD in Y.

When I was still young, pretty, slim, and smart (well the latter might be immediately contradicted here), I once flew NRT-FRA-SFO-SYD in one go in order to 'unroll' three cheap tickets.

But then I am damned...
