Apparently LH has

Some amsuing tidbits:
A32S:
A330 (new C &F):
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
A32S:
This aircraft features Lufthansa's Europa Cabin
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.

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.

Manual searches have always struck me as a more practical solution than the (mostly feeble) attempts at automating the process. The existing technologies are just not up to the task.
BTW, I have been in the US for the past couple of weeks and I don't know if it got any press coverage in the EU, but the TSA is quietly getting rid of its full body scanners (both x-ray, and radar-based).

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

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.

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:

Never been in them, I am lucky that I get to use the Silver Kris lounges when flying in and out of SIN.

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.
