Looking for a F reward to BKK this year I see that at least on some dates there's no F available from FRA (not even revenue). Too much PADs or is this one of the routes to get 2 class 747?

May I ask where do you check the seat maps? on the LH website I would imagine?

Exactly the same thing for me.
You can check it on the LH Website under "my bookings" or also on checkmytrip.com with your amadeus code

I already had a confirmed award booking for 2 F seats (*A) when the cabin configurations were 16 seats. With the modifications in the cabin will my award booking still be honored in F?

Thanks for that! I appreciate the response! I also figured it out using the KVS tool as well.

That is the downside, of course. But we've still switched 83 to 81 for an overnight TATL we've got booked for May. On balance, with the clamber factor removed, 81 should be more peaceful.
So: when is someone going to post some pictures???

Why not do row 82 - still less foot traffic/bounce but a distance from the toilets?

Thank heavens you've all put in about these seat changes - I just checked a trip for July with 3 747 F flights and all 3 have been changed to this "8 seats in the upper deck style".
Could it be that they are going to block off the other seats and not sell them for all 747 flights, whether or not they have been refitted with the new product?
Hmmmmm...................

Row 83 will loose its popularity and the new pecking order will be:
81 over 82 over 83 over 84.

81A will be your bed and no one in 83C - this might actually become a very popular choice for people who just want to sleep as your bed is in the corner far away from everything.

Last time I had 82A and it was fine, however, I guess I just like having the feeling of being alone.
Last time I was on LX, I had 1K and the only other passengers were in 2A and 2D. I didn't see them the entire flight. LX spoiled me ^
