This is what the new seatmap looks like on the 747:
[KVS Availability Tool 6.0.2/Diamond - Amadeus Seat Map: 20 May 2011/LH 782/FRA-BKK/744/F-First]
[KVS Availability Tool 6.0.2/Diamond - Amadeus Seat Map: 20 May 2011/LH 782/FRA-BKK/744/F-First]
Code:
C | H 81 + + U 82 + + U 83 E + + U 84 + + U [+] Available [-] Unavailable [E] Exit Row [W] Wing [L] Lavatory [U] Upper Deck
Also the same on the LH website under "My Bookings"...although it left one person in row 82 and bumped me into row 81 - fixed now though

Any pictures of the "new" F on 747? Travelling HKG-FRA with my wife in late April 2011 and the F-cabin has changed from 16 to 8 seats. For the moment we have 83C+83H. These seats are marked as "Preferred" on the LH-seatmap.

Guaranteed seat blocking so to say. You can choose if you want window or aisle...

I was told they are converting 744 to the same seats as 380- however how long that takes is a different story.

nope, not the same seats... it will be a seat/bed combo with the same look and feel than the A380 seats but it will be built on the base of the current seat. i think it was weight issues on the upper deck why they couldn't just put the A380 seats up there... 748 will be a different story though...

So would you all recommend I switch my trip from an A343 to the B744? I'm traveling with my wife, so I actually didn't mind the center 2 seat configuration. The reason I ask is that 2 seats just opened up on my date of travel from ORD vs. my current DFW flight into FRA.
The complicating factor is that it shortens my (too) long 6 hour connection into a (perhaps too short?) 2 hour connection.
Advice would be appreciated! Thanks
