Meth sounds so Economy-like... You are not upgrading often by any chance, are you? ;-)

But what I am really excited about is fixed bed, because all current First seats are compromise between seats and beds except for SQ's A380's First.
So I think LH will have on almost all fleet some special feature in its first class so people will not feel like having an inferior product compared to A380's or
B748i's.
there's a pic? do you have one we can see online?

Now that the cabin is down to 8, it probably doesn't matter which seat you get.

I would think that the favorite seats are now shifting towards the front of the cabin. In the past row 83 was the favorite one as it guaranteed you that you or your seat neighbor could get in and out of the seat at any point in time without climbing over each other. In return one was accepting that the bar was in front of you and that carts etc were parked there. FAs were facing you for take-off and arrival. The seats also suffered from the swinging floor as FAs always had to go to their bar area.

My new favorite will be row 82 C or 82 H followed by 81 C. 81 H would be the third choice and row 84 should be avoided at any rate.

Row 84 is probably too close to the galley where it can get noisy. Especially if the FAs can't stop chatting all night.
