LH's plain Y is comparable to every Y+ I've flown with. If they had Y+, that would probably be an excuse to deteriorate Y.

The only comparable Y+ product is Economy Plus on United, but it's mostly about upsells and not a separate cabin. Still, I'd rather have it (with a couple inches extra legroom and lousy service) then regular LH Y experience.

IMO, Y+ is just an excuse if you have (or intend to have) a Y product which is so bad nobody in their right mind would fly it, and C is out of your reach.

..IME, and I fly mostly in Y, LH Y is worse than OS,LX,SQ,EK and TG Y...but YMMV..

My comment wasn't on the quality of LH Y, but to the lack of quality of Y+ across the board and the fact that Y+ is an excuse to squeeze Y seats even tighter and provide even less service in Y... So, you could also read it as
"even LH's plain Y is comparable..." if you wish to berate LH

Luckily, I got op-upped to Y+ (yay!... not.) :-o
But anyway, as you said, OMMV, and we still have a way to go to contemplate inferiority of C and F perks

2. People talk about LH's functionality, but then why does LH make such an "over the top" experience for F/HON customers at the FCT/FCL ? They could easily use a bus instead of a Merc/Porsche to ferry people to the aircraft. Why have tubs in the bathrooms ? Showers are more practical. They are into all of this hoopla, just only on the ground - not in the air where the traveler spends the majority of his time.
I would , however ,leave the ducks for someone else to collect.

Not sure it is an over the top experience for F passengers , but it is a top service for HON's. I have saved substantial time in not having to show up at the airport hours prior to the flight , and I cant begin to tell you how many short connections I have made thanks to their excellent ground service. Should i miss it anyway I would be perfectly happy to soak in a tub , followed by a could shower ,share a schnitzel with Rambuster ,sip on a cognac and enjoy a nice cigar .

Excuse me: Are you working for LH? 
Could you specify "every Y+ youīve flown"? Which Airlines have a Y+ comparable with LH Y?
And please donīt tell us that itīs comparable since both airlines (LH and ?) have (at least) a seat or anything like that!
As long as you donīt compare exit row seats with Y+, there is nothing to compare!
