LH Experience: FRA-BKK in C
Dear Fellow Flyers,
I wanted to share my experience flying Lufthansa C FRA-BKK-FRA most recently. I know this topic has been beaten to death, but the service on Lufthansa was superb. What impressed me most was the food. For starters the meals just seem incredibly fresh, and the choices are phenomenal. I had some shrimp and fish on one route, which delicious wine and Baileys.
On the other hand, I really am looking forward to LH finally receiving a new C seat. The screen isn't HD and not widescreen, and I don't have to mention the seat itself. I MUCH prefer United C.
To sum up my short experience, I absolutely enjoyed LH. If only they had a better seat, I would probably prefer them over United. For now though, that better seat on UA is still my preference.
Cheers,
UA

I generally agree with you. It is time for the new seat. But what do you do with the bigger screen. The movie sleection on LH longhaul is not good. I had 3 longhauls in the last 4 weeks and I was so happy that the last one was now in Nov as they had some new movies...for frequent traveller on LH longhaul the selection is bad ... a lot of TV series and cheap others. I really liked UA last month. Good seat, good selection of movies and surprisingly a good service. I will try this again....

Last week i flew 2 long haul segments on LH back to back on the same day and I have to say: LH has the worst C class seat in the world 
the current long haul C class seat is designed to deprive the traveller from sleeping in any position

Indeed. Definitely not the worst, but then again far away from what you get get today for the same or less money. My employer pays C so I get to my destination well rested. The last flights I could not sleep due to this seat, I was a mess. I decided for myself after the last flight in LH C that I will try whatever is necessary to avoid them and go for better C, even if it means transit in LHR.
I am glad that LH updates their C, but please hurry.
