It's a very long flight, LH are shockingly slow in refitting aircraft, old F is not fit for purpose !
LH also, only advertise new F , in the UK false advertising is a no no, regulatory wise ^

Perhaps LH discovered that loads with new F weren't any better that with old F and decided that they could put the new F plane to better use elsewhere. I do agree that they need to pick up the pace on the retrofit.

R.I.P. for non-stop TATL First Class service to/from Denver. 
Looks like an extra connection for us as LH says bye-bye to DEN First service on July 19th. Starting July 20th, everything forward is now 2 class 744. Looks like the same old relic(s) they are currently using for three class with the UD being sold as J from that day on.

I booked my mother on that route, only to discover it's been changed to old F.

Seriously, i agree that new F is nicer but still it's far from a medieval experience as pointed out by a couple of posters recently to fly old F!?

Thanks for the heads up. Between 10/28/14 and 3/28/15, EF indeed shows F returning. Hopefully, that's for real and not a case of LH just not getting around to zapping F for next Winter. Although looking to Spring/Summer 2015, starting 3/29/15, every DEN-FRA shows F but every day is F0. So perhaps LH has decided on seasonal F service? Better than no F I guess.

Maybe the 748 is equipped with the "newest" F, unfortunatelly the "best" one will disappear soon. The retrofitted 744 F ...
