Better try Thai F.
Thai F no longer offer the Rimowa kits.

Nah, don't be pessimistic! 5 are still planned for delivery this year although all have been pushed back by a couple of months and stretching the end of delivery of the first batch to the end summer, so hopefully they'll all be flying by the start of the winter schedule.

I was very happy to see D-ABVP parked at Gate A15 this morning as our flight from VIE arrived, as my boarding pass for LH402 (FRA-EWR) said we were departing from that gate. Sadly, it was a day flight so I didn't sleep much, but I had to lie down on the bed just to experience it.

I'm glad LH is finally bringing it to the east coast routes - I'd have figured JFK and EWR was a high-value enough route to serve it with new F, so it's good to see it finally get it.

Was it a full pyjama set, or just sweater?

I'm hoping MUC-BOS gets included once they switch to A346 in May. Seems likely since it's MUC based but not as much competition out of BOS vs. NYC airports. Any predictions?

There were four of us (two couples) on yesterday's flight in F.

Only the sweater top for FRA-EWR. Got the full set flying ORD-MUC.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did - LH is a bit unpredictable with routes (still don't understand why KIX flew new F over JFK) but with the abundance of 346s in MUC, I'd figure it would fly BOS. Weird thing: when I was passing through MUC a few days ago, D-AIHO was flying to CPH. I thought it rather weird

I guess they're sticking to the "day flight = top only" mantra. Don't know why. It's not like you sweat less in your pants just because it's daytime

*sweat* is the key word here, on LH flights!

Lh 462/463 fra-mia-fra

MIA seems to get the new F frequently as well. Three out of three of my flights since they switched to 744 a few weeks ago.

BOM getting shafted recently with 744 new F...glad I didn't upgrade a few days ago - but soon limited upgrades anyway!

Then may the best price, frequent flyer program and product win!
