This documentary about HAM shows the retrofit of new F into a A330 around minute 46:00: http://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/nordstory371.html

I thought they weren't going to retrofit any more 744 with new F since some would be turned into two-class machines. However, it does make sense for all operating 744s to have new F, so it won't be a lottery whether you get new F or not.

Flew FRAORD yesterday on a converted 744; Granted I can't boast about flying on an A380 or 748 but the setup of a seperate seat and a full bed is a definite plus over just having a flatbed seat. I have to say the AVOD selection was less than spectacular (very few movie choices) but to tell you the truth the service and LH experience in general for F passengers surely makes up for it.

Can anyone confirm that? Has a retirement date for D-ABTF been mentioned anywhere?
I'm also wondering about the status of D-ABVE which seems to be temporarily parked only.

Is there a way to determine if an upcoming flight is configured with the new F (A340-600) by the seat map (F is 8 seats across the board, but perhaps by the Biz of Eco cabin layout?)
I'm considering a NRT-MUC flight in April.
Thanks!
