Not entirely correct. You will also be driven to your flight to a non-Schengen destination departing from a C or Z gate.

Whoops, forgot about that one. Although I had one case where I was on FRA-KIX and the nice FCL agents saw me of to the bus and waved goodbye as we schlepped to the apron with everyone else

I have been driven to MAN flights a few times when they used to leave from an apron position.

The old First Class seats on the A343, A346 and A330 are exactly the same.

Lie-flat? Any trip report on them? I don't seem able to find any!

They're basically huge comfy La-Z-boys. Which is to say, I don't find them outstandingly *comfortable*, but they are not terrible, either. I would further say I'd choose some airlines' business class product over these. But they aren't *bad*, of course.

You may have read what was discussed here. But as I said all old F seats are the same.

The FCL B. From the FCL A+ they will drive you to Schengen flights departing from non-gate positions.
