Ooh - fair enough - I flew FRA-KIX some months back and we got Rimowas. Guess that was the tail end of that batch Any opinion on Bogner vs Rimowas vs Porsche?

D-AIKP (first new A333 this year) is now in Hamburg for cabin outfitting.
In mid April the plane will be handed over to LH. It will join revenue service out of MUC with new C and F cabin.

Where have all the New F 744s gone?
flight24 has very few flying into or out of U.S. in the past few weeks (tho D-ABVK flew ex-BOS yesterday).
Anyone know if they are concentrated on any particular routes at the moment?

One of them has been KIX - around 90% new F rate - hope it stays like that till Sunday (although, to be honest, I'm a bit scared with FRA-SIN getting 744 service from tomorrow... can't see them putting old F over KIX on it, sice KIX is a pretty low volume flight, esp in F...)

AFAIK the A333 in question is still with Airbus near Hamburg and has not been delivered to LH yet. I think it's unlikely it will be in service before 9 April.

Maybe LH chose a low volume F flight to work out the KInX in the product?
