I booked two C award tickets for two friends of mine months ago for the end of June. One of them is on LH 417 and the other one is on LH 419. One of them will be very jealous. I myself will be on SQ 25 JFK/FRA on A380 C class. So I'm happy and not too jealous.

They did a touch and go in Hamburg! How wonderful!
This captain must be a King of the Skies!
I love how he did the wing wave when they took off from PAE!
Steep climb and wing wave! A true class act!

I managed a same day 1 June round trip in whY class using miles.
A double whammy inaugural FRA-IAD-FRA on the new Lady Bee

I want to try upgrade on the return flight. Wish me luck!

Interesting to see it confirmed that on the 748i all C seats are /\ /\ (uppder deck) or /\ / \ /\ (lower deck) and on the 333 they are \\ /\ // as previously reported by [B]hamallu
Also looks like the center isle seats are more separated as per previous photos.

Just did my seating for the 1 June inaugurals turnaround 416/419.
All best seats already gone. Flight is booking quite fast. Window seats are disappearing quite fast - I am talking about whY Class.
Those here who will be on the flights better do their seat selection ASAP.
Not sure if some rows of seats are blocked until -24 hours for the two flights.

Dear KVS
I am a total ignoramus as to these. Sort of looks like ASCII codes to me.
Maybe you can help by telling me which rows are blocked?
I can call on my high-end Lufthansa friends to unblock me one of these best seats in Y for my 1 June FRA-IAD-FRA inaugurals turnaround when the time comes.
I'll be many hours inside this wondrous flying machine known as D-ABYA (Da Big Bee) so I want to try to be as comfy as can be getting the best Y seats in the house.

Where is the extensive marketing for the new Business Class seat?
Thanks, Oliver2002 for posting the seat map.
Just one question remaining: Where is the extensive marketing for the new seat?
They should communicate the new layout especially on the main deck of the B747-800 where the 7th seat is now history and the personal space for every passenger is larger than on any aircraft of the Lufthansa fleet. ^

The pics from the launch party and the interiors are online here: https://picasaweb.google.com/1043151...eat=directlink
Do you know which row in the 748 is the one shown in economy at the emergency exit (photos 62 - 65 in the Picasa gallery above)? This looks very much like row 75/76 on the 388, and seems like reasonable place to be if one is stuck in Y, as I am on occasion (especially the window seat with no seat in front)...
