I have not flown on a 747 in new C but before the retrofit row 1 used to be one of the best. I expect it's the same with new C.
Similarly I only have experience of C on the upper deck of a 748i. Avoid the first row (too close to the lav) and the last row (too close to the galley) but otherwise all rows are similar. Some people prefer row 83 because nobody will grab the back of your seat to get up.

Great, thanks all. I kind of figured they were the same. Made the change (shorter connection time now going via ORD) and now in 3a on the 346.

Business Class seat on A340-600
Need some advice here as this will be my first time flying with LH, especially on Business Class. I'm travelling solo and I googled and understand some of the seats have the feet face away from your neighbour. May I know which seat would that be and is there any difference at the bulkhead seats?
I will be flying from GRU to MUC. Looking forward for the advices from you experts

Check out the official LH seating plan for that aircraft and decide for yourself. There is a \\ /\ // setup in C so you can plan ahead and choose whatever you like. The (slim) chances are that you might end up getting a supermodel as a footsie partner/neighbor so I woudn't completely pass on that option

Lh713 icn-fra
Greetings,
First time LH business class traveler here. If I'm not in the right place, feel free to move/delete.
I have a few questions on what to expect on LH713 ICN-FRA.
1) Compared to Emirates and Korean Air A380 business class the seats and surroundings look kind of meager. Is this the case? The seats looks slimmer. I read one review from a blog that the seats are not "180 flat beds". They don't recline all the way down to a "bed position"?
2) Looking at the seat map on lufthansa.com there are some seats with a slightly different graphical appearance:
Is this just a graphical thingy or are this particular seat any different than the other ones? SeatGuru gave no special info on the seat.
3) Which lounges do I have access to in FRA?
Thanks a lot, and sorry if this has been asked before.

1. They are fully flat and turn into a bed
2. The seat map shows some seats to be extended to illustrate how they look when fully flat

Do you have a connecting flight in FRA? Unless you have a connecting flight you don't have access to a lounge. There is an arrival lounge (Welcome Lounge) but it won't be open by the time LH713 arrives.

I have an upcoming flight DEN-FRA (overnight) on the LH 747-400. It's a ways out, so there are many options for seating (although 4D is taken). In the past, I have enjoyed the upper deck, but had limited experience in the nose (since I rarely flew F, and the nose is F on UA). So, what are your thoughts on 1A v anything on the upper deck? Digging around the threads hasn't made it particularly clear. It appears that 1 doesn't have overhead bag storage, but there is/used to be a closet in front of it? I will have my normal roller and computer bag. I always liked the little storage next to the window on the upper deck for work items.
Recommendations and opinions on the options? Thank you!

Upstairs is considered by some (including me) to be bit more intimate (many recommend avoiding rows 81 and 82 due to proximity to lavatory and associated riff raff waiting for said lav. Rows 83-85 seem to be the most desirable for most people who have expressed opinions to me. Some claim the back rows are noisier because of the galley, others say it doesn't matter. I have not noticed a huge difference heading toward the back. Upstairs is tends to have a bit higher background noise floor due to less isolation from above, and the aerodynamics on the back of the "hump".
Edit: upon review of a few photos posted higher up in this thread, it appears that the closet at the front of lower-deck cabin has been eliminated with the conversion to New C.

Sounds like I really can't lose! It's been a long time since I've been on a 74, but I have two upcoming flights on them (one on LH and one on UA). I think I'll stay in 1A for the LH flight and upstairs for the UA flight. Thanks, so much!
