I’m curious to know whether the next round of A350 deliveries (not the ones which are being snapped up this year, but the AIX- reg which are due to continue arriving next year) will in fact have the new C shown in the photos meant for the 779, or something similar. I'm also keen to know if there will be a (new) F. The EAF website says new C and F, but is there anything concrete yet? In particular (slightly off topic but I’m asking about C and F jointly), is there anything concrete out there on what a 4-seat F could look like? It all seems a bit vague right now.

Latest update on the new C: reveal in March 2023 at the ITB trade show, launch with new A359 delivery in June 2023 and retrofit on old aircraft begins in Q2. New B789 coming in 2023(?) will also have the new C.

What will be revealed in March 2023? Can we expect any changes / further improvements compared to the images a couple of years ago?

The seats are in production and will be delivered to Airbus in time for the A359 entering the FAL. Some details are bound to leak in the course of the year. Small details like the seat covers and new color scheme are already in the leased PR A359.
The new 'inflight experience interkont' seems to be in the final design stages.

Good news?
The question mark is there because I'm not sure the implications will end up being good news (at least for me), especially given the current management mentality at LHG... But I'm looking forward to see what LHG has in store.
And I was laughed at when I mentioned that LH was potentially developing a new F for the B748 some time ago.
Those are some big words and I do hope they do it right and deliver on their promises. This could be great, potentially, however the LH track record on delivering on such promises has not exactly been amazing in the recent years.
Including FIRST CLASS? panicked shrieking
PS: Is it just me or does the text read like a German text that underwent translation by google translate?

(...) The entire flight experience from Y and Y+ to C and F, will receive a new top-of-the-line product that is unparalleled in the market: New seats, new cabin interior, new inflight entertainment system. (...)

(...) So the concept of more choice and more individuality ancillary revenue is overriding everything - in all travel classes (...)

Is this text not written by someone at Lufthansa? Why do they keep referring to the company in 3rd person?
Anyway, it takes some guts to admit that hodgepodge business class cabins "borrowed" from other airlines provide a better experience than their own product. And after reading all that, I personally think that they deserve another star. Bring on FICE

There is also a German version which makes more sense, but since this is an english forum I copied the english version. Yes they seem to use a translation program.

I am always scared when LH comes with these "big announcements" as it usually takes them a decade from announcement to have it across all their fleet.
