I usually suggest to avoid bulkheads in LH C. In the past two months I took the F-less A330 4 times, sitting in 3C, 5C, 10K and 4C.
Try to get a window/aisle (AC or HK) in row 3 or 4. Row 5 you get disturbed by the light in the galley and some noise, row 10 you have some HVAC noise from a blower.
The footsie /\ seats (DG) now have a larger/better divider, which is about the size of a legal/A4 sized sheet. I have not tested those.

LH removing F from FRA-based A330s?
I've been searching randomly for First Class flights, and to me it seems like Lufthansa is not selling F from Frankfurt on the A330s after 13 Jan 2018. It includes these routes:
FRA-JED/ADD
FRA-KWI
FRA-DOH
FRA-LAD
Anyone knows why? I thought the removal of F on the A330s was only supposed to happen on the MUC-based ones?
The Expertflyer seat map for FRA-JED looks like this from 14 Jan 2018 onwards:
FRA-JED/ADD
FRA-KWI
FRA-DOH
FRA-LAD

While those routes are not all the 330 destinations, the others I've checked (like DFW, DTW) show the same fate... So this might indeed be a very sad indication...

Seriously, plane type doesn't impact your chances of upgrading to F as all LH planes with F have 8 seats up front. It's the route that makes it harder or easier.

That depends ... they might no longer get my full fare refundable J ticket if I can no longer upgrade to F ... is that a good decision? Not so sure. Quite a few pax on last minute expensive business class fares ... this is where LH earns their money. I am already refusing to fly their A350 ... more business for other *A carriers.
