LH First Class dinning tete-a-tete?
Does anyone know if it is possible to dine in LH First Class tet-a-tete, as on Swiss? If we are family of four on 747-800 and reserve seats in row 3, could we have dinner together in two middle seats?

No belt on the ottoman, i.e. sitting there would violate LH’s rule “wear your belt whenever seated”. Some crews may tolerate it, but not by the book.

In addition First Class tables on LH are not as large as those on LX. I doubt if there is enough space for two table settings.

Officialy you can't. Unofficially I have always done it and the crew would usually tell you it is not allowed but they tolerate it.
Being in row 3 on the 748 however I don't think it is necessary at all since you sit very close to each other. We tend to go for row 1 on the 748.

My advice to the thread starter would be not to count on it that it will actually work (e.g. if there is the slightest hint of possible turbulence), but they could still ask on board.
If dinner together is really important, I would recommend a restaurant or the lounge before departure. Much more comfortable and no bending of rules.

As an aside, I always found it odd that LH allows itself to call it an ottoman, but doesn't allow for it to used as such. (An ottoman is first and foremost a stuffed bench without a back, and only secondarily a box, not the other way around.)
