Out of curiosity I've tried to find what the beancounter has achieved.
(All times are block time according to LH.com)
FRA - ATL 10h10m
FRA - DEN 10h10m
FRA - MIA 10h05m
FRA - SEA 10h10m
Eastbound TATL flights take much shorter, so...
MUC - DEN 10h30m / DEN - MUC 9h45m
FRA - IAH 10h45m / IAH - FRA 9h45m
Will there be PJs on the way back?

Maybe also DEN-FRA this weekend..
Also.. what constitutes as flying at night? I mean, both directions will be night (Den->FRA) and "night".. (Muc->Den fights the sun..)

Did LH offer only a shirt in F on day flights some time ago? I also have F PJs without pockets...
In any case the bean counter or inflight product manager probably wants to make the pants the differentiating factor between F & C
The previous had of inflight who told me in 2012 that they save millions by not adding 20 cents to an amenity kit is now on the board of LH Cargo... so beancounting is good for the career....

I doubt that the DEN-FRA and DEN-MUC routes will have the new amenities. The press release talked about flights to/from the US West Coast.

They may not be the best but I don't find them to be "horrible" and they have side pockets compared to other carriers' F pants.
Seriously, giving a shirt and no pants?! And you can imagine the beancounter that came up with the "0.5" in 10.5! Pretty lame considering that the hard product looks to be WAY behind the competition.

It’s the fabric of the pants themselves that I find horrible. So scratchy. Don’t care about pockets when it’s uncomfortable to wear.

Yes, no give & not stretchy, frankly I like that, very fine cotton fabric, to make it stretch then you need to add manmade fibre which does not breathe so well, I go for an XL instead of my normal L size & lots of room for movement 😁

I do use the LX PJs outside the plane, but never the LH ones.

LX Zimmerli are for sure the best 👍

Any info on what Asian flights are getting it? June is right aroud the corner so they must have a plan. I´ve got FRA-PVG in June and it is 10h 45 m so should make the cut but it is hard to know what "select Asian flights" actually means.

The competition usually doesn't offer PJs in C, even QR has become stingy.

I don't remember LH offering only shirts on day flights. It's been a fair number of years that I remember getting pants and shirts. I mentioned the pockets as a good thing.

Just checked: actually it‘s 65% plastic (polyester), which makes them light, but at the same time scratchy and not elastic at all.
