That will be a bulkhead seat right next to the grand staircase!

I'm sure it's exciting to be on an inaugural flight (the one to JNB doesn't count ) and I look forward to your report.

Would you mind to have a look at seat 59C (last seat in the first section) -- I'm interested to know how bothersome the toilets are. Do the doors open to the aisle or into the corridor connecting the two aisles?

My SO is terrified that the door might open into her face, while I keep telling her that's the best seat she can get (in Y) -- this far in the front...

I'm booked on LH711 on July 28th in C (I'm in 10H), long way from inaugural flight. There will be plenty of pics/reports until then.

There was a seat in C on June 15th on 710 with June 18th return available on USAir right after they announced the destinations. I had that on hold, but I couldn't travel that week and I had to let it expire.

The huge C cabin on the A380 looks terrible. Like a massive dormitory.
I wouldn't bother.

I'm getting some pretty cool prices today on expedia.com
FRA-NRT 11.6-15.6 1,170.80USD!! Only first flight is A388 the next one is 77W for me actually better since I've never flown 77W.
I recall first time when I checked prices on the first day it was 1666 then It goes up 2200-3200... yesterday still 2200 and now only 1170.
Too bad I will know if I can go there after 8th of june What do you think about my chances to get this price after 8th?

Just out of curiousity can anyone check how many free seats are still there?
