CAI-NRT is shown as 2-class 777, which is the new 77W with the lie flat business class. Travelling MS in F is nowadays a good premium economy at best. I wonder how many people are caught out by the ignorance of travel agents who assume all classes are essentially equivalent across carriers.

I believe Thai has stopped (suspended?) first class service between BKK and PVG. I don't see any announcement but F in that segment isn't bookable any longer.
edit: just got off the phone with the reservation manager in LAX (nice guy!) and he confirmed BKK-PVG F being pulled. There's apparently discussions about redeploying the birds to Australia. First class service to Shanghai may recommence after March.

OZ other than all 747 variants, there is also one 3 class 777, with another one joining soon, used for daily ICN-FRA-ICN. The 3 class 777 will also do ICN-SIN-ICN 3 times weekly. Very soon ORD will be out of the F list, possible HKG too.
Currently ICN-HKG-ICN day flight sold as 3 class, only the night flight sold as 2 class.

The first page lists various aircraft that do and do not have first class by airline. Under LH you have the 346 (A340-600) as not having first class; however, most of the 24 346's that LH has DO have First. Only a few don't. Many of the flights out of Munich that are listed under LH are with the 346. Unfortunately, there's no easy way to tell from the timetable, since LH doesn't differentiate according to Seatguru.

Hello all,
I am trying to create an itinerary that maximizes the first class routes... I am just playing around with the ANA tool to see availability and for some reason there is 0 F-class availability for any flights from EWR/JFK/IAD to ZRH... Why is this? I am looking at exactly 330 days out, so unless someone already booked the seats released today, I don't understand why nothing is showing up.
Any insight?
