180 cm and side sleeper and I find the thrones perfectly comfortable. On a red-eye the even K (on the 333/343) might be just as good, if not better.

While not the best seats for tall single side sleeper flyers, I still prefer them to the couple seats on LX and LH. In fact, my only J-bookings on LHG would be using these seats as backup in case the upgrade to F fails.

I was somehow surprised, that during my booking to TLV I was able to secure a throne for free "only" as FTL. Different policy for TLV or extension also for FTLs?

Probably for TLV only.

TLV and I think CAI? They are the destinations which offer widebody service but no F, and the role of "premium seats for SEN and HON" is therefore taken by F seats.

If the flights dont go narrow-body, which is not rare, unfortunately.

Oh yes, during booking, they asked... 1300 CHF for this seat :/ Let's see in a few days how will it look during check-in.

Yeah, that's too bad. Otherwise ZRH-TLV would be ideal for QP chasing.

flew in 6A last night and slept perfectly fine.
For some reason LX is routinely happy to give me 6A works for me

Given the current situation, I am not sure I would use the term "ideal".

Im a lowly United Silver, but with BA removing longhaul aircraft from TLV, I booked an upcoming flight on LX Business. I was able to book an XL/First seat at no charge on ZRH-TLV, which surprised me.
