Lufthansa First Class FRA-MEX
Hello,
after my mediocre First Class experience with Swiss last year, I have now tried out their "mother " Lufthansa to see, if they can do it better. And they did. I had a very nice flight in their new First Class on the 747-8 from Frankfurt to Mexico City. You can find the full trip report with photos in my blog here:

Thank you, JALlover
Yes, I did try the caviar, of course. But I like it without all the trimmings, so just some caviar on the plate was not worth a photo.
Flying time from FRA to MEX is 12.15

Thanks for the report! If you think the 6 seats across in LH business is tight, try the 8 across in UA BusinessFirst. It is really tight!

2-4-2 seating must not be the worst thing, I personally like the CW seats of British Airways for the privacy. Comparing LH and UA on Seatguru shows that even with 2-4-2 the actual seat width on UA is wider than the new C seats of LH. The V-shape gives room between the seats, but the seat shell itself is very tight, especially in bed-mode.
