Lufthansa B747-400 (Config. 1) First

Flew the upgraded B747 where they only assign two seats per passenger.

The extra seat can be used for sperading out items to be used in flight and then made up into a dedicated bed for sleeping by the FA. The idea works great. Most opted for the bed being made up after takeoff and simply swapped the inflight working stuff, books, papers, laptop etc. over to their seat when using the bed.

The feeling of spaciousness and privacy was much enhanced, especially for those not in the exit row.

The service and on ground were typical of most reviewers. Boarding is still a cattle queue even for first class.

I did fly the new FIRST class on LH, and find it excellent- the best .
Compared to SQ , NH and Cathay pacific, its more spacious, you don't have the feeling to be locked up. The bed is fantastic a real matress - perfect sleep.
Forget skytrax ratings- LH service is excellent and their new first is a worderfull experience.
