Good morning from Tokyo! While a full trip report will be coming in a bit, I couldn’t help but share a few pictures of Lufthansa’s Airbus 380 first class, after flying it from Frankfurt to Tokyo.

As evidenced by the pictures, this was one of the emptiest flights I’ve ever been on, especially in business class, where they ended up having a higher flight attendant to passenger ratio than in first class! Seven flight attendants for 14 passengers (out of 98 seats).

Yes, the picture above is business class in-flight…

It is very similar to the Cathay Pacific First Class as well. I suppose the fare is not the most affordable for everyone by flying F class on a long-haul flight. However, I would say if the fare could be reimbursed, then it's a fair deal.

Once LH starts taking delivery of their 748s they will have a new C/F that will have true lie flat seats, and they said they won't take their time in updating all of their planes. If I recall correctly they plan on having the new seats deployed on the entire fleet by the end of 2012.

@German Expat Look for routings with the 767 for example via ZRH and you won't be stuck with United old style seats. And at least United is retrofiting those seats. LH continues to install the lame ones on new aircraft. In contrast the new LH F class looks good -- have to admit. Just won't pay money or miles for their C class seats.

That business class seems crowded ( w/o people of course). Love the first class.

Absolutely loved the A380 LH F experience JFK-FRA earlier this year. Full trip report @ http://milepoint.com/forums/threads/photo-tr-lh-a380-first-class-a346-old-first-class-jfk-fra-dus-fra-ewr.18852/ with plenty of pictures.
