Lufthansa offers one of the few widely available first class products across the Atlantic, and for that matter, it’s one of the best first class products between the United States and Europe that’s bookable with miles.

Surprised to see Singapore doesn’t get first class service these days. Is that recent?
LH F really is an overhyped, overrated product. In my experience, a good business class like EVA's is a much better experience. However, access to last-minute availability with miles does come in handy sometimes.
So Lufthansa Miles and More members have better availability with First Class awards than partner airlines but there is a $1000 fuel surcharge ?
Does it make a difference if you are frequent flyer , Senator , or HON status?
LH first is atrocious, and yet for some reason seems to by Lucky’s favorite - he promotes it all over his blog, at least once a day. I guess because he’s “German.”
In recent months, there have been reports of F award space being unavailable to even LH members.
Uh oh. I booked my wife and I from Europe to Chicago in first class with Lufthansa miles next summer but now Lufthansa is discontinuing the 747-8. Any suggestions on how to approach this? My inclination is to just call and see about flying into NYC or Dulles.
Looking at the photos, I do not see any appeal of those seats. Maybe for miles, but then again, with all the limitations (and additional fees)... there are some great business seats elsewhere with less investment.

It`s just that they do not really invest in cabin maintenance of 747-4 anymore. Some are in really bad shape.
Lufti has a codeshare agreement with Singapore Airlines. This works well if you're booked in first class, but not so well if you finish-up in Lufthansa 747-400 business class.
Houston will get something next summer during World Cup. Especially if Germany , Switzerland, Austria , or other EU teams draw a match there.
Houston has been getting 747-8s with First in the summer season, swapping to 747-400s in winter. I believe the swap just happened this week.
At least Arps is funny in the way that trolls often are, whereas BZ is just a joyless, monotonous wokescold with no redeeming features whatsoever.
It’s alway a “Zionist” thing with BZ, even when it’s not. You name it, it’s the Zionists what dunnit. British Airways and Lufti are somehow in bed with the evil Zionist cabal, you see, and that’s just as bad as if the airlines themselves had been dropping bombs on Gaza.
Do we know if something will be replacing the 747-8 from FRA-EWR after Janaury 11th? Or is that just the airline not providing flight information through those dates.
