For an FRA-SFO flight, given a choice between
[LIST]
[*]LH in C on an A380 for 70K MP miles
[*]UA in F on a 744 for 80K MP miles
[*]LH in F on an A380 for 110 MP miles
[/LIST]
which would you pick and why?

Welcome [USER=2682]@jmd001[/USER] –
1. LH F – you’d get to use the FCT in FRA and it’s LH F!
2. UA F – it’s still F and is just a small premium over LH C
3. LH C – solid but not special

My 2 cents, anyway.

Ditto [USER=184]@MidSouth Skier[/USER] , but in reality #1 is your only choice. Why? I’ll post this again. You decide.

From you review, the LH 747-8i is most impressive, but (if I can get it), my flight would be on an A380. SeatGuru indicates the F seats on the A380 are a bit shorter and narrower on the 747-8i. Is the difference significant?

It’s not a huge, significant difference. LH’s F seats are essentially the same across the board. The biggest difference is that if you’re in row 1 or 2 on the 747-8, you’re the furthest away from the next seat in that row.
