Interesting: I also sat (from Frankfurt to Brasil) on row 81, on my return on row 86, I am a tall person but did not notice the difference in legroom, both flights were very comfortable. Very nice staff indeed (and I liked the pyjama tops they made available..)

Thanks for sharing. Just booked a flight and 81 is the only row with two seats together.

I flew on this exact plane last week, booked with United but operated by Lufthansa. I am not a princess or a diva, I usually fly economy (even for 14h longhauls) or economy plus. It was a business class sea on the lower deck, bulk-head Isle seat which was probarbly the best seat on that level. No amenities bag, something one would expect for a 4000USD round trip ticket. Seats were arranged 2-2-2 with the legs angled inwards, privacy was non existent. One of the meals was so bad I had to send it back (I have never done this in my life, but the chicken was slimy to the point i gagged after my second bite). They brought me a polenta instead which was kind of edable. The resolution of the TV screen was so bad that I just shut it off for the flight, it was like watching an old VHS video, one could barely make out the faces on the screen. The sterwardess was however very kind, if not for that I would rate this a 1/5 for the money spent. In contrast, the return flight was with United, also business class-bulk head and amazing. Access to a pretty incredible lounge, the food was good, ameneties bad, 1-2-1 arrangement of the seats, screen was decently high resolution and overall a great trip. The stewardess was however probarbly one of the worst ones ive experiences, but that didnt matter as the actual flight experience was good, a solid 4/5. I am never flying Lufthansa businss class again, thats for sure.

Excellent commentary. My wife and I flew Lufthansa 747 upper deck from YYZ to FRA in June and our observations and conclusion were the same as yours. Until there is a substantial revision to the Lufthansa business class product, seating arrangement and overall experience, I won't be flying them again. Very disappointing for the ticket price and we fly business class on Delta & Air Canada regularly.

@DrGariS

I appreciate your concern for my choice of footwear, but I assure you, I'm wearing Golden Goose, which is far from the typical old sneakers (Google this). Fashion has evolved significantly since 1947, with comfort being a top priority when it comes to dressing for travel. The days of formal attire during flights, like back in the 1950s, have long passed. Nowadays, it's more common for travelers to opt for comfort over traditional formal wear, and dressing up while others are in pajamas is considered unconventional. Perhaps it's been some time since your last flight or maybe you're reminiscing about the days of flying in your era? 😆 It's worth noting that the fashion norms in today's aviation landscape have shifted considerably. Your perspective seems rooted in a different era, and it's clear that you may not be familiar with modern flight experiences.
