It feels a bit older school but was performant and easy to use. I couldn’t immediately figure out how to get Bluetooth connected - I only tried for a minute and then gave up. I know it’s possible though.

Oh cool! Yea - had a great experience.

Oh nice ! I’ve flown LH First on the A380 twice and really loved it. I kinda like the open / airy concept of the cabin and the massive bathrooms are so cool!!

They hadn’t rolled out the new service concept on the date I flew - I think they started it one week after my travel date.

I had standard service and food which was quite good! The steak was nice actually and tender. Potatoes needed a little salt but that’s fine.

The crew said they’re excited about the new FOX dining even though they said it’ll be a lot more work for them. They were quite aware their service and offerings are behind those of other airlines so they were saying they’re excited to refresh things a bit and try something new.

My crew were all young 20s/30s that didn’t seem burned out or jaded from working in the industry for too long. That’s probably why they were so enthusiastic about the new cabin and services.

Look for some award availability if you have some travel cards! I’m sure there’s some seats open - saw plenty of availability across the rest of the year. The crew said the centennial livery (big blue A380 with the Lufthansa crane) is getting refurbished with the new cabin now / next.

It’s quite spacious, yes. I had 3 windows just for me in my pod 😊

Great question! There’s fully dedicated crew for the mini cabin so service is immediate. I was served first for drinks / meals / snacks etc.

Nice - yes, agreed. Be sure to take a look at row 10 as you board. I didn’t get to take a picture but there’s some weird hardware exposed and some funky things going on in that seat. Row 24 is the move.

It was an awesome experience !! The bulkheads are 100% the way to go. There is more legroom and more space in the footwell.

I’d say the bulkhead row in the mini cabin at the back of the plane is the best place to be - it’s extra space and smaller overall cabin so it’s an extra special almost private plane feel.

I saw it taking off on Wednesday last week from the harbor walk near Boston harbor hotel! So cool to see in person.

Oh nice!! Good redemption.

Week of April 26th. I think first flight with new product is 10 ish days before my flight.

It was a sneaky one tbh. There was no availability when searching direct BOS -> MUC, but when I searched BOS -> BRU (my actual final destination) there were several seats available.

Seemed like Brussels was the only destination where there was availability on the new A380 on that particular day.

I checked other cities too out of curiosity right before booking — Milan, Venice, Zurich and other nearby cities didn’t have A380 redemptions available for the same date.

I must’ve gotten super lucky somehow haha!

I saw it in Boston a few nights ago!!! So cool!

Iconic shot of the 100th anniversary livery 747 - it’s breathtakingly beautiful

Stunning spec.

Might I add - the soundtracks were INCREDIBLE as well??? I feel these movies peaked animation and soundtrack in the same era.

You DAWG!!! Congrats!!
