LX has F on ZRH-TLV? Since when?

Since forever. Saw it with my own eyes.

Ah, for some reason I thought LY was the only F to TLV.

Good to know.

How come I can't find anywhere to book it? (Not Kayak/Orbitz/ITA etc... not even Swissair.com)

They don't sell F on that route though they do have F seats with J service.

HONs with C tickets and if plane is oversold they will seat other status pax in First seats, but it is stll business service only.

Well, then that's the J to which I was referring  :D

Trick would be when J is not full.
I'd hope they'd give to *G automatically when full.

Hey, sitting in the first row of J, and peeking through the curtains at those massive seats in F, how was I to know it's not "real" F? I, for one, would have been quite happy to be sitting up there instead, even with the "inferior" J service. :P

.....so basically it's generally worth the extra 30,000 for F?

How would I go about getting SQ F ?

of course.

The only difference between F and C is the lack of drinks and pajamas.

Now you're confusing me... the seats in F looked like they could swallow my J seat whole. How are drinks and PJs the "only difference"?

OT,only time I ever sat in F was on this route, I was flying in Y and was airsick and the Swiss gentleman refused to sit near me, I was taken up front to F by the stewardess. Ever since then I'm hooked ;)

LH FRA-TLV is currently Y with roped seat, so stay away if possible

The issue is that LX often swaps in a plane like that too, so it can be really frustrating
