Has anyone flown the AMS-TLV route on KLM in Business recently (and care to comment)? 

I can't get straight answer from KLM/Delta on what the cabin looks like, or how it is configured.  It's a 737, and according to both Seatguru as well as the KLM website, Business Class is a 3x3 configuration, with the middle seat blocked on each side.  Which basically means the cabin is awful, as it would have the same seat as Economy Comfort, just without anyone sitting next to you.

But according the the Delta/KLM reps on the phone, the cabin is 1 x 2 x 1 and isn't the same seat....????!?!?!?!?

Anyone flown KLM recently?  If you fly KLM from JFK-TLV, you can get a DL flight on the JFK-AMS portion, and that's the lie flat seat on the 767.

Looking at a flight TLV-FRA-IAD on LH in biz. I know the seats to FRA are not really biz but what about FRA-IAD? The LH chart shows the flight 416 is not yet the new biz, but how bad is the old biz on that route?
fyi chart is here  http://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/Business-Class-Product

If it's a 747 800 it will have the new business, quite a nice plane.

It's A330-300, so not new, how bad is the old compared to UA or LY?

Yes must sleep after being up all night to make 5am flight and economy seat to FRA. It's uncomfortable because not lie flat? Worse or same than LY?
