The LX Business is very good. Flat bed. I dont think its worth being cramped 4 hours in a small plane for having a nicer seat on a 7 hour flight.

+1. Especially if you can get the throne seat then even better. I slept 11 of 13 hours from SIN-ZRH on that seat.

From UA insider:
Sorry it's taking so long to make headway but we have a pending request that we sent to Thai to see what they can do about the BKK-FRA segment. Hopefully I'll know more next week.

Which LH business is nicer, 744 or A330? From what I can tell the 744 is angled lie flat and the A330 is fully horizontal. Can anyone confirm?

Depends on route and plane.

AFAIK, no 744 has the new J.

I'm in LA and I'd prefer to fly from LAX, SFO, SEA or YVR as to maximize the time in J. According to seatguru there are 2 types of A330, one with new J one without. How can I tell which route has which?

I know. Even more annoying is they were flying 748s to LAX during the winter but stop switch to 744s during the summer.

Fly F on the 744 :-)

Where are you flying to? FRA or MUC?

F is never available from LAX. We're going to Italy through either FRA or MUC. We'd love to fly F though.

I looked, but it's a lot more difficult to get a flight to those cities for same day connection. Also my wife doesn't want to take too many stops.

From LAX, YVR and SEA are easiest
