LH 747-8i First vs Business
« on: January 04, 2014, 06:43:45 PM »
I have a flight on the new 747-8 from TLV-FRA-ORD right now I am in Business and I have the option of adding more miles and flying in First Class. I will only have an hour in the FCL but are the seats that much better? Although with a short connection the Porsche may be very useful.

Curious to hear your thoughts

Never done it.

Really depends on your mileage stash, but IMO definitely worth it.

I just booked business on 74H from LAX-FRA. I've never seen first available from LAX, but I like the idea of 10:45 hours on the upper deck in business.
