Hi flying LX Tlv-Zrh-Jfk in J. It seems the double seats in row 4 are reserved for HON and Senator members, any ideas how I can confirm them? If and how I can get F Tlv-Zrh?  Thank you.

You realize that LH F isn't an option until within 14 days...

TLV finally? I've been to TLV in '07, '09, and '10.  That's more than any other foreign place.

Tried calling a few times keep telling me its reserved for elite members. Used to be able to get reserved seats by calling israeli office, but it seems they picked up on it as well.

-I enjoyed TK business flight crew over OS & LH business crew.
-TK lounge is far more superior than LH business lounge, and that's the reason why I would recommend extending your stopover in IST. It's enjoyable hanging around on the lounge.

Seems on some VS flights there is a "snooze zone" in UC. from the website it seems the main feature is there is not meal service and you can eat at the bar instead.

I would really love that but wondering how this would go with the kosher meal, will they serve it at the bar? is there anything to watch out from?

So F was empty but availability for F never opened?
