That is the only product I have flown, curious how the others compare.

Inferior, IMO.  Google will show you everything you need to know.

I did both.  747 is much better, but the A340 was still very good.

And the FCL in MUC is very similar to FCL in FRA with all the outstanding personal help and escort.

According to Lucky, all AirBerlin's long haul a330's now have their new lie flat business class seats.

huh  ???
Not entirely sure why.  But I guess the fact that I had to constantly wake up the guy sleeping next to me so I could go to the bathroom was a big enough turnoff.

So basically you needed the bathroom every 20 minutes or so?.......

So that's your problem.  :P I agree that having aisle access is a plus but most people don't need the bathroom that often that it should make the flight such a bad experience.....

Even once would have ruined it, one off the reasons I pay extra for business is so that I don't have to uncomfortablely wake up the grumpy artist from Wales sitting next to me, or be caught in the act trying to climb over him.

Then you're foolish for paying extra for business.

I changed it a little.
To each their own, and lots of people would say that it's more foolish to only fly in order to fly premium.
