From ATW Daily News:

Well some pictures of the interior are now out.

I've never really been impressed with LH from the pics (I have never flown with them) but this new F looks amazing. Well done and I would give it a go anyday!!! I'd even go so far as saying that it looks better than QF A380 F.

J still is of the sloping nature and doesn't seemed to have changed much as far as I can tell.

Y looks quite good too; as far as Y is concerned!

Woo Hoo - what a bathroom on a plane!

From No News - the elusive mile high club would be easy to join in that bathroom!

It looks IMPRESSIVE!

LUFTHANSA has unveiled the "world's quietest first class" cabin, but it's the bathrooms on the A380 that has reviewers gushing.

The luxurious First-Class bathroom features wide vertical mirrors and a five-star hotel-style vanity area. The bathroom is fitted with separate wash, changing and toilet areas.

Y looked ok, and F looked amazing, though not very private, unless the dividers rise up when you want to go to sleep, though certainly didn’t seem that way in the photos.

As for J, awful. Both design and what it’d feel like in the seats.

I guess they’ve had more time than other airlines to refine a look and feel, but I would have thought they could do a better job. To me it really doesn’t seem all that great. Bathroom is very stylish though in F.

(Pic 2) F bathroom awesome.

(Pic 1) First cabin design is more like QF, not the railway carriage of AF,SQ,EK.
Love the fluffy carpet. TV screen whilst big is a long way away.

(Pic 3) Assume the cabinet is only F

(Pic 8) F seat backs look very low (like new QF A330 Y)

(Pic 9) J seat- fail

God - J looks revolting. I can believe there is such a quantum leap between J and F!

I doubt I will be flying LH anytime soon after seeing those J seats - although, I could just fly F

I'm so surprised LH are not thinking about fully flat J. To all of you who hate Skybed Mk I - look again.

Perhaps LH was really concerned about joining the fray in the "eroding" of this particular element that separated J and F (i.e. F having a fully flat bed). The legroom looks pretty limited as well.

Personally I'd like to see what LH will really make of F. If you wanted to fly an F very similar to the seat you're seeing, you'd fly LX F. You wouldn't get a huge bathroom and a quiet aircraft (unless A330 or A340 aircraft are 'quiet'), but the seat/suite would be very similar, and LX service is really, really good.

I note they mentioned there are privacy dividers, so perhaps it’s not as open as it looks in all the photos so far, when you want some privacy.
