If you choose to fly the Lufthansa A380--the huge double-decker Airbus--and the plane is outfitted with the original seat configuration, be advised that on either side of the plane (not the middle seats) the business class seats require one passenger to climb directly over the contiguous passenger to use the plane's facilities. Unless you're related to each other, this is embarrassing, inconvenient, etc. The flight crew and ticket agents are well aware of this problem and are apologetic. The engineer who designed this configuration has hopefully moved on to another line of work, perhaps gulag dormitories or something similar.

Same problem in Steerage. I tell them they should have considered it before the got a window seat on a night flight, i just say, from my comfortsble asike seat, "you aren't going no place, sit back down and hold it, we'll be there in 6 hours!"

Mr. E, you expect that in the cheap seats but for what you pay to sit in Business Class, the airline should do better.

LH is never a great airline for business travel.
In the future, fly Swiss, Air France, KLM, or SAS. Check the aircraft type and seat arrangements in advance. BA offers new business seats on some routes, but swaps aircrafts often without notice.
