Perhaps it was mentioned before, but MSN 146 and 149 have a radome dish on the roof (which is used for on-board WiFi etc). As far as I know, the LH A380s in service don't have it. Can we assume MSN 146 will be the first one with the new cabin configuration? First Engine Run msn149 F-WWSX 22/11/2013 by A380_TLS_A350, on Flickr

It seems strange to introduce a new layout for the last two frames, but this was certainly decided before LH elected to cut its order. Can the changes be retrofitted to the rest of the fleet ?

Next year Lufthansa will introduce a new cabin product (new J seats, Y+ etc) and the whole A380 fleet will be upgraded. But based on the dish, it seems MSN146 will be the first A380 to have it.

On Twitter Lufthansa Flyer said today that AIMF will be refurbished during her current maintenance.
