Well, nothing from this point of view. Their cargo holds are normal and can carry cargo. You could put stuff to the seats as Lufthansa did, no problem. I just though that B777-300ER is more practical thing and it would be probably cheaper. Cargo hold is way bigger so it would be easier to load and it would fly cheaper back to Europe.
