I've just booked a return flight from Munich to Hong Kong. There is a non-stop with LH but generally I don't mind changing planes if there's an advantage in price or comfort. Most booking websites...

I'm 6'2" and my knees were were squeezed up against the seat in front. It's tight. There was no free in-flight catering - though I can't tell you if they handle things differently on a charter flight.
