LUFTHANSA First Class and Business Class Seat reviews

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   BOEING 747-400

FRA-BOS Business Row 11. Very poor organized boarding in FRA, no call, no separation, no active staff. Seat on this old plane was very hard, reclined to angled flat. Three seats in middle, so passenger in center has to climb over the one to his left or right to reach aisle. Truly not worth the price.

Whilst comfortable when sitting upright, the sleeping position was beyond uncomfortable. Why they would not install a flat bed seat into A380 is unbelievable. Frankfurt to Miami long uncomfortable flight.

Business Class seats in the latest generation of A340 are not lie-flat but give the opportunity to sleep a bit, especially on the overnight flight back. Crew very attentive, was lucky to have to same crew on both flights which made them even more friendly and helpful. Food was good as was the IFE. Look forward to the full-flat seats in the future.

ORD to MUC in old seating. Still very comfy, seat is huge. Not very much privacy. Service very attentive and helpful without being too much. Food and wine excellent, enjoyed some caviar and lobster. Since my connecting flight in MUC left from an outside position I was taken by Limousine to the plane, which makes you feel as really valued customer.

The business class seat is a bad joke. It is uncomfortable in almost every position. So called flat is a 20 degree slope. IFE was a waste of time. We were in last business class row (second cabin) and it was slow. However a step up from economy. Able to sleep 4 hours Frankfurt to YVR. Not sure if it's worth paying for.

Service was superb. Only 5 passengers in a 8 passenger cabin. Seats are old fashioned but at least they lie flat. Entertainment system not worth the trouble. No jack for personal earphones.

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A380

Lufthansa has taken the second level of the A380 and created Economy class with Business class pricing. Cramping a 2-2-2 configuration of these old uncomfortable, slanted seats that are the worst in the industry for business class is a disgrace! Business class is now gigantic (close to 100 people) and the aisles narrow so that the staff cannot give proper individualized service as there is just too much ground to cover. There are not enough toilets for this size of compartment as well!

Although pretty old style business class found on my flight from Frankfurt to Singapore, still okay to find a good sleep.

Recent trip to Dubai from Frankfurt. Not the worst business service but far from ideal. The lounge in Frankfurt is a shocking disgrace. Good job I don't drink gin as there isn't any! If you are planing a holiday and using your hard earned money to treat yourself don't bother.

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A380

I should have read the reviews before booking my flight! I understood that LH had made some changes to their Business Class on the A380 - according to their marketing blurb and I was keen to try them out for myself. What a joke - really, they shouldn't have even bothered! It is beyond belief why they haven't changed this really old uncomfortable product which has zero privacy, no space to put any work or business items anywhere, lacks a decent monitor for entertainment and has a really poor selection of movies to boot. My journey was uneventful, but also not great value for money, no ipod connector, no laptop space, no book or newspaper space, in fact the only space is the minute magazine rack which is full of LH marketing mags. The food was competent if not interesting, and the service (I was to the rear of the enormous Biz section) was lacklustre and perhaps efficient. Certainly it could not be said it was warm, interested or courteous.

This seat should be compared to Economy Seats. It is of course much better than those, and the seat is not bad for sitting in. It was however very uncomfortable to sleep in. I found it even less comfortable than the UA (domestic) First class seat on my connecting flights. There are a lot of controls that do not really make the seat any better, but rather add confusion. The entertainment system in the seat is not bad, but the system is awkwardly slow. There is little privacy from your neighbor.

DFW to FRA return. One of the worst business class seats we've ridden in. Broken controls, limited functionality, entertainment system would not work. Flight attendant's answer? I can move you to coach.

I cannot believe this seat is so bad. This chair is a torture device whether you are sleeping or just sitting. Even the passenger next to me was complaining about it giving him a bad back too. The seat is hard, sloping and the controls are terrible. The IFE is OK but the screen feels like it is down by your feet and not very comfortable to watch, from any position. Because there are so many Business Class seats upstairs the service is really slow. If you are not at the front then forget good service. I have experienced better economy class service than this. On the plus side, storage is very good and the croissants are the best I have tasted on any airline. Unfortunately, I don't book airline seats based on pastry quality!

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   BOEING 747-400

Business class below its peers. Angled seats means slipping seats and therefore difficulty to sleep. Planes are old, and food is average. Lounge in Frankfurt is crowded with poor shower facilities. The only pro is the professionalism of the crew, but if cabin quality and sleep is what matters, look for another carrier.

New first class seats with a recliner and a bed. 1-1 configuration. The TV screen is big, inflight entertainment was great and BOSE headphones helped to reduce the noise. Privacy is limited as there is no screen or anything to protect the view. Only at the side of the bed there is a small screen. Service was friendly and very personal.

Astonishing that Lufthansa has installed these outmoded seats in their brand new planes. They are narrow, there is little privacy, no useful storage space within reach while seated, and they don't recline fully. These seats are closer to premium economy than business class.

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A380

A380 business class seat is a joke. Narrow, uncomfortable, unable to fully recline. The miriad controls only made the seat worse with each touch of a button. Never again!

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A340-200

We were supposed to fly in an A340-600 and experienced an aircraft change. Seats were horrible, really uncomfortable. Food subpar and boarding a disaster. When you buy a full fare business ticket you expect to board before economy and to not stand for 30 minutes while they put you in a queue. Screaming baby in mother's lap behind me seemed to have been upgraded. I will never spend the money on a business ticket on LH again. When I wrote and complained I got a form letter back that said nothing.

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   BOEING 747-400

The seats are just terrible for today's business class standards, more like premium economy comfort in 5 star airlines. No full flat seats, small tv screens, terrible food selection and rushed service. Do not fly Lufthansa business unless you have to.

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A380

What a disappointment!. FRA-JNB-FRA and Lufthansa has not installed flat beds in business class. It is a case of "slip sliding" down the seat. Headrest keeps slipping down as well and whoever thought up the wonderful idea of inserting the personal reading lamp in the winglet of the headrest. Lufthansa is a premium airline and to invest in the A380 the way it has done and not include state of the art seating is questionable business sense, especially when it is understood that the seating will be upgraded in the next couple of years.

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   BOEING 747-400

The Lufthansa Business Class Seat is way below standard and one of the worst among full service carriers. While pitch and sitting comfort is decent for normal weight people, sleep comfort is very poor. The seat does not lay horizontal but stays significantly angled when in fully reclined position. The cushioning is too hard for sleeping on the side. Privacy is poor and seat width is just sufficient for normal weighted persons but below industry standard. I fly transcontinental 8-15 times a year out of Germany, and I prefer other airlines when flying overnight just because of the poor sleeping comfort of the Lufthansa Business Class Seat.

Manchester to Orlando via Frankfurt. Used BMI miles for this trip and wish I'd known before I booked what a poor rating Lufthansa business gets. On the plane we were in seats 3H and 3K where there was no storage apart from a magazine rack on the floor. As for the seat I felt like I spent most of the ten hour journey trying to find a comfortable sitting position. IFE was no distraction as it was limited and awkward to use. The service was good as was food but they didn't compensate for that awful seat.

Unfortunately it's simply impossible to sleep on Lufthansa business class seats. They are very uncomfortable, and often need cleaning. On my last flight the odor of the seat was so bad I had to put the blanket on the seat and then sleep without one. What was even more amazing that they had no spare blankets either. Compared to other airlines including Swiss, they are far behind. Maybe a few Lufthansa staff should try sleeping on the planes to see why customers are choosing other airlines.

LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A380

My recent journey from Brussels to Tokyo, in business class, was quite disappointing. The return leg, my first time on an A380, highlighted the painful problems with Lufthansa business class. Firstly, the seats are simply not up to standard. Too cramped, painful to sit in, almost impossible to sleep on, and they offer virtually no privacy at all. Secondly, the in-flight service is very rushed, touching on rude. The catering is very mediocre, only very mildly above economy class. Lastly, I won't even comment on the business class lounges that I visited in Munich and Frankfurt, they were a disgrace.

Amman to Frankfurt was just European business class and poor by the standards of say British Airways. It was an overnight flight and frankly it's disgraceful that they think they can get away with this type of seating. I had engagements following my flight and the idea was to get some sleep. Nearly 5 hours on a plane necessitates a degree of comfort (I had flown out on BMI which, while not fully reclining, offered big armchair type seats ideal for a day flight).

In the world of lie flat seats at a time when all others are making their seats wider and truly flat- why in the world would Lufthansa put on their new flagship aircraft such mediocre seats in business class? It really is a shame that they could charge so much and give so little.

MEX-FRA on the newly configured upper-deck with recliner and bed. Amazing product that Lufthansa has developed. Service and food was good, not excellent but the new bed is comfortable. It gets dry and hot on the upper deck so drink plenty of water.
