LUFTHANSA BUSINESS CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   AIRBUS A380

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!

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.

LUFTHANSA FIRST CLASS SEAT REVIEW   :   BOEING 747-400

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.

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.

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.

New First Class seat with movable privacy screens in 1-2-1 configuration like older product. Nice and comfortable when bedding and duvet added. You can't move from one side of cabin to other side now, but it is better configuration with more storage spaces and nice ottoman and better table setup. Seat controls stuck a few times on my flight and I couldn't get seat flat for a while, but it corrected with reboot by purser. Service good overall, but I'm not convinced by some odd new menu items. AVOD better with bigger screen than previous mini screens, but still a bit buggy - selection is ho-hum.

We fly two to three times a year from the US to Europe. I must say the Lufthansa Business class seats got to be among the worst in the industry. Sleeping is impossible, you slide into your feet. Lounge position in high up there, also hurting the inside of your knees. Lufthansa has a virtual monopoly to certain cities in Germany. If you want to avoid changing planes you have no choice. We are about ready to take the plane change over the terrible seats. Yes they are on time, but if you have an almost crippled body once you leave the plane, who cares. What happened to what I considered a top 5 airline in the world?

There really is no business class - Business Class in the A321 is just an area of economy class seats curtained off from the rest of the cabin. On one flight there was a tray in the middle seat which was mildly helpful but on the other flight there was nothing. To allow Business Class passengers to use the seat tray in front of them, the pitch obviously has to remain the same as the economy cabin. The food is of course a better standard than that served in the economy cabin but that is all. Why anyone would pay for Business Class seats for short haul flights when all you get is economy class seating is beyond me. The meal was nice but certainly not worth the difference in the fares.

The Recaro style seat is comfortable in the sitting position but quite uncomfortable in the angled reclining position. The seat surround is quite low compared with the capsule style seat used by Qantas, BA etc and there is little privacy in the cabin.

Singapore-Munich. The Business Class seat was comfortable to sit in but once put in the angled sleeping position, was quite uncomfortable. The Recaro seat Lufthansa use has a low back surround so there is little privacy in the cabin compared with the capsule style seat used by Qantas, BA etc.

Seats are ok with additional foam they put on for sleeping. Bathrooms are impressing (but who uses the bench there).

Long distance is a real pain in the Lufthansa business seat. OK to sit and read but bad to try and sleep. The seats are angled flat with a hump in the middle - I keep sliding down and waking up. Other carriers have caught up with LH and gone ahead with their seating comfort. Even SWISS is better now.

On my flight from Munich to charlotte only 4 seats in first class were taken. Lufthansa still uses the old first class seats in all planes except the A380. They are still comfortable if the motor works and you can relax on a full bed. In my case it didn't work, but I could change my seat. There is not much privacy.

The LH service on the ground at Frankfurt does make you feel like a valued customer. Onboard the First cabin is bright, seating 1-2-1 with plenty of privacy. The two large washrooms give more than enough space to get changed. Bed quality excellent.
