A380 from JNB to Frankfurt - what a let down. Seats do not lie flat and constant feeling of sliding down do not equate to a good nights sleep. Service and waiting time for the toilets the same as flying economy. Did not get the feeling that I was in a Business class environment at all. Appears that Lufthansa is charging high but delivering as little as possible.

The old business class seats do not extend fully flat. It is like trying to sleep in a dentist's chair. On an 11 hour flight it was very difficult to sleep. Not at all worth the money. Compared to lie-flat seats on Swiss Air, this was terrible. Never again.

The seats lie totally flat so I was able to get some sleep. The seats don't have as privacy either. The upper section of business class is much quieter than downstairs.

The seats are old and very uncomfortable. When in sleeping position you feel like you are sliding off the seat. Very narrow seat as well. Food and wine has slowly gotten worse as LH is in money saving mode. Not a good product.

New F-class seat on Boeing 747-800 is very wide and extremely comfortable - almost identical to the new seats on LX F- class. At 6'3", I had no problem whatsoever sleeping in a variety of positions. The seat mattress and very comfortable duvet provided combine well with the van Lack pyjamas for a great night sleep. Beyond the bed, the seat is very comfortable for working, dining and relaxing as well.

Seat is comfortable but the bed comes into its own - wider and longer than most 1st class products. I am 6'3" and found it very comfortable. Great food and wine, but where LH excelled was in the cabin ambience. Contemporary and very quiet.

The decision by Lufthansa to use unmodified A321s on a medium haul sector such as CAI-FRA is a shocking one. Business Class consisted of simply placing a drinks table on the middle seat of an economy row. The leg room and seat pitch were the same as economy. The seat itself, even as an economy product, was as hard as its metal frame, uncomfortable, and I was unable to sleep on a 4.5 hour flight that started at 3.15 am. The catering was barely superior to the economy product though served on porcelain and white linen. There was no IFE in either cabin! The entire business class was complaining, and cabin crew were red-faced with embarrassment, clearly not believing their own excuses. Lufthansa is treating premium class passengers with contempt, and I for one will not be flying with them again.

The seats are awful, they slope downward fully reclined, and being 2 meters tall I was unable to even curl up on my side! Width is standard economy! I had a window seat, and had to rest my left arm on the "raised" tray storage compartment - the mark is still on my arm 3 hours later. Also, way too many seats for good service - had to wait for toilet every time. Infrequent visits with the wine (they actually pushed a cart for re-fills).

SIN-FRA. This was their newest A380 and I was expecting the new business class with flatbed. However it was the old business class which is really bad as you slide down trying to sleep. It's mind boggling that Lufthansa outfits a brand new A380 with old seats.

EZE-FRA Seat 9K, together with A, maybe the best seats of the business area. Heard many complaints about the seat, but it was good. Didn't slide down as most people, because I used the food rest. FRA-EZE 1K, good seat, but not as good as the row 9 (emergency exit). Food from EZE was good, but much better from FRA. Service good, beverage selection very good.

FRA-IAD and IAD-MUC where I expected new Business Class as the ads say. Ended up in A330-300 and B747-400 with old seat that does not allow a good sleep, you slide down and sleeping on the side forces you to turn very frequently as your bones start aching soonest. Had middle seat that does not provide storage space for books, reading glasses, etc. Only very small privacy divider. Not value for money.

LH Business Class feels aged, seats do not recline into 180° position, and seat comfort is average at best. Entertainment system, if you are lucky enough to get it working, is average at best, with a poor selection of films that you are likely to have watched several times before. Average to poor food quality, wines are "Cru Bourgeois" at best, LH is trying to save money everywhere, and it shows. Overall, an airline in steep decline as regards service quality and seating comfort. In today's world, this would normally qualify as "economy plus" - except for the price!

I am a female 5'5" tall and medium build Perhaps because my feet can never touch the floor is why I find the seats so uncomfortable? My back was killing me after flying in Business Class on this plane. Crew was wonderful, food great, but seat terrible. I did not sleep at all on the return. Buttons very hard to use to position seat and further, when it is in it's "flattest" position, you need to move every item you have stowed under the seat in front of you and put it in overhead bin (if you are sitting next to someone you know however I guess you could use the very small area in between both your seats). I had to get up and stretch, walk, use the bathroom, and constantly adjust a pillow and blanket to get relief. I thought Frankfurt Lounge was pretty good except that there are almost no outlets to charge up your phone, ipad, etc.

A bit old fashioned, but the seat works still fine. It is large and full flat and gives opportunity to get sleep. Not too much privacy though. Food and wines were superb as well the service, which was professional but not too attentive. The entertainment system is a joke for nowadays.

New Business Class seat on new A330. It is much better than the old one. The hardness of the seat cushions is adjustable, as they are filled with air. The seat turns into an almost 2m long bed and is now horizontal. The monitor of the IFE seems to be bigger and you have more choices (same as on A380). The seat arrangement is 2-2-2 with the two seats in the middle building a V, whilst the two other pairs are parallel.

The new Business Class seats are very comfortable, in sitting as well as sleeping mode. Excellent entertainment program, very large and movable screen. The new seats are flat when used as a bed. I had seats in the upperdeck, which is rather cosy and personal.

Quite appalling. The seat is multi-adjustable but this only adds to the number of positions one can be uncomfortable in. One of the latest model aircraft with very old standard seating. The IFE is not worth turning on. Very little choice of either movies, TV or music - I don't understand how Lufthansa can lag so badly and it's not as if they are trying to offer a "budget" business class. It's much closer to Premium Economy than Business Class.

Nice aircraft but not like the A380. More noise, less privacy. New IFE screens are big, entertainment more than enough (in all kind of languages) and than the new seat with a flat bed. Seating comfort good but to sleep it was almost impossible. I have no idea who advise them but it is time to change. Bring the seat in the bed position you hit with your shoulders the box where it is going into and the foot box (it is what it is) was not aligned so that it squeeze your legs to the side. The foot box was so narrow that I cannot sleep on the side because my feet are to big.

DUS-YYZ, the business class seats were angled lie-flats. Not the same as fully lie-flat. These seats were terrible and I developed a serious back pain as a result of the 7+ hour flight. Food on Lufthansa was much better than Air Canada. However, I much rather prefer nice rest over good food.

New Business Class MUC-JFK. Big improvement from old seats. The seats are fully flat. I had a window seat that was slightly angled towards to window making it easier to look out of. The screens are much larger than before and can be adjusted in a number of ways. The entertainment programme is the same as on the A380 so much more choice than before. The seat foam is very comfortable, especially the head rest. There is not much storage space in the group of side seats. The tray table is in the armrest and requires a lot of pressure to pop out. Narrower than the old seats.

New B747-800 on both legs from/to IAD/FRA. A definite improvement over the older biz seats on the older B747s, A330s and A340s (and apparently the A380s). Mild herringbone design, fully reclining, seat length very generous and no one feels cramped. There is a difference between the seats in the "downstairs" middle row seats (definitly more privacy due to the separation between the seats) and the rest of the seats both downstairs and in the bubble upstairs cabin. Good service, food well presented and good choices. But LH needs to make a concerted effort in improving the movie selection in its IFE system. And also they should get rid of the Duval Leroy champagne, really not comparable to other carriers much better selections.

Flight from Johannesburg to Frankfurt was simply dreadful and Lufthansa should be utterly ashamed of their effort on this aircraft. Simply put (and as others have correctly stated), this is nothing more than glorified economy class with no privacy, slow service, poor food all topped off with hopelessly uncomfortable and unfathomable seating. This is my first, and the last time I shall choose to travel with the German national carrier.

The business class seats fitted into this aircraft are truly atrocious. The seat is not lie-flat but inclined and is extremely uncomfortable in all positions, but particularly so in the sleep position. At the end of the flight, you are have a backache. Good service, terrible seats.
