A truly awful product, how a so called premium airline can call this business class is beyond me. The seat is so angled you just cannot fail to slide down it unless you wrap the seatbelt around your leg to stop you sliding. It is virtually impossible to watch TV in any position apart from upright. There is no priority boarding for business class and it is like a cattle market at the gate trying to get on the plane.

Lufthansa sell this cabin as Business but it is more like a British Airways premium economy. The seat is marketed as lie flat but it does not go flat and it is it not good for sleeping, you tend to slide down the angled position.

We travel LH as they have the angled lie flat seats out of CLT which are much nicer than US to FRA. Food excellent and both my wife and I slept well both ways. We did not experience the sliding down as others have. Felt very relaxed upon arrival.

From a first class cabin seat I expected more. I'm not very tall and I'm slender but seat (1A), though enough space for storage, to narrow and very uncomfortable for sleeping because it was way too hard. Seat comfort if upright (for departure and landing) very uncomfortable. No turndown service, just a pillow and a blanket. Got a second blanket though after asking. Entertainment system not state of the art (too small, too far away and the screen had lines all over).

Seoul - Munich. Everything fine, apart from the seat. Rather complicated to operate, just about worked it out after much trying. In full recline the seat slopes down, so of course you slide down. I fail to understand why airlines have spent so much money to come up with such a poor product, really sub- standard.

Boston-Frankfurt in upper deck First Class cabin. Last-generation lie-flat seats. Note that they are paired, so you will not enjoy the full privacy of a "suite." But factor in extraordinary service and intimate upper deck (space for only 16 passengers total) and the premium product is good.

The seats are the worst I have experienced as far as sleeping is concerned. The part about slipping down is so true. Whoever selected these seats should be fired for sure!

Had the luck to be upgraded to First from biz. The difference is striking and very big. The seats recline to fully flat, where biz class has the infamous sleeping up the hill seats. Staff attentive, food excellent. Wouldn't choose it myself, but the difference between First and Business is very big with Lufthansa. IFE was somewhat below standard though, and LH never has a very exciting offer of movies.

I found the inclined seat uncomfortable, very difficult to sleep in. Food was adequate, though not stellar. Movie selection was unimpressive. Overall, I'd say the Air Canada business class outbound was better - certainly the lie-flat pod was much better.

I'm an average sized woman and I was easily able to sleep very comfortably in the seat. Yes, it is not completely horizontal. I see what other reviewers mean though, and I think for a taller or larger person, it might be an issue.

FRA-YVR, what an uncomfortable flight. TV's are too far away (back of the seat in front), the food is just OK, and while the service is good, the sloped seats are terrible. When sitting, the seat is too short (I am a 5'9" woman with long legs and my butt was practically at the edge of the seat). Apparently you can adjust the seat, but I couldn't figure it out. The area around the seat was filthy. Good thing I was travelling with a companion and didn't mind jumping over his legs when I had to get out of the window seat. No privacy whatsoever. I was travelling for work - if I had to pay for the flight I would have been upset.

Munich to Los Angeles. Mediocre Business Class Seat; very difficult to sleep - lie flat seat, but at an angle (you slide down) and not enough width to get comfortable. The controls (Seat and Video) are a nightmare - the seat twists and contorts to move from one position to the next. The video control constantly aborts and requires pressing Play again and again, however, movie selections were current and good. You fly Lufthansa for schedules and on-time service, but not comfort.

CAN-FRA half decent. A lot better than the worn out 747 flight FRA to SIN a few days before. Even the seat was more comfortable. I gave up waiting for the meal to arrive (over 2 hours into the flight) and then the sloping seats - they might be flat, but are terrible. Arrive at FRA at 5am to wait 2 hours for another flight, to find the business class lounge isn't ready, apart from drinks and cold soup, nothing - and, in true Lufthansa style, no free WiFi in the lounge. Never again Lufthansa.

Upstairs deck of the Boeing 747 had 2x2 configuration for four rows, and first class section was packed. Food was outstanding. Pyjamas again were by van Laack and great. Didn't use the inflight entertainment too much, did experience some problem with the power outlet though. Can't say enough about the new First Class lounges in Frankfurt: excellent facilities, bathtubs, great food, attentive staff.

SFO-MUC. Seats were 1x2x1 and only two rows, I was in seat 2A. Cabin wasn't even full so it felt more relaxed than expected. Service great and food surprisingly good. Pyjamas by van Laack and pretty cool. Overall, I thought Lufthansa offered a great flight over the Atlantic.
