Lufthansa Group has introduced a redesigned business class seat, now the standard across its entire Airbus A320 fleet.
Frequent flyers seeking an exclusive business class experience should note that, in line with most European carriers operating short- and medium-haul flights, the new seat is structurally identical to its economy counterpart. This approach remains consistent with industry practices for intra-European services.
Passengers flying with Lufthansa, SWISS, and Austrian Airlines on these routes will encounter this seating arrangement.
What distinguishes the business class seat? The primary difference is an enhanced recline of up to 26 degrees, compared to the economy seat's static 20-degree angle, providing added relaxation for premium travelers.
Additionally, Lufthansa Group continues its practice of leaving the center seat unoccupied in business class rows, ensuring greater privacy and personal space for guests.
The seat design boasts advanced ergonomic support and high-quality, contoured upholstery, optimizing comfort for both short- and medium-haul journeys. The ultra-slim backrest increases perceived legroom and maximizes cabin space.
While official seat width and pitch remain undisclosed, our hands-on review found the space competitive within the European market segment.
Lufthansa Group prioritized lightweight construction and simplified maintenance during development, aligning with sustainability goals. After extensive passenger trials and rigorous quality vetting, Italian seat manufacturer Geven was selected to deliver the finished product.
