While nothing has been formally announced, it sounds like Lufthansa intends to introduce proper business class seats on some of its narrow body aircraft, rather than just the typical economy seats with a blocked middle (thanks to Chris and Klaus for flagging this)…
Here’s what I find most interesting, though — Spohr is suggesting that the airline may soon introduce recliner business class seats on some of its Airbus A320-family aircraft. For context, all Lufthansa narrow body planes currently feature the typical intra-Europe cabins, where business class only consists of economy seats with blocked adjacent seats.
I imagine the intent with such a product would be to increasingly make Lufthansa’s narrow body planes more competitive on some medium haul routes, to destinations like Amman (AMM), Cairo (CAI), Istanbul (IST), Tel Aviv (TLV), etc.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
