Business class on narrow body jets within Europe is known for being lackluster, generally just consisting of economy seats with blocked middles and improved service. A few months ago there was an exciting announcement, as a Lufthansa Group carrier announced it would install more comfortable seats in business class on narrow body aircraft.
Ironically, it’s not full service airlines like Lufthansa or SWISS that are doing this, but instead, the group’s low cost carrier, Eurowings. I want to provide an update, as this product is now on sale, so we have a sense of what pricing will be like.
In the coming months, Eurowings will be installing “real” business class seats on select Airbus A320neo aircraft. The airline has chosen a reclining business class product from Italian manufacturer Geven, with an adjustable backrest, ergonomic design, and a lot more pitch than you’ll currently find.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
