Flight Muenchen - Dubai on A330-300 with new Business Class seats. Great new full flat seats, large TV
Screen, enough privacy space (especially when travelling with your partner). Seats are comfortable , full
flat sleeping also very comfortable. Entertainment choice was good. Service was ok, a smile here and there
from the cabin crew would be nice.

Really disappointed in business class. Rome to Frankfurt we were really looking forward to flying on the
A380. What a let down. Their lie flat seats were the pits. Kept feeling like you were sliding off. The
screen was awful and there was no storage and no privacy. As for the food and service they both were
subpar. My husband wanted a drink when we got on and they didn't serve anything but champagne which he
hates. Changing aircraft in Frankfurt was a hassle. You disembark on the runway and a bus takes you to the
gates. We only had an hour and were rushing to make our connection. Also had to go through customs again.

The new first class seat of Lufthansa is a real great product. It is very comfortable to sit in, and
adjustable to any position you possibly would like. Unfortunately, there are still some minor drawbacks:
the monitor could be bigger... due to the distance, the smaller but nearer business class monitor gives you
a better viewing experience than the actual first class monitor. The ottoman in front of each seat is just
a storage box. The ottoman on Lufthansa can not be used as a seat (there is a "no seat" sign). So there is
no possibility for two passengers to sit opposite each other or to join a meal together. Also the sleep
comfort could be better.

FRA-ORD flight, seat 2C. The front of the cabin is more spacious and comfortable than the back. Service was
good, but the food and seat mediocre. As many other reviewers noted, you keep sliding down while sleeping.

First Class BKK-KUL, just over 2 hours, but worth it for the luxury of the entire Upper Deck all to myself.
On the Upper Deck one gets a made up bed by the window, and an almost fully reclining seat next to it - so
there's an enormous amount of space.

FRA-EZE. The old 747-400 has been given a complete new First Class on most LH aircraft last year. Just 8
places anymore in first on the upper deck, but all with a very comfortable wide seat PLUS a real bed next
to it. Very comfortable, bed a bid hard in my view, but well, this might be felt different by other people.
Service on a high level but in no way 'overdone'. The washing rooms could be a bit more spacious and some
more privacy are the only things I would really change, if it would be up to me to decide. But overall a
very, very good experience.

Tokyo to Frankfurt - a terrible seat in a dull cabin. Luckily, this was the day flight back to Europe, but
even a nap on the sliding seat was impossible. The rest: Nothing to write home about. From Frankfurt to
Tokyo I had taken the ANA flight on a 777 and found a great business class with a fully flat bed, lots of
space and privacy. In comparison to Lufthansa, ANA felt like first class.

We flew Vancouver-Munich First class on an A330, and returned Frankfurt-YVR on an older A340. The seats
were spectacular - way better than British Airways First. Full flat, lots of leg room (85 inch pitch),
comfortable mattress when set up as a bed. The cabin was half-empty on both flights, so we got both a
'living room', and 'bedroom' set up. Food was excellent, wine list the same- though they had a very cheap
J. Riesling nestled among the otherwise high end offerings. Service was attentive without being cloying -
the attendants seemed to be able to anticipate needs/desires just as one was thinking about something.
Almost identical layout in the A330 and 340, except that the tv screen in the 340 was a foldaway, smaller
than the fixed ones on the 330, and a bit fussy to set up. However, the flight attendants did it for us. I
would recommend this product. Be sure to ask directions for the MAIN first class lounge in Frankfurt, which
has all the services, as opposed to the concourse lounge, which is by comparison, meagre, but provides
direct access to the plane.

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 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

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.

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.

Business Class seats in the latest generation of A340 are not lie-flat but give the opportunity to sleep a bit,
especially on the overnight flight back. Crew very attentive, was lucky to have to same crew on both flights which made
them even more friendly and helpful. Food was good as was the IFE. Look forward to the full-flat seats in the future.

The business class seat is a bad joke. It is uncomfortable in almost every position. So called flat is a 20 degree slope.
IFE was a waste of time. We were in last business class row (second cabin) and it was slow. However a step up from
economy. Able to sleep 4 hours Frankfurt to YVR. Not sure if it's worth paying for.

Lufthansa has taken the second level of the A380 and created Economy class with Business class pricing. Cramping a 2-2-2
configuration of these old uncomfortable, slanted seats that are the worst in the industry for business class is a
disgrace! Business class is now gigantic (close to 100 people) and the aisles narrow so that the staff cannot give proper
individualized service as there is just too much ground to cover. There are not enough toilets for this size of
compartment as well!

Although pretty old style business class found on my flight from Frankfurt to Singapore, still okay to find a good sleep.

Recent trip to Dubai from Frankfurt. Not the worst business service but far from ideal. The lounge in Frankfurt is a
shocking disgrace. Good job I don't drink gin as there isn't any! If you are planing a holiday and using your hard
earned money to treat yourself don't bother.

I should have read the reviews before booking my flight! I understood that LH had made some changes to their Business
Class on the A380 - according to their marketing blurb and I was keen to try them out for myself. What a joke - really,
they shouldn't have even bothered! It is beyond belief why they haven't changed this really old uncomfortable product
which has zero privacy, no space to put any work or business items anywhere, lacks a decent monitor for entertainment and
has a really poor selection of movies to boot. My journey was uneventful, but also not great value for money, no ipod
connector, no laptop space, no book or newspaper space, in fact the only space is the minute magazine rack which is full
of LH marketing mags. The food was competent if not interesting, and the service (I was to the rear of the enormous Biz
section) was lacklustre and perhaps efficient. Certainly it could not be said it was warm, interested or courteous.

This seat should be compared to Economy Seats. It is of course much better than those, and the seat is not bad for
sitting in. It was however very uncomfortable to sleep in. I found it even less comfortable than the UA (domestic) First
class seat on my connecting flights. There are a lot of controls that do not really make the seat any better, but rather
add confusion. The entertainment system in the seat is not bad, but the system is awkwardly slow. There is little
privacy from your neighbor.

DFW to FRA return. One of the worst business class seats we've ridden in. Broken controls, limited functionality,
entertainment system would not work. Flight attendant's answer? I can move you to coach.

I cannot believe this seat is so bad. This chair is a torture device whether you are sleeping or just sitting. Even the
passenger next to me was complaining about it giving him a bad back too. The seat is hard, sloping and the controls are
terrible. The IFE is OK but the screen feels like it is down by your feet and not very comfortable to watch, from any
position. Because there are so many Business Class seats upstairs the service is really slow. If you are not at the front
then forget good service. I have experienced better economy class service than this. On the plus side, storage is very
good and the croissants are the best I have tasted on any airline. Unfortunately, I don't book airline seats based on
pastry quality!

Business class below its peers. Angled seats means slipping seats and therefore difficulty to sleep. Planes are old, and
food is average. Lounge in Frankfurt is crowded with poor shower facilities. The only pro is the professionalism of the
crew, but if cabin quality and sleep is what matters, look for another carrier.

New first class seats with a recliner and a bed. 1-1 configuration. The TV screen is big, inflight entertainment was
great and BOSE headphones helped to reduce the noise. Privacy is limited as there is no screen or anything to protect the
view. Only at the side of the bed there is a small screen. Service was friendly and very personal.

Astonishing that Lufthansa has installed these outmoded seats in their brand new planes. They are narrow, there is little
privacy, no useful storage space within reach while seated, and they don't recline fully. These seats are closer to
premium economy than business class.

A380 business class seat is a joke. Narrow, uncomfortable, unable to fully recline. The miriad controls only made the
seat worse with each touch of a button. Never again!

We were supposed to fly in an A340-600 and experienced an aircraft change. Seats were horrible, really uncomfortable.
Food subpar and boarding a disaster. When you buy a full fare business ticket you expect to board before economy and to
not stand for 30 minutes while they put you in a queue. Screaming baby in mother's lap behind me seemed to have been
upgraded. I will never spend the money on a business ticket on LH again. When I wrote and complained I got a form letter
back that said nothing.

The seats are just terrible for today's business class standards, more like premium economy comfort in 5 star airlines.
No full flat seats, small tv screens, terrible food selection and rushed service. Do not fly Lufthansa business unless
you have to.

What a disappointment!. FRA-JNB-FRA and Lufthansa has not installed flat beds in business class. It is a case of "slip
sliding" down the seat. Headrest keeps slipping down as well and whoever thought up the wonderful idea of inserting the
personal reading lamp in the winglet of the headrest. Lufthansa is a premium airline and to invest in the A380 the way it
has done and not include state of the art seating is questionable business sense, especially when it is understood that
the seating will be upgraded in the next couple of years.

The Lufthansa Business Class Seat is way below standard and one of the worst among full service carriers. While pitch and
sitting comfort is decent for normal weight people, sleep comfort is very poor. The seat does not lay horizontal but
stays significantly angled when in fully reclined position. The cushioning is too hard for sleeping on the side. Privacy
is poor and seat width is just sufficient for normal weighted persons but below industry standard. I fly transcontinental
8-15 times a year out of Germany, and I prefer other airlines when flying overnight just because of the poor sleeping
comfort of the Lufthansa Business Class Seat.

Manchester to Orlando via Frankfurt. Used BMI miles for this trip and wish I'd known before I booked what a poor rating
Lufthansa business gets. On the plane we were in seats 3H and 3K where there was no storage apart from a magazine rack on
the floor. As for the seat I felt like I spent most of the ten hour journey trying to find a comfortable sitting
position. IFE was no distraction as it was limited and awkward to use. The service was good as was food but they didn't
compensate for that awful seat.

Unfortunately it's simply impossible to sleep on Lufthansa business class seats. They are very uncomfortable, and often
need cleaning. On my last flight the odor of the seat was so bad I had to put the blanket on the seat and then sleep
without one. What was even more amazing that they had no spare blankets either. Compared to other airlines including
Swiss, they are far behind. Maybe a few Lufthansa staff should try sleeping on the planes to see why customers are
choosing other airlines.

My recent journey from Brussels to Tokyo, in business class, was quite disappointing. The return leg, my first time on an
A380, highlighted the painful problems with Lufthansa business class. Firstly, the seats are simply not up to standard.
Too cramped, painful to sit in, almost impossible to sleep on, and they offer virtually no privacy at all. Secondly, the
in-flight service is very rushed, touching on rude. The catering is very mediocre, only very mildly above economy class.
Lastly, I won't even comment on the business class lounges that I visited in Munich and Frankfurt, they were a disgrace.

Amman to Frankfurt was just European business class and poor by the standards of say British Airways. It was an
overnight flight and frankly it's disgraceful that they think they can get away with this type of seating. I had
engagements following my flight and the idea was to get some sleep. Nearly 5 hours on a plane necessitates a degree of
comfort (I had flown out on BMI which, while not fully reclining, offered big armchair type seats ideal for a day
flight).

In the world of lie flat seats at a time when all others are making their seats wider and truly flat- why in the world
would Lufthansa put on their new flagship aircraft such mediocre seats in business class? It really is a shame that
they could charge so much and give so little.

MEX-FRA on the newly configured upper-deck with recliner and bed. Amazing product that Lufthansa
has developed. Service and food was good, not excellent but the new bed is comfortable. It gets dry and hot on the upper
deck so drink plenty of water.
