1 Star  Legroom space

As for the seats I do not know how the designers worked that out. As soon as the person in front of me reclines their seat I just needed to straighten my legs out as there was no space at all and I had to fold my laptop as I could not fit it any more. As I have a gold card with Lufthansa I would prefer to travel with them but nowadays I pick any airline company except Lufthansa - for me I can only recommend Lufthansa business class - never economy.

1 Star  Legroom space

I thought that my home trip would be better on an A340 as these are quite newer than the old 747s that LH fly. Maybe ½" more legroom than on the 747 and still no individual screens. The 3-4 screens were flatscreens but not very big and on the forward wall - I was glad that I didn't have plans to watch a movie. LH is far, far behind on the comfortable travel curve.

Seat pitch must be industry worst. Entertainment is a joke - not only no individual screens, but the TVs under the ceiling were the old "big box" ones and half had colour defects.

Awful (not existent) leg room. My knees bumped against the back of the seat opposite of me for all the 10 hours from FRA to SFO. When the pax in front reclined his seat (most of the 10 hours), it was impossible to even read a book, let alone get any work done on a laptop.

I kinda like the legroom but I think MAS is still more spacious. If you sit longer, then it's becoming really uncomfortable.

The legroom is a little tight, but not too bad - this is economy class. The headrests were quite nice and helped to make sleeping a little more possible. The width of the seat and its overall comfort were better than average.

1 Star  Legroom space

Felt like I was flying charter - but it was LAX-FRA ! The moment the pax in front of me reclined their seat, I was eating the seat back cushion. Impossible to access the try table if the front pax is reclined at all - worst seat experience in my life and no PTV and impossibly small bulkhead mounted 14" TV's.

Lufthansa is well behind: no legroom, no PTVs, very old Audio entertainment and some overhead TVs, which could not been seen from my seat.

2 Star  Legroom space

I had a bulkhead seat. That was great as it had plenty of space directly in front of me but bad for legspace due to the bulkhead wall which meant I couldn't fully extend my legs. I could not have slept in this seat. It also had a poor view of the entertainment screen - Lufthansa economy doesn't usually have individual screens.

For a person of average size, the Lufthansa economy seat is good. The headrests are particularly good.

Even though the seats are equipped with 3 levels of recline, there is insufficient space between seats to allow a full recline without infringing on other passenger's space. My husband and I just endured a 9 hour torture flight from Frankfurt with the two passengers in front "lying in our laps". The passengers became irate and verbally abusive when we moved or in anyway interfered with their right to fully recline. Since I am only 61 inches tall, I do not recline my seat very far, as it places strain on the lower back; therefore, most times I am upright and when the seat in front is fully reclined, I can't move without jostling the seat in front. My husband and I were basically held hostage in our seats because of the insolent passengers in front who insisted on maximum reclining position. When they could not get a full recline because my knees were against the seat back, they initiated games designed to ensure that their seat backs banged against my knees with maximum force. Our slightest movement infuriated them and precipitated not only verbal retaliation, but more thrusting of the seat. The female in front actually put her foot on the side wall behind the seat in front of her and forcefully slammed the seat back into me. This happened relentlessly over the entire flight.  A new spacing standard needs to be implemented that takes into account the infringement of my space when the person in front is in maximum recline position.
