Lufthansa

Beyond uncomfortable - so cramped. I am only 5'4" and thin but couldn't cross my legs recline or even reach down to pick up my fork when I dropped it on the floor. The seat in front of me was maybe 8-10 inches from my face. Add to this a 2 hour delay on the plane after boarded but before take off- first mechanical then weather then rerouting.

Getting out of the seat is a real pain as the armrest is immovable by the aisle seats. Viewing the IFE screen is troublesome if the person in front of you reclines - even if you tilt the screen. Didn't sleep much during the flight.

The most uncomfortable aircraft that I have ever experienced and I fly frequently. Almost impossible to get in and out of if you have a window seat. Extremely uncomfortable semi-reclining position. Could not even sit up during meals. I am a 5'5" tall woman of average weight and I felt claustrophobic because of extremely tightly packed seats. A total nightmare. I spent most of the trip in the galleywith other miserable passengers.

Apart from the fact that it took absolutely ages to get out of the aircraft after our 12+ Munich-San Francisco flight sitting at the very back of the aircraft had a lot of advantages. Basically the seats were very nice and there was no issue moving in and out. As in every aircraft in economy class - if you are very tall you WILL get problems. If you are of average European size you will be ok on this aircraft. The good thing was that although seats reclines fairly much you could still move and you could use your tray table if the seat in front was reclined.

The A330-300 was already equipped with the new Economy seats. They look on the first glimpse like the old ones but there is less seat cushioning. The seat pitch was reduced from 32 inch to 31 inch. The recline of the seat is not even worth to mention it. In row 29K there are two equipment boxes available (one left and one right) reducing the space for the feet to 30cm.

The latest generation of seats used by Lufthansa on all European routes are the best I have ever experienced. The legroom is excellent and this is the most important aspect as the seat width or the access in and out are the same on all airbus a321 in the world. You can hardly expect more from a short haul seat!

New lightweight seats were brought in to reduce fuel consumption but it is an ergonomically insufficient seat. It's padding was lacking (despite that I'm slightly below average weight) and the legroom was a little too tight (despite being average height). There was also very little under-seat storage. The seats were fine for short-haul flights in Europe but very hard on the rear and spine for the transatlantic flight.

Seats were uncomfortable with little padding over the new plastic seats and no lumbar support to speak of. The recline of the seat in front meant it was impossible to get out from your seat without hanging on to the seat in front at an awkward angle. Leg room was impacted by a metal box (entertainment system? so that your right leg could not be stretched out. An exceedingly uncomfortable long haul flight.

Seats are too crowded and leg room is non existent. I am 1.88m which isn't unusually tall and knees are constantly in the tray of seat in front. Can't recline all the way because it annoys the person behind. I tolerate this on domestic flights but long internationals should be different. Air Canada has more room so I hate it when I get a Lufthansa flight. It has been this way for years. I avoid Lufthansa as much as possible for this reason.

BUD-HAM-GVA. Seats are probably alright for medium to short pax weighing less than 60kg. Seats so narrow and close to the window and aisle seat as to be extremely uncomfortable and almost unusable. Fortunately there were a few spare seats on our flight so my wife and I could use 2 different aisle seats. Even so the miniature armrest is (literally) a pain and fortunately can be placed vertically except for t/o and landing. Service food and beverages were superior to the average SWISS flight but the LH CR900 would be better suited to a 1x2 seating arrangement.
