"Seat 45B is a perfect seat"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Seat 45B is the first lane where you have only 2 instead of 3 seats at the windows. Left to the seat there is plenty of Storage Space. A perfect seat.

"seats on A350-900 are horrible"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | The seats on this A350-900 are horrible. They are the smallest airplane seats I have ever been squeezed into (I am 5'9" and 145 pounds so neither super tall nor super wide). There was no room for both feet and bag, so the bag had to go in the overhead bin. The seats were so narrow it was not possible to do anything on the tray. The seat in front was so close that one could not even bend forward to pick up anything off the floor. The heat was high in the plane, and there were no individual air vents that one can open or close. My husband felt so ill from the heat and oppressive atmosphere that he tried to stand up and almost fainted. After that they lowered the temperature in the cabin to cooler levels. They also took him to the back of the plane where the stewardesses are seated and it is cooler back there. The breakfast food was budget (a small muffin and tiny cup of fruit salad). The plane arrived close to on time - about 20 mins late due to lack of wind over the Atlantic. For the good: the staff on plane were very nice, and the dinner was OK. Other than the friendly staff, you might as well be flying the cheapest charter you know. Do not fly economy on this airline unless you are a small adult/child or are flat broke (although my seat 28B cost me $1500, so it was not a cheap ticket!)

"less than 29" seat pitch"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | I flew from Cologne to Munich in an A320 neo on 10th March 2019. The seat I was given was 31C; this was very cramped, with far less legroom than I've experienced in some 20 years of flying with LH. It seems that LH are cramming people into certain rows of the A320 neo with less than 29" seat pitch. They are squeezing 180 seats into an aircraft which in its non-neo variant has 168. My advice to travellers is to avoid being allocated a seat in rows 31 or 32 of the A320 neo - in its quest to squeeze as many passengers as possible in the A320, LH has made travelling in this aircraft vastly less comfortable than hitherto.

"I had pretty big legroom"

(Greece)

Trip Verified | Since I am 185cms tall, I was afraid I would not have sufficient legroom but I had pretty big legroom with my backpack put under the seat in front of me. I recommend Lufthansa at least for the A321 if you are worried about legroom.

"screen are in armrests"

(France)

Trip Verified | I was flying with my girlfriend on the A350-900. She was on seat 16D and I was on 16E we have plenty of space for legs but screen are in armrests so we can't remove it to be a bit more confortable. These seats are just behind the premium Economy Class. If you travel in couple you may prefer seat 16-E and 16-F cause the middle armseats is removable.

"seats are hard and rather narrow"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Couldn't book business, as it was a last minute purchase, so had to fly Premium Economy. Definitely better than regular Economy, but still pretty cramped, the seat is very hard and the new A350 is extremely noisy. Leg rest makes things tolerable, but incline isn't good, and the seats are hard and rather narrow. Service is great as usual, and entertainment is very good. Still not a fan of their new aircraft, that Lufthansa switched to from A330 on YVR - MUC route. I understand that configuration is chosen by an airline, and Lufthansa is far from worst ones out there, yet the A350 is not a comfortable aircraft to fly on.

"legroom was surprisingly tight"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Recently flew Manchester to Singapore with a short layover in Munich. German efficiency shone through and I was quite taken aback by the warmth and friendliness of the crew. Getting emailed the baggage tags after check in was a nice touch. Flew on a brand new A350 on the second sector - legroom was surprisingly tight and the sound of the entertainment via the provided ear phones was barely audible and had to watch the films with subtitles. It was disappointing that the aircraft map system was not working. Finally the food; while it was perfectly edible, it was not as impressive as the economy offering by the Middle Eastern airlines. But overall, Lufthansa surprised me by being as good as they were.

"I was very satisfied"

(Germany)

Not Verified | I was sitting in the upper deck of the A388 that has 5 rows of Economy class in the back section of the deck. Seat 95K is an emergency exit seat at the window. It is missing one, however. However, the legroom is spacious as there is a bulkhead in front of the seat. The width is slightly reduced and the table in the armrest. The great legroom, as well as the few seats in the section, made it very comfortable to fly, even in coach. The seat could be reclined sufficiently to rest. There is like a small extra table on the right where you can put small items inflight (such as a cup or your headphones). I was very satisfied.

"just paying for a bigger seat"

(Luxembourg)

Trip Verified | Very comfortable flight in premium economy. Sear number 14A. Beware this window seat has only a partial window when the sear is reclined but quite ok for night flight. I slept well in the seat. Dinner was same as eco class, a bit fancier maybe. TV entertainment was decent but i felt the music selection was not really what i would have hoped for. Premium eco has no priority boarding or lounge access so you are just paying for a bigger seat. Definitely closer to economy class than business. The seat recline is sufficient for sleeping..and i fell asleep and woke up due to some turbulence over india..then fell asleep again and woke up over Austria. I would recommend bringing an extra cushion as LH supply only 1. Also its hard to sleep with the LH economy earphones (too big) so airpods would be better for relaxing while listening to music or tv. Water bottle was very welcome as was the preflight orange and mango juice.

"surprisingly enough leg room"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Brand new cabin on this A330. I was seated at 34K (window seat). Typical economy class seat, with surprisingly enough leg room. Entertainment was great, service impeccable and food much better than I expect in economy. One of the best long haul flights I've been in economy.
