Lufthansa Premium Economy Seats, Now On All Long-Range Flights

Lufthansa Premium Economy seats launch on all long-range flights, globally.

Lufthansa’s biggest 2016 launch so far is the addition of premium economy seats being available on all long-range flights globally. The premium economy seats will feature amenities including enlarged TV/monitor screens, better food options, and extra wide spaces between seats. More space, as any avid traveler knows, is the best part of the play to appeal to the frequent business traveler. This competitive move comes as no surprise as a variety of European air carriers are scrambling to compete for the well-heeled customer that aims to save money when possible.

Lufthansa increased the spacing between seats more than 50%, a which basically equates to cutting out the skinny guy next to you and loaded each seat with power outlets and USB connections so phones, computers, and whatever other technology passengers tend to love enough to bring with them never bleeds dry.
