A Lufthansa Airbus A330-300 with the registration D-AIKP took off May 22 under flight number LH 414 from Munich (MUC) to Washington Dulles, with the airline’s new First Class and new Business Class. The new Business Class was first unveiled to the public in March at ITB Berlin
On May 21, Lufthansa took delivery of a new Airbus A330-300, which is already equipped with the latest Lufthansa cabin as a standard feature. The aircraft with the registration D-AIKP is the first Lufthansa Airbus featuring the new Business Class on board. Each of the 48 seats is equipped with an integrated air-cushion system with which the seats can fold flat to create a bed 1.98 meters long. Business Class travelers get an individual entertainment program with the new, enlarged 15-inch monitors. Guests in all classes who wish to go online in flight may do so with FlyNet, the broad band Internet service.

At the front of the cabin is the new First Class, which already flies on the upper deck of Lufthansa’s Airbus A380. Eight guests can enjoy the premium offerings with luxurious easy chairs that transform into what Lufthansa boasts is the largest, most comfortable bed of its class. Travelers aboard Lufthansa’s Economy Class also enjoy “Eco seats” equipped with integrated monitors.
