New Lufthansa Travel Experience In The A350-900

More passenger comfort in all classes

Beginning January 2017, Lufthansa will offer a new travel experience to its passengers traveling to and from Munich. The air carrier will station its first ten Airbus A350-900 aircraft at Munich and initial destinations are likely to be Delhi and Boston. The aircraft will provide seating for 293 passengers: 48 in Business, 21 in Premium Economy and 224 in Economy.

The A350-900 will provide Lufthansa passengers with a comfortable traveling experience. With its wider cabin, passengers have more room and a generous sense of space. A self-service section in Business Class provides more passenger comfort, plus new seats in Economy and larger monitors. Due to a special lighting concept, passengers will arrive at their destination feeling more rested. “We want our customers on board to feel comfortable and to arrive relaxed even after long flights. This is why we have improved passenger comfort even more in the A350-900”, said Thomas Winkelmann, CEO Lufthansa Hub Munich.

For the first time, Lufthansa will offer its customers a new service on the A350-900. Passengers in Business Class will be able to serve themselves refreshments between meals. In a specially designed self-service area, passengers can enjoy a variety of snacks. A refrigerator is also provided with cold drinks.

Passengers in Economy Class will be seated in ergonomically designed seats in a new color pattern. In the future, there will also be more room to stow personal items.

In all classes, passengers will benefit from the latest FlyNet technology and improved internet usage above the clouds. The larger screens provide the most advanced user interface.

Thanks to the special design of the A350-900, the cabin pressure during the flight is quite pleasant, leading to an even more relaxing time onboard. This is in comparison to an altitude of 1,800 meters, versus 2,400 meters of altitude with similar aircraft. The effect is also enhanced by an innovative lighting concept with a total of 12 light scenarios. These can be deployed in such a way that passengers can adapt their biorhythm better to local time at their destination.

The A350-900 is the world’s most modern and environmentally friendly long-haul aircraft. It consumes 25 percent less fuel and produces up to 50 percent less noise than similar aircraft types.
