Lufthansa is upgrading its seats and in-flight service on short and medium-haul flights.
It is installing 32,000 new ergonomically-shaped seats on more than 180 aircraft in its short and medium-haul fleet in a year, giving passengers more than four centimetres extra legroom.
“The slimmer seats will also enable us to increase the seating capacity of our short and medium-haul fleet and thus ensure that we remain competitive in future,” said Thierry Antinori, member of the Lufthansa German Airlines Board,
As part of the upgrade, the airline is re-introducing snacks such as muesli bars and chocolate, even on domestic routes, for Economy Class passengers.
On cross-border European services with a flight time of more than two hours, they will be offered a hot meal.
In future, on its European routes, Lufthansa will also cooperate with renowned chefs. The first one to create menus as part of Lufthansa’s new in-flight service is the German star-rated chef Heiko Antoniewicz.
