Lufthansa Introduces New First Class Cabin on A380

Lufthansa is unveiling its newly developed First Class with the delivery of its first Airbus A380. In the future, Lufthansa passengers can expect a First Class experience that sets new standards in terms of exclusivity and comfort.

The first impression upon entering the cabin is one of spaciousness, inviting passengers to relax and unwind. Superb-quality materials plus a clear, uniform design language echo the elegant features of the First Class Lounges and the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt on board the A380 and provide a harmonious travel experience.

The generously proportioned, open design and exclusive ambience with simple, distinct lines and subtle colors creates a light, appealing and inviting atmosphere. In order to adapt the new First Class concept to the actual needs of passengers, Lufthansa customers were substantially involved in its development. From the outset, their experiences and wishes were integrated into the design.

A quiet atmosphere is one of the most important needs of First Class customers. Sound-absorbing curtains partition off the rest of the cabin while special sound-insulating material in the aircraft’s outer skin and sound-absorbing carpeting block footstep noise and ensure the world’s quietest First Class cabin. The atmosphere soon lets passengers forget that they are traveling by air.

Another important factor in customer comfort is the newly developed seat, which combines ergonomics and comfort and which can be extended to create the “best bed in its class”. Measuring 6’9” feet in length and 2’7” feet in width, the comfortable bed offers plenty of room, enabling passengers to enjoy deep, relaxing sleep.

The air humidification system -- the first of its kind to be installed on a commercial aircraft -- and the lighting concept, which adjusts according to the time of day, also contribute toward passengers’ well-being on board.

Passengers traveling in Lufthansa’s successful Business Class on the A380 can enjoy the recognized benefits of a seat that converts into a comfortable. A newly developed seat has as well been installed in Economy Class, in cooperation with internationally renowned designers and ergonomics experts.
