Back in March Lufthansa formally unveiled the details of their new business class product, which was long overdue. While it was supposed to premier on the 748 that Lufthansa is in the process of taking delivery of, they’ve already outfitted one of their Airbus 330s with the new business class product. While it’s by no means a comprehensive trip report, here’s the first video I’ve seen of the new business class seats in action:

The seats seem loud, though it actually looks quite a bit better than I had expected…

How does this look any less comfortable than the CO business first seats people seem to love so much. The whole issue of direct isle access is very common with many airlines. Deal with it, this is business class not first! There is already a trip report on the German travel forum where the author denounced a lot of the claims made by people who haven't flown it yet. For those who can read german or you can always use a translator: http://www.vielfliegertreff.de/lufthansa/39190-i-did-lufthansa-neue-business-im-flugalltag.html . Looks good and decent. Still miles ahead of the current product.

I don't like this design at all. The window seat passenger will have to climb over the aisle seat. That is very circa early 2000s design. I like the NH, LX or the AC, US, CX designs much better.

The seats seem to make a lot of noise when repositioning if you watch the original video. Can someone confirm? The A333 parallel // window seat arrangement seems preferable to the B748 window /\ arrangement with narrow "play footsies" foot rest, while the middle /\ seats on the B748 are wider apart and seem the best option on that plane.

for a brand new product I expected something better and more competitive with the best seats flying.
