Lufthansa Airbus A380 First Class - 2011
Lufthansa Airbus A380 First Class - 2011
Lufthansa's seven Airbus A380s are configured for 8 First Class, 48 Business Class, and 420 economy seats, a 59% increase over the Boeing 747. Every airline that introduces an Airbus A380 into service thus far has used the aircraft as a platform to innovate and one-up its competition, especially in the premium cabins: witness Emirate Airlines's showers and Singapore Airlines's private First Class Suites. Lufthansa, renowned for its efficiency, if not service and cabin innovation, used its Airbus A380 to remind the world why it the German carrier is considered world class. The innovative German Airbus A380 features include a First Class only boarding lounge (connected via its own jetway) in Frankfurt, the first airliner in the world with a humidified cabin of 25% which reduces the affects of jet lag and fatigue (beating the Boeing 787 Dreamliner to the punch), special side-wall and cabin sound insulation making it the quietest First Class cabin in the world, Luxurious First Class lavatories twice the size of typical lavs with washing and changing facilities separate from the washrooms, a new concept in First Class called "Privacy On Demand" with a flexible privacy screen with which first class passengers can determine the amount of privacy they desire, and a new on-demand, and a new interactive IFE in all classes complete with first-to-Lufthansa external cameras. Even economy class boats a new slimmer seat which increases seat pitch by an additional 0'5" feet giving them more legroom at knee level.
