Lufthansa 747 business class review highlights seating limitations

A review of Lufthansa’s Boeing 747 business class experience highlights both the benefits and drawbacks of flying on the iconic double-decker aircraft. While the flat-bed seats are advantageous for transatlantic travel, particularly for families, the configuration presents several challenges.

Key issues noted include limited seat storage and the necessity of carrying bags up the internal stairs to reach the upper deck. The seating layout follows an older 2-2-2 configuration, meaning window seats lack direct aisle access. While this layout can be beneficial for families traveling together, it may cause discomfort when seated next to strangers. The review notes that Lufthansa’s newer Allegris business class is not widely available on all routes, with many flights still utilizing this older seating style.
