Lufthansa’s B747-400s will be completely revamped from April to November of this year, ensuring a quieter and more exclusive atmosphere in the new first class. The B747-400 currently operates Lufthansa’s Cape Town – Frankfurt route.
Passengers in Business and Economy Class can also look forward to a completely refurbished cabin interior.
Lufthansa is entering new territory with its seating concept for the Boeing 747-400. The window seats will be converted into full-length, lie-flat beds with a sleeping surface measuring over two metres in length.
Sound-absorbing curtains and sound-deadening insulation beneath the carpet will ensure that passengers enjoy the necessary peace and quiet. Passengers will also be able to enjoy the individual in-flight entertainment programme on the new, 17-inch monitors. The first class standard also includes comfort items such as temperature-regulating blankets and pillows and the amenity kit from Porsche Design containing cosmetic articles from La mer.
The Business and economy class cabins on the Boeing 747-400 are also being refurbished. The entrance area will be revamped in the latest design, and new lavatories will be installed. In economy class, passengers can already put together their own entertainment programme on their individual monitors. Passengers can choose from a wide range of feature films in as many as eight language versions, popular TV series and fascinating documentaries. In addition to the on-screen service information about the flight, passengers have a choice of radio programmes and music channels, and there is also a special children’s programme. Furthermore, the new economy class seats provide five centimetres of additional personal space and legroom.
