In the long list of features of noticeable absence were suites in first class, this decision to opt for a traditional open seat plan was made after close consultation its First Class passengers; however Lufthansa has addressed the privacy debate by implementing adjustable privacy screens which raised and lowered depending on the level of privacy the passenger wanted.
So let’s delve more deeply into the features in the Lufthansa A380 First Class Cabin:
First Class passengers enter the Lufthansa A380 directly from the First Class lounge and into upper deck cabin which features 8 first class seats/lie-flat beds configured in a 1-2-1 seating arrangement.
One of the stand-out features is the air humidification system which will raise the air humidity in the cabin from the current average of 5% up to 15 to 25%, which will go a long way to making good at the other end.

Can’t believe Lufthanza’s new A380s only offer Lie Flat (read: doesn’t go below 15 degrees) seats and not flat bed seats in first and business class. What were they thinking?
