on Boeing 747-8 aircraft and roll the product out to its entire long-haul fleet through summer 2015. In
development since late 2012, the new seats, "depending on the aircraft type," are up to 1.2 inches wider and provide about "3.9 inches of more room on the side due to each seat having its own wide armrest and a center console between the seats." Measuring 38 inches from seat back to seat back, "passengers have approximately one-and-a-half times as much room as compared to Economy Class," according to Lufthansa. Premium Economy passengers will be allowed two checked bags and access to Lufthansa's airport lounges for an extra €25. Onboard, Premium Economy passengers will be "greeted with a welcome drink and will find their own water bottle, as well as a high-quality amenity kit with practical travel accessories at their seat," according to Lufthansa. "Meals are presented on menus commensurate with the new travel class and served on porcelain tableware." Inflight entertainment screens also will be slightly larger than in standard coach. Lufthansa indicated that pricing will "be closer to Economy Class than Business Class," noting that a flight segment on the North Atlantic will run on average an additional €600 on top of an economy ticket.
