As we get closer to the introduction of the 777X to the Lufthansa fleet, rumors are starting to fly around regarding what the cabin might look like, especially Business Class.
Buzz has been building, and it looks as though a familiar name will be behind the new Lufthansa seat.
Germany’s Recaro, which has been used by Lufthansa on a regular basis, appears to be the manufacturer of the new seat. Specifically, it looks as though Recaro’s CL6710 model will be adapted to fit Lufthansa’s needs. This new seat will debut in 2018, and could likely be what is installed on Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, and Brussels aircraft. Lufthansa Group made the announcement a while back that identical next generation Business Class seats will be installed on long-haul aircraft group wide.
Recaro advertises the seat as the next generation in Business Class comfort, providing passengers increased comfort and amenities as compared to current iterations of Business Class seats. One major feature will be the ability for a passenger to use their smart phone to control all aspects of the seat. Hopefully, an electronics ban at that point won’t include even the modest cell phone!
Here are a few images as provided by Recaro showing off the new seat. The seat will actually debut with TAP at some point next year.
I’m excited about the prospect that the 777x might be a 1 – 2 – 1 layout in Business Class (at least based on this seat design), which would be fantastic!

Lufthansa has updated their timetable today to reflect an increase in service to Cancun.
For the Winter 2017/2018 season, Lufthansa will fly between Frankfurt and Cancun 3 times a week. Previously (Winter 16/17), the route was flown only 2 times a week. This schedule change will be in effect between October 31 and April 7.
Flight numbers and departure times remain the same.

Lufthansa has updated their Winter timetable for 2018 to reflect that the A350’s next destination will be Seoul, South Korea.
But before you get too excited, it appears (based on AirlineRoute.net) that it will only fly from Munich to Seoul twice. Once on February 4, and then again on February 25, returning to MUC on February 5 and 26.
This schedule is not an accident, but reflects the beginning and ending of the Winter Olympics that will be hosted by South Korea next year. No doubt that LH will use the A350 to bring German Olympians and their fans to the event and then take them home afterwards.
The flights will operate as LH718 departing MUC at 4:10p, and the return flight will operate as LH719 departing Seoul the next day at 12:30p.
