Lufthansa's New Seats

Lufthansa's relatively new slim airline seats have proved to be popular, and for good reason.

According to Lufthansa's website, the new seats are lighter with each seat now weighing 10.87 kg, a 30 percent reduction in weight. As a result, Lufthansa is able to use less fuel and produce fewer emissions, which is better for the environment- and passengers.

The new seats provide "more knee room thanks to a slim backrest and less voluminous seat padding." The new seats allow Lufthansa to increase the number of seats on an aircraft by 8% without infringing at all on passengers' legroom. The seats are made of quality leather and perforated to maintain breathability.
