Does Lufthansa have flat beds?

Relax before your flight in the Lufthansa Business Lounges and then enjoy the first-rate service on board. The new Lufthansa Business Class seat can be converted into a fully flat bed that is almost two metres long – just the thing for relaxing during a long flight.



Yes, Lufthansa has flat beds in its Business and First Class cabins on all long-haul international flights (e.g., flights using the Airbus A350, Boeing 747-8, and Boeing 787-9). However, the airline is currently in the middle of a massive "Allegris" cabin refresh because its older Business Class configuration (often in a 2-2-2 layout) was criticized for lacking direct aisle access for every seat. The new "Allegris" Business Class features seven different seat types, all of which are true lie-flat beds, with some offering extra-long beds for taller passengers or private "suites" with high walls. In Lufthansa First Class, the experience is even more luxurious, featuring a bed that is nearly 6 feet 7 inches (2 meters) long, accompanied by a thick mattress, temperature-regulating duvets, and high-quality pillows. While the "Premium Economy" cabin only offers a deep recline rather than a flat bed, Lufthansa’s "Sleeper's Row" in standard Economy (which can be booked for a fee on some routes) allows passengers to use a row of three or four seats with a mattress to create a "bed-like" experience. For travelers in 2026, the specific "flat bed" experience on Lufthansa will depend on whether your aircraft has been upgraded to the newer Allegris interiors.
