Eurowings to get Lufthansa business class seats from 2018
By David Flynn, December 12 2017
Lufthansa's low-cost Eurowings airline will make a first of chasing premium travellers with the rollout of business class on its Airbus A330 jets from 2018.
Just don't expect anything too fancy: Eurowings will adopt the same business class seats as its parent, shown below.
(Lufthansa, meanwhile, has already revealed its next-gen business class design, due to fly from 2020 on its new Boeing 777X fleet.)
The redressed version of Lufthansa's international business class seat will be sold as Eurowings BIZclass, replacing the current 'Best' class cabin (below) which is more akin to premium economy.
Eurowings' decision comes as it takes over some of the international routes of now-shuttered rival Airberlin, including from Dusseldorf to New York and Miami – flights on which a premium economy recliner won't cut it for the business traveller.
Instead, passengers at the pointy end of Eurowings' Airbus A330s will now enjoy a wider and better appointed seat which converts to a fully lie-flat bed for those overnight legs.

Should we even get started on British Airways business seats or has that topic well and truly reached its full exhaustion?

BA’s seats are a disgrace.. and @elchriss0 agree 100% it shows Lufthansa are woefully outgunned in this department. Bring on 2020 and their B777-9

Totally agree. Don't forget that Eurowings are not part of Star Alliance so there will be no Star Gold recognition on the Eurowings services. The Euro J product may be similar to LH J, but without the other benefits to match. I think LH don't want to cannibalize their Frankfurt and Munich hubs, so even though the seat might be common, not much else will be.
