Lufthansa Introduces “Sleeper’s Row” At Attractive Price

Matthew Klint Posted onNovember 28, 2020November 28, 2020 8 Comments

Lufthansa Sleeper's Row

This is probably the ideal time to fly longhaul international in economy class in terms of comfort. With passengers in short supply, your ability to stretch out is better than ever. Seeking to capitalize on this, Lufthansa has introduced “Sleeper’s Row” within economy class to allow you to reserve an entire row of seats for yourself on a lightly-filled flight.

Lufthansa Trials “Sleeper’s Row” Service – Lie-Flat Bed In Economy Class

For now, Lufthansa is trialing its Sleeper’s Row service on one route, between Frankfurt-São Paulo (LH 506/507). The trial will run through at least the middle of December. These extra seats can be purchased only at the airport during check-in or at the gate and are priced at a flat rate of EUR 220 / USD 260.

Included in the package:

  • 3 or 4 adjacent seats in a row
  • Lufthansa Business Class kit containing pillows, blanket and topper
  • Priority boarding with Business Class passengers

Lufthansa operates a Boeing 747-8 to Sao Paulo, with 3-4-3 seating in economy class. Both sections of three and section of four will be used for the Sleeper’s Row.

How many rows offered per flight will depend both upon flight loads and upon passenger interest. Lufthansa notes:

The number of Sleeper’s Rows offered  is limited per flight and will be occupied by the sequence of passengers that show interest to our ground staff.

The concept is not unique: Air New Zealand introduced it many years ago with its “Sky Couch” product, which goes a step further in that the cushions fold up to create an even wider bed.

Lufthansa is very clear not to emphasize the social distancing aspect of Sleeper’s Row. To do so would undermine the argument is has consistently made that the aircraft is safe even when filled to capacity.

CONCLUSION

With loads so light, chances are you can still score a row to yourself even without paying the extra $260. That said, that’s not a bad price at all for a 12-hour flight.

Would you pay extra to ensure a whole row of seats to yourself?

    This is a gimmick. Flights are empty these days. You don’t need to pay $200+ for a whole row. I hope nobody falls for this!

      A friend of mine is flying to GRU from the US today and, judging from the seat map, the load is quite high. J is about 70% full and Y is about 90% full.

    Have you considered flying to Sao Paolo and then to Germany to review the product?

        It was a serious question. In normal times, you probably would.

    I like that is it an airport option. So that you can have a sense of how full the flight is, before paying for the seat blocking. The downside is that the flight might be so full that they will not sell you the row and you have no option to change flights.

    I’d pay that, especially on Lufthansa, where their business class is a better daytime than sleeping product.

    It is really a good idea introducing sleeper row at minimum cost compared to business class. Though this was introduced long ago in Air Newsland,still there is a high potential of more passengers especially in Asian countries including India

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.
