The Lufthansa 787 in business class is a game changer. Learn why direct aisle access from every seat means that Lufthansa finally has a competitive business class product. But you also get the same old Lufthansa problems. In this video, I cover the entire business class experience. From the check-in to the lounge, the seat, the meals and the two big problems.
