The seats will be capable of extending up to 86.8 inches when converted to lie-flat mode. Passengers will be able to access the in-flight entertainment and control seat functions with the help of an Android-based tablet. Each seat will also include an inbuilt Qi-standard wireless charging pad which will work with the latest smartphones from Apple, Samsung, and other manufacturers.

In the new layout, the passengers seated side by side are angled away from one another, but the privacy screen separating the seats can be lowered for passengers travelling together. Lufthansa’s new business class cabin won’t be installed on their existing jets, but will instead be exclusive to the Boeing 777-9 jets. The 777X aircraft became famous for its foldable wing tips on its giant wing, which will help the wide aircraft to dock at normal boarding gates.

The plane will be powered by a pair of all-new engines from General Electric, GE9X, which along with the new wing design, will make it 20 per cent more fuel-efficient per seat than the current 777. The 777X will also feature a higher humidity environment along with a lower cabin pressure, making it more comfortable for passengers.
