Lufthansa A350-900 Business Class (ex-Philippine Airlines) cabin — **Lufthansa Business Class (ex-Philippine Airlines)** · Airbus A350-900Config 359

Inherited from the four ex-Philippine Airlines A350-900s acquired by Lufthansa in 2022–2023, this cabin retains PAL's original Thompson Vantage XL staggered lie-flat seat in a 1-2-1 layout — substantively different from Lufthansa's standard pre-Allegris A350 fleet (which is 2-2-2). The cabin holds approximately 30 J seats over rows 1–8, with every seat offering direct aisle access and converting to a fully flat bed of roughly 196 cm. Side panels and a footwell tucked next to the aisle provide moderate visual separation from neighbors, but there is no closing door. Cabin tech and amenities reflect PAL's late-2010s long-haul fit, not the newer Allegris hardware on lh-35p tails. These aircraft are scheduled to transfer to Discover Airlines / Brussels Airlines by 2027.
