With Lufthansa you can now book a bed on board!
The space is like that of business class, the seat and food, however, are not.

Forget the uncomfortable seats, the knees banging in the seats in front, the neighbor occupying all the arm rests, with Lufthansa you can reserve a whole row of seats and...sleep on it!
In this article:
It is called "Sleeper's Row," literally "sleeper's row," which Lufthansa is currently testing on flights 506 and 507 between Frankfurt e St. Paul's Brazil. Basically, the service allows you to book a whole row of seats At an advantageous price.
These flights are made using the 747/800 and the German carrier is one of the last to have in service the aircraft that marked an era, that of the four-engine jumbo.
What does Sleeper's Row consist of?
Trying to sleep during a low-cost flight is always a challenge, but today passengers flying Economy Class have the option to lie down and sleep comfortably with as much space as they want.
Those who purchase the service will have included thepriority boarding, a pillow, a topper and a warm blanket with which to snuggle while traveling at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
The service is not booked online but can be purchased directly at the airport, subject to seat availability and for a limited number of seats.
But how much does it cost?
The additional price for your bed on board is 220€, a rate that is not excessive when you consider that the Frankfurt - São Paulo flight costs approximately €1,500, and for all those hours of flight time, perhaps the price is worth the expense!
Who knows if after the testing phase, Lufthansa will permanently include Sleeper's Row in its offerings or will it remain just a nice attempt to provide a service Business in a flight Economy.
Why this choice of Lufthansa?
Simple right now the flight is not selling out, so the German airline's decision is to offer a choice to the passenger in the hope that he or she might "pay" extra for something they would probably get for free anyway.
Note how in recent days came the announcement that in short- and medium-haul flights the German company will no longer provide snacks and/or meals to passengers in tourist class, another example of the carrier trying to react to a crisis that has deeply undermined its existence.
In my opinion, we are unlikely to see this solution survive in the future when flights will hopefully become full again as they were before Covid-19.
