Germanwings Modifies Onboard Product

Posted 02/06/2011

Germanwings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of German flag carrier Lufthansa, has revised its product with the introduction of a new premium product for customers.  The low-cost carrier will introduce a new seating area across the first ten rows of its Airbus A319 fleet, providing what it describes as a “special comfort zone with Best Seat” to passengers offering increased legroom as an additional booking option.  These are available at a cost of €15 per sector and offer an additional 3in pitch (32in rather than 29in), as well as one piece of checked luggage and a complementary onboard snack and drink.

The German carrier offers services to more than 75 destinations across Europe from five German bases - Cologne/Bonn, Stuttgart, Berlin Schönefeld, Hanover and Dortmund – using 30 A319s.
