Eurowings Introduces Premium Business Seats on Medium-Haul Routes - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

Eurowings, the value carrier of the Lufthansa Group, is set to redefine comfort on European medium-haul routes with the introduction of a new Premium BIZ seat – the airline’s first-ever true business class product on narrow-body aircraft. Launching in November 2025, the enhanced seating experience will debut on the Berlin–Dubai route and be available for booking from August via eurowings.com.

The new Premium BIZ seats, developed by Italian seat manufacturer Geven, offer a 2-2 layout in the Airbus A320neo, replacing the standard 3-3 economy configuration. Featuring generous padding, ergonomic design, and adjustable backrests, the seats deliver significantly more space, comfort, and privacy – bringing a level of sophistication typically reserved for wide-body aircraft to shorter routes.

Multiple Comfort Options on Board

Each A320neo will include eight Premium BIZ seats as part of the broader BIZclass product tier. Alongside this new offering, Eurowings continues to provide a range of fare options tailored to customer needs, including:

·         BIZclass: includes more legroom and a blocked middle seat

·         SMART: with optional extra legroom and added benefits

·         BASIC: the streamlined economy fare

“With our new Premium BIZ seat, we are setting a new standard for comfort on medium-haul routes,” said Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings. “Business travellers and holidaymakers alike will benefit from greater privacy and a significantly enhanced onboard atmosphere. This product solidifies Eurowings’ position as Europe’s leading value airline.”

Part of a Broader Innovation Drive

The new seating concept marks the first step in a larger Eurowings product and service offensive. As the airline prepares for a major fleet renewal from 2027 – with the introduction of 40 new Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft – the Premium BIZ seat will serve as a testbed for future cabin innovations across the Lufthansa Group.

Market trials beginning with the 2025/26 winter schedule are expected to inform broader fleet configurations in the years ahead. Additional product enhancements will follow throughout the year, aimed at improving the travel experience across all fare classes – not just for business travellers.

With this move, Eurowings is bridging the gap between low-cost efficiency and premium comfort – and bringing new value to medium-haul travel in Europe.
