Deutsche Lufthansa AG will offer business-class seats that stretch to 2.2 meters (7 feet) in new Boeing Co. 777 jets, aiming to boost the corporate appeal of a carrier that has only recently embraced flat-bed berths.
Passengers will be able to choose between six different setups in the business cabin, including a paired layout, an enhanced-privacy variant and one that offers slightly less snooze room while featuring more storage and work space. All but the extra-long berth will measure a standard 6 feet 6 inches.
