Aug 7, 2007 Lufthansa is considering introducing an economy sleeper cabin on its long-haul flights, which would for the first time offer economy-class passengers a bed rather than a seat. Most airlines provide fully reclining seats on their long-range routes, but only for first- and business-class customers. Until now, airlines have been reluctant to introduce fully reclining seats in economy class because they require more space, which reduces the number of passengers and decreases profit for the carriers.
