What do you think about Lufthansa's new A350 cabin layout?

So, Lufthansa just unveiled their new cabin layout for the A350s, and I'm curious what you all think. They're going for a more premium economy focus, which seems to be a trend these days. From what I read, they're adding more premium economy seats and cutting down on economy ones. I guess it makes sense with business travel picking up again.

They're also introducing their 'Allegris' seat in business class, which looks pretty sleek. It's got sliding doors for privacy, which is cool, but I wonder if it's really worth it for shorter flights?

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I get the appeal of premium economy, but is it really catching on that much? And what about the tech they're integrating into the seats? Heard there's some fancy IFE system too.

Anyway, what do you guys think? Is this the right move for Lufthansa, or should they focus more on economy options? Curious to hear your thoughts!
I think focusing on premium economy makes sense with the rise in business travel. A lot of people want more comfort without paying business class prices. Lufthansa seems to be tapping into that market. But yeah, I'm with you on the business class seats with sliding doors. Might be overkill for shorter flights. As for the tech, I guess it depends on how much you value in-flight entertainment. Do we really need the latest IFE for a couple of hours?
I'm kinda torn on this. Premium economy is great if you're looking for a bit more comfort without the huge business class price tag, but I still think there should be a good balance. Cutting too many economy seats might be risky, especially if leisure travel picks up more. As for the Allegris seat, sliding doors sound cool, but probably overkill for short flights. I'm interested to see how the new IFE system works out. Anyone know if they're rolling this out fleet-wide or just on new A350s?
Honestly, premium economy is getting more popular, especially for long-haul flights. People want more space and comfort without totally breaking the bank. But I still think airlines need a solid economy section too. Not everyone can afford the step up, you know? As for the sliding doors in business class, they seem awesome but maybe overkill for shorter routes. I'm curious about the new IFE system. Anyone know what makes it so special?
I get why they're pushing premium economy, but I'm worried too many airlines are neglecting the regular economy folks. Not everyone can afford the upgrade, and squeezing more people into fewer seats back there isn't fun. As for the Allegris seat, sliding doors seem more like a gimmick on shorter flights. IFE upgrades are always nice, though. Anyone know if they're planning to retrofit older planes with this tech too?
