Rio De Janeiro-Galeão–antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport(GIG)
Lufthansa is still one of the best Airlines, but suffering with economy problems as the most of other big companies today. Fortunately, it does not search for solutions at the high political/econimical level, but pulls its problems to the own customers, as usual.
On boarding/floor personal, I give the best note. Excellent! To the Companies product management thou. The worst possible.
The creating of a "Premium Economy" class shows that Lufthansa what's to try a "cheap" but profiting to solve its economical issues... In my opinion, it isn't worth to pay the actual prices for Premium Economy for the "extra" service it gives.
On economy class seats: Lufthansa has clearly chosen "cheap" furniture for its economy class. Seats have very thin "stuffing", therefore less comfortable as it used to be. At other side, passenger gets a bit more space for their "knees". Good! Thou, seat does not recline much... Folding tables fold twice, making them unstable. I tried many tables, and none of them become "FLAT" and stable when opened. Tables don't have borders to avoid things to slip and fall... So you will have a bit of stress to hold things together, hoping that nothing falls down.
Now, on seat 28D: Everyone has entertainment. It is so that NICE! In counter-side, many seats have a so called "Entertainment Box" in their feet-room, underneath the front-seat. This is the case for 28D. Entertainment boxes a really BIG! Additionally, front-seat has a "arm-table" which folds down, reducing even more feet-room for seat 28D. Additionally, life-vests are placed in a "BIG" hard-plastic box unterneath the front-seat. For big-footed passengers, an additional annoyance.
So, if you are a "big" guy, have big feet, if you like to stretch your legs.
DON'T get this seat!!!
Maybe a row behind could be a little better.

I frequently fly overseas and this is one of the worst seats I've ever flown in. There is a large ~7" wide AV box smack dab in the middle of your footwell area. It is large enough that a medium sized backpack won't fit under the seat unless you stow it sideways. Even worse, there is no footwell partition with the adjacent seat at 19E meaning that it is a shared footwell space. If you're lucky enough to be seated next to a manspreader, you will be playing footsie with them for the duration of the flight. Awful. Absolutely not worth paying the extra money for this seat. Choose 19G if you must.

TOP, dit was onze allereerste business vlucht en onze vakantie was bij deze meteen 2 dagen langer. De anders toch wat moeilijk te verteren economy vlucht waar we steeds tegen op keken werd in business een feest om naar uit te kijken. Ook de lounches waren een gewaardeerde toegevoegde waarde aan onze reis. Het anders ook al super personeel verdient in deze klasse een extra sterretje. Wij waren zéér tevreden.

Crew was very polite an helpful.
I took this seat because in internet it was recommanded not to take the window seats. This is totally wrong, all other seats have min. 1 TV box in the legroom. The B,J seats have two, one small, one wide. Only A,K have no boxe. Because of these TV-boxes in the legroom its a horror whre to put the legs. I am 184cm tall.

Comfortable upper deck seat. Bulkhead / counter divider in front- used by crew to rest trays / bread (lots and lots of bread!)
Good views from window. Lots of room. Was able to climb over neighbour without disturbing them. Good crew. Nice amenity kit / shave kit. Initimate cabin, calm. Slept OK but a lot of turbulence sadly. Might choose 87 next time, quiet toward rear.

It was quite good, except Lufthansa has stopped giving basic items like toothbrush,paste and blinds to block light while sleeping.Maybe there is some other way to call the flight attendants,as there was no response to pressing the button given. Also,I didn't get served breakfast till I hailed a passing FA and asked for it!!!just 40 minutes before landing.

Really good seats, easily went from chair to bed and excellent TV audio system. Food disappointing as choices had gone for some meals by the time the crew got to us in the cabin. The food and drink that was served was ok.

Only benefit is legroom. Just behind bussiness class, more than 20x curtains moving, very transit and busy zone.
Old equipment, old staff, average food. All in one .... from 1 to 10... weak 6... the famous name need refreshing...

Paid for an upgrade from economy to premium economy wich proved to be a good ideea because of the extra legroom we got. Food was mediocre at best but service was better.
