Lufthansa Airbus A340-300 seat map

Lufthansa's own seat map for this Airbus A340-300 shows 279 seats: 30 Business, 28 Premium Economy and 221 Economy. Business Class runs from row 1 to 5 in a 2-2-2 layout. Premium Economy runs from row 10 to 14 in a 2-3-2 layout. Economy Class runs from row 16 to 46 in a 2-4-2 layout. Rows 29 and 30 are exit rows behind a door. The map marks rows 18-22 as Lufthansa's Preferred Zone. Business is the older 2-2-2 flat seat, so window seats have no direct aisle access.
