Lufthansa will do anything for its business class except make it any good.
What’s wrong with Lufthansa? It’s the only international business class I’ve ever flown. Had good experiences compared most domestic airlines in the US.
"With the technological improvements we currently see for headsets and software, I am convinced that mixed reality has the potential to transform many elements of the travel experience and drive scale." - Dr. Björn Becker, Head of Program, Future Intercontinental Experience, Lufthansa What does "drive scale" mean here?
