The new A350 XWB vessel between Doha and Frankfurt has provided a substantial capacity increase on the route. Its two-class configuration has 36 Business Class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, each with an 80” fully flat bed and 17” HD entertainment screen. Economy Class comprises 247 seats at 18-inches wide in a 3-3-3 configuration, with up to a 32-inch pitch.
