Personally I find it slightly worse than the Economy Comfort from TK (which they also use for short haul Business class, hint hint @ LH) which I personally liked quite much, but not much.

As SEN, I don't see much incentive to book Y+, as long as you can get an exit row seat in Y. If your body is more wide than tall, it might be different though

I mean, I would probably pay 100, 200€ more for Y+ (one way) even as SEN, but obviously LH think the difference should be more like 500€ (one way) - which is MUCH more than what I'm willing to spend. I mean, for what LH asks for Y+, I can usually score SU in "proper" C for about the same or not much more.

The product is good for Y+, but the pricing imho is too high. I gladly paid what TK asked for their product (around 1500 CHF Ex-ZRH to PVG, for example) - but LH is asking about 20-30% more than that, which is just out of the "comfort" zone for my purse for this kind of product

I completely agree with you. I flew ORD-FRA-ORD in Y+ in the last two weeks. The seats are good, but not great. If TK is a major competitor of LH, the Y+ is inadequate on LH. The seasts are narrower and when the seat in front is in full recline, you cannot use you laptop as they advertise. Additionally, I am not sure why LH put the Y+ cabin directly behind the toilets on the 748. Throughout the entire flight all you could hear was toilets flushing. The first meal was good...but on TK, the food is better categorically. This specifically relates to the Y+ product on LH. t have flown F and C with them and enjoyed both experiences with the new product.
