I was surprised about the Air Berlin comment, too. Don’t think they were anything like WOW over the Atlantic.

Condor has angled (170 degree) business class seats. I have flown them a few times from the west coast because of business class fares were quite low when factoring in the mileage earnings with Alaska. They are currently not owned by Lufthansa (though there is talk of perhaps taking it over from current parent Thomas Cook - see https://skift.com/2019/03/14/lufthan...irline-condor/).
