Vancouver will be among destinations to lose first-class cabin service on Deutsche Lufthansa AG flights as the airline reduces the proportion of long-haul planes with first-class seats to 75 per cent.
The change is in response to waning demand for airfare tickets that can command the price of a small car.
Destinations set to lose the first-class option include Vancouver, for which a return ticket next week costs 10,020 euros ($13,400 US).
Lufthansa's retreat will leave it with a lower proportion of first class-equipped planes than British Airways, which offers it in 80 per cent of its long-haul fleet.
