Eurowings: New Premium Business seats from December 1 on Mallorca routes

From December 1, selected Eurowings flights to Palma and other destinations will feature eight particularly generous seats per A320neo with up to one meter of legroom, extendable legrest and a welcome drink.

Eurowings introduces new Premium Business seats on Mallorca routes

From December 1, passengers on certain Eurowings routes can book a different seating option: eight so-called Premium Business seats have been installed on eight retrofitted Airbus A320neo aircraft, with eight seats available per flight. On routes to and from the island these seats are available on services such as Berlin–Palma and Düsseldorf–Palma.

The seats are located in the front rows of the business class cabin, with only two seats per row. The result is more space to the side and in front of the knees: according to the information provided, in some places up to one meter of legroom is available. Anyone who has ever smelled the mix of sea air and diesel from the Passeig Marítim at the gate in Palma knows how welcome a little extra space can be—especially after a longer flight.

Technically, the Premium Business seats offer an extendable legrest, an ergonomic design and a double, fold-out cocktail table. Small practical details round off the package: a USB port at the seat and buttons in the armrest for adjustments. Passengers also receive a small service extra on board: a welcome drink when boarding.

Which routes are affected

The eight converted A320neo aircraft will be used on various routes, according to the available information. In addition to the Palma flights, these include Berlin–Dubai, Cologne–Dubai, Stuttgart–Dubai, Berlin–London, Düsseldorf–London and Düsseldorf–Málaga. The retrofitting was carried out specifically for these aircraft, as discussed in Eurowings brings back seat pockets: More space — but at what cost?.

For Mallorca this has a practical side: Eurowings, alongside other major carriers, is one of the key links from German airports to the island; see More Flights from BER: Eurowings Expands Capacity to Mallorca — A Win for the Island for details on increased frequency. Those who leave the airport in Palma and stroll through the streets around the Plaça Major often encounter passengers from Germany—with the expanded seating offer, more business travelers or tourists who appreciate comfort could arrive directly in the future, just as regional connections are growing in other areas such as Direct from Erfurt to Palma: Mini-jet links Thuringia with Mallorca in summer 2026.

What this means for the island

More comfort on board usually means satisfied guests who are more willing to travel outside the peak season. This can be noticeable for the cafés on Avinguda de Jaume III or the taxi drivers at the airport. A comfortable outbound and return flight increases the chance that visitors will stay longer or return more often. This is particularly interesting for the low season when Mallorca depends on additional, solvent guests.

The retrofitting affects only a small number of aircraft: Eurowings currently operates around 100 planes and, according to the information provided, has about 5,500 employees. The new seat class is therefore a targeted offering and not a comprehensive product change.

Practical information

Those who want to try the new seats should pay attention to the flight numbers and the seat-class notes when booking. Seats are limited to eight per aircraft—booking early increases the chance of securing a place. For travelers with back problems, older passengers or business people on tight schedules, the option can be particularly useful.

At Palma airport the familiar scene remains: suitcases rolling on the floor, voices in Mallorquí and German, and the usual taxis in front of the terminal waiting for new guests. The premium seats do not change the island feeling; they simply add an extra bit of comfort on the way there.

Outlook: If demand is right, such special seat configurations could appear more frequently in the future. For now, however, they are a nice additional option on individual Eurowings aircraft—a product for travelers who appreciate a little more space and a few extras on board.

Info in brief: Start: December 1. Seats per aircraft: 8. Maximum legroom: up to 1 meter. Aircraft: A320neo (retrofitted). Affected routes: e.g. Berlin–Palma, Düsseldorf–Palma, several routes to Dubai, London and Málaga. Eurowings fleet size: around 100 aircraft; employees: approx. 5,500.
