Lufthansa's Airbus A380s are in a three-class configuration accommodating 526 passengers. There is a completely new design First Class cabin and a Business Class cabin on the upper deck with Economy Class on the main deck.

A new passenger handling area between the C and D concourses in Terminals 1 and 2 at Frankfurt Airport  was open to handle the aircraft, with  two waiting areas and piers allowing passengers to board flights direct from two separate levels.

With this concept, Lufthansa can now channel First, Business and Economy-Class passengers into separate areas as soon as they access the waiting and boarding zone at the airport. Once through the security controls, First and Business-Class passengers as well as status customers go straight to the Priority Gates on Departures Level Three. These gates, designed in Lufthansa business-lounge style, offer comfortable waiting zones with easy chairs to relax in, as well as workstations equipped with wireless Internet access and spacious bistros serving drinks and light menus.

First-Class passengers as well as HON Circle members or Senators also have the use of an exclusive Senator Lounge with a panoramic view of the airport apron, and the take-off and landing strips. Four open gates for Economy-Class passengers on the second level are equipped with ample seating arrangements and snackbars. Spacious glass facades give the interior a bright, friendly and airy atmosphere. The open gates allow passengers to move around freely in the handling areas and afford a good view of traffic on the airport apron.

Three A380s and a Boeing 747 can be handled simultaneously, at the new C/D pier. Gates C15 and C16 are each additionally equipped to accommodate two smaller aircraft, e.g. of the A320 type.
