Based in Luxembourg, Luxair flies a mix of scheduled flights to Europe and charter/leisure flights to North Africa and the Canary Islands. In the 1980s it flew the Boeing 747 in its -SP version on flights to South Africa and North America. Its aircraft are configured in a single class layout but normally the first two or three rows aboard B737s and Dash 8s are reserved to Business Class clients, with the middle seat on the 737s and one of two seats on each side of the Dash 8 left unoccupied for more privacy and personal space, a moving curtain separating this section from the rest of the cabin (Photo Wikimedia Commons / Pedro Aragao)
