Lufthansa‘s new premium long-haul product, Allegris, will enter service on 1 May 2024, with the German carrier assigning its first Airbus A350 fitted with the new luxury cabin on its Munich-Vancouver route.
Allegris is part of the largest product and service overhaul in the Lufthansa Group’s history, with a total investment of 2.5 billion euros by 2025.
For the first time, guests in Lufthansa Business Class will have their own suite, which offers even more comfort and privacy due to chest-high walls and sliding doors. Guests in the first rows can enjoy extended personal space, a monitor up to 27 inches in size and ample storage. Each suite also offers its own wardrobe and personal minibar. Inside, it is possible to connect the two suites so that Business class guests travelling together can enjoy a large degree of privacy.
With “Allegris,” travellers can choose between five seating options depending on whether they want an extra-long bed measuring 2.20 meters, extra space and work area, a seat with a baby bassinet, or simply an exclusive seat directly by the window. A double seat, in which the centre console can be retracted to transform it into a reclining surface for two, is also available.
High seat walls and generous shoulder space provide greater privacy in all options. The seats can be converted into a bed at least two meters long and also offer high-definition screens (4K), generously-sized dining tables, wireless charging, noise-canceling headphones and Bluetooth connectivity. All seats are also equipped with a heating and cooling system, giving business class travellers the flexibility to set their own temperature.
For extra comfortable side sleeping, seats also feature a shoulder sink-in, allowing the shoulder to sink into the seat, increasing sleeping comfort for side sleepers. A tablet-sized control unit provides access to all seating, lighting, heating/cooling and entertainment functions.
Following its launch on the Munich-Vancouver city pairing, Lufthansa Allegris will expand the product to Toronto, which will be served alternately with Vancouver on selected flights in the first few months. As further A350s are delivered, the Allegris cabin will also be deployed on flights to Chicago and Montreal in the northern summer.
For the first time, travellers can now view a seat map for all Allegris flights from 1 May in the familiar booking channels with all special Allegris seats, such as the five options in Business Class.
Guests already booked on these flights will be notified of their “upgrade” to the new cabin. Seat reservations in Business Class are free of charge in the first few months and can be made and changed conveniently via the familiar booking channels. Passengers can see whether a flight is equipped with the Allegris product three weeks before departure.
