Lufthansa Launches A350 with Allegris First Class on 5 Routes
Lufthansa Unveils Luxurious Allegris First Class Experience for 2025
COLOGNE – Lufthansa (LH) is set to elevate the travel experience with its new Allegris First Class cabin, launching on long-haul flights starting summer 2025. This exclusive upgrade will be featured on routes from Munich (MUC) to popular destinations including San Francisco (SFO), Chicago (ORD), San Diego (SAN), Shanghai (PVG), and Bengaluru (BLR). The introduction of the Allegris First Class promises to redefine luxury in the skies for discerning travelers seeking an unparalleled flying experience.
Additionally, travelers can enjoy new cabin products in Economy, Premium Economy, and Business Class on select flights to New York (NYC)-Newark (EWR) beginning mid-April, with Charlotte (CLT) routes to follow in early August.
Redefining Luxury in the Skies
Since February, Lufthansa has integrated nine A350-900 aircraft featuring the new cabin interiors into its fleet. Of these, eight aircraft are equipped with the innovative First Class suites, allowing nearly half a million passengers to experience this luxurious upgrade.
The airline is also committed to enhancing its existing fleet with the Allegris design this year, starting with retrofitting its Boeing 747-8 aircraft.
A New Era of First Class with Lufthansa
The redesigned First Class cabin introduces three unique suite options, including two individual suites and a remarkable Suite Plus. These individual suites offer customizable comfort, allowing passengers to adjust their almost one-meter-wide seats for heating or cooling. The private cabins feature ceiling-high walls, lockable doors, expansive tables, wide seating, and screens up to 43 inches, setting a new standard for in-flight comfort.
Key features of the new First Class cabins include:
- Generous Storage: Personal wardrobes for easy access to belongings.
- Ambiance Control: Individual lighting options tailored to passenger preferences.
- Suite Plus: A double cabin that transforms into a cozy double bed, perfect for couples or those seeking extra space.
The Allegris First Class is part of Lufthansa’s comprehensive premium service initiative, which includes renovated First Class check-in areas in Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC), as well as a redesigned First Class Lounge in Munich Airport.
Enhancements Across All Classes
Lufthansa is dedicated to sustainability and passenger satisfaction across all travel classes. Notable improvements include:
- Innovative Baggage Services: Enhanced baggage collection and check-in at Frankfurt (FRA), utilizing Apple AirTag for real-time luggage tracking.
- Unlimited In-Flight Messaging: Starting this summer, passengers can enjoy unlimited chatting on intercontinental flights, enabling them to communicate freely using their smartphones and tablets.
- Future Onboard Experience: A comprehensive overhaul of service components on long-haul flights is in the works, including updates to culinary offerings, tableware, pillows, blankets, and amenity kits, set to launch in time for Lufthansa’s centenary celebrations next year.
Business Class and Frequent Flyer Upgrades
Business Class passengers and frequent flyers will also benefit from several enhancements. Since late February, Lufthansa has introduced a new catering concept for short and medium-haul flights in Business Class, featuring an expanded selection of hot and cold dishes. The airline is also redesigning lounges in Newark (EWR) and London Heathrow (LHR), with plans to renovate an additional 30 lounges throughout the year.
