The German airline presents a new long-haul cabin with suites in First Class and the first row of Business Class. Not only new aircraft receive the product called Allegris.
Lufthansa starts its long-awaited product offensive and introduces a new cabin product on long-haul routes. The name: Allegris. For the first time in Lufthansa’s history, Frist Class is getting suites that can be closed.
In the private areas with floor-to-ceiling walls, there is a separate wardrobe and a dining table that can also accommodate a second person. Screens span the full width of the suite, the airline announced on Friday (October 14).
What is changing in Economy Class
There are also suites in the first row of Business Class, also with their own wardrobe and with a 27-inch monitor. Further seating options follow, all with direct aisle access and a 17-inch screen.
In future, travelers will be able to book seats in the first rows in Economy Class, which have a larger seat pitch and offer additional comfort. Lufthansa is also planning to introduce a so-called Sleeper’s Row on all long-haul flights. A passenger gets a whole row of seats for himself.
Boeing 747-8s are also being converted
The airline has that Concept already tested, but now promises: “By folding up a leg rest and thanks to an additional mattress, travelers can relax and sleep even better in Economy Class on a bed surface that is 40 percent larger than on the original Sleeper’s Row.” In Economy Class, there will also be the option of booking a free seat next to you.
The new Premium Economy Class of the Lufthansa Group was launched in spring 2022 introduced at Swiss. More than 100 of the Group’s new aircraft, such as the Boeing 787-9, Airbus A350 and Boeing 777-9, will be equipped with the Allegri offer. In addition, Lufthansa aircraft that are already in use, such as the Boeing 747-8 converted.
First Dreamliner with a different cabin
Die first Boeing 787-9 that Lufthansa has already receivedas well as the next four copies do not yet have the new Allegris product, but a adapted cabin from the originally planned operator Hainan Airlines. Four Airbus A350s also have neither the old nor the new Lufthansa product, but one adapted Philippine Airlines cabin.
When asked whether Lufthansa, with the product offensive already announced at the time, fifth Skytrax star CEO Carsten Spohr said in August that he would have “liked to keep” the highest rating. However, the requirements for a private airline in Europe cannot be met. In any case, they want to meet the premium claim once more, “with or without a fifth star,” says Spohr.
