Lufthansa is expanding the introduction of its new "Allegris" cabin equipment to other long-haul routes. From March 30, 2025, the new seats will be used on flights from Munich to San Diego and New York-Newark (from mid-April), and from August also to Charlotte. The existing connection to Bengaluru will also remain in the program. In addition, the new first-class suites are available on flights to San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego, Shanghai and Bengaluru.
The new equipment includes various seating options in Business Class, including the "Privacy Seat" by the window, the "Extra Long Bed" with a 2,20 meter bed and the "Business Class Suite" with increased privacy thanks to sliding doors. These seats can be reserved for an additional charge, while the standard Business Class seat remains free of charge. Seat reservations in First Class also remain free of charge, while the particularly spacious "Suite Plus" can be booked for exclusive use for a fee.
There are currently nine Airbus A350-900s in service with Allegris cabins, six of which have the new First Class. According to Lufthansa, the new equipment is very popular and has recorded satisfaction ratings of over 90 percent in Business Class. The Allegris cabin has also received international design awards, including for innovative seat functions such as individually adjustable seat heating and cooling.
