A few days ago, the D-AIXT, the first Airbus A350-900 equipped with the Lufthansa Allegris cabin, arrived at Munich Airport.

The long-haul aircraft was transferred from Toulouse to the station in Munich on April 13, 2024. Lufthansa refers to the new long-haul cabin product as “Allegris”. According to the company's own information, around 2,5 billion euros are being invested in the redesign of the First, Business, Premium Economy and Economy transport classes. The D-AIXT is the first Airbus A350-900 from the factory is equipped with the Allegris cabin.

According to the company's own information, the transfer flight was carried out with the addition of so-called SAF. It is not yet possible to fly entirely with the kerosene substitute, as only the admixture, not the complete conversion, is currently permitted. In this regard, many airlines advertise misleadingly, as various advertising slogans allow the interpretation that there is only SAF in the tank. Not least for this reason, numerous providers have already suffered legal defeats.

The Lufthansa Group has ordered a total of 27.000 new seats to be used in the Boeing 747-8, 787-9, 777-9 and A350-900 aircraft as part of the Allegris program. The group expects the fact that there are different comfort options in the individual travel classes to generate higher income through additional individualization. For example, so-called “Suite Plus” are offered in First Class, which are intended to offer more privacy.

The Recaro seat CL3810 is used in economy class. It is the successor product to the CL3710, which can currently be found in Lufthansa's Dreamliners, among others. It is currently clear that Lufthansa and Swiss will convert some aircraft types to the Allegris cabin. It is still completely unclear whether Austrian Airlines will also receive this.
