Lufthansa has upgraded its first class experience with a new cabin interior on long-haul flights. The “Allegris First Class” cabin is bookable from March 30 on summer flights from Munich to San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego, Shanghai and Bengaluru. Travelers can also enjoy the new cabin product in economy, premium economy and business class on flights from New York-Newark (from mid-April) and Charlotte (from the beginning of August).
Since February, nine A350-900s with the new cabin interior have already been flying for Lufthansa, eight of them with the new first-class experience. This year, the retrofitting of the existing fleet with Lufthansa Allegris will commence, beginning with the Boeing 747-8.
Lufthansa’s Allegris First Class offers three suite options: two individual suites and a Suite Plus double cabin. Guests in the individual suites can heat or cool their three-foot-wide seats, according to their personal needs. The separate cabins have ceiling-high walls and a lockable door, large table and wide seat, an up to 43-inch-wide screen, wireless over-ear headphones and individual lamps. Generous storage space is provided by a personal wardrobe in the suite, so that travelers can comfortably change and have all their items at hand. The double cabin, Suite Plus, has two wide seats that can be combined into a double bed if required.
The new first class is part of a major Lufthansa premium initiative. Among the enhancements, first class guests can also look forward to renovated first class check-in areas in Frankfurt and Munich, as well as the redesigned first class lounge at Munich Airport.
In addition, the airline is offering all passengers departing from Frankfurt a new baggage collection and check-in service. Since last year, travelers have been able to use the Apple AirTag location function to provide the location of their AirTag via the familiar digital channels of Lufthansa baggage tracing. Starting this summer, Lufthansa will also offer unlimited free chatting on its intercontinental flights. Passengers will be able to send and receive any number of messages, including photos, on their smartphone or tablet via the familiar apps during the flight, regardless of their travel class.
Lufthansa is additionally revising all service components on long-haul flights in all classes, including the culinary offering, tableware, pillows, blankets, amenity kits and the onboard service. The introduction of the upgraded service is scheduled to commence in time for Lufthansa’s 100th anniversary next year. Since the end of February, a new catering concept on short- and medium-haul flights in business class offers travelers more hot and cold meal choices, as well as new menus.
Beyond all that, the lounges in Newark and London Heathrow have been entirely redesigned, and the renovation of a further 30 lounges will follow this year.
