The First Class Suite’s guests can warm or cool their nearly one-meter-wide seats in the suite according to their personal needs and connect their own mobile device to the entertainment system. Ample storage space is provided by a suite wardrobe so that travellers can change and have all their personal belongings at hand. The cabin crew serves the gourmet menu at a time requested by the guests. The meal can be enjoyed in the private suites at the large First Class table, similar to a restaurant.

The First Class will be introduced in 2024 on the newly delivered Airbus A350s as part of “Lufthansa Allegris,” the airline’s new long-haul product. “Allegris” is part of the largest product and service overhaul in the Lufthansa Group’s history, with a total investment of 2.5 billion euros by 2025. With “Allegris”, more than 80 brand-new Lufthansa aircraft – Boeing 787-9s, Airbus A350s and Boeing 777-9s – will fly to destinations around the world. Aircraft already in service with Lufthansa, such as the Boeing 747-8, will also be retrofitted.

Business Class Suite

Guests in Business Class can also look forward to their own suite, which offers more privacy due to chest-high walls and sliding doors. Inside, it is possible to connect the two suites so that guests traveling together can enjoy a large degree of privacy. Here, travellers in the first rows can enjoy extended personal space, a monitor up to 27 inches in size and ample storage. Each suite also offers its own wardrobe and personal minibar. Inside, it is possible to connect the two suites so that business class guests traveling together can enjoy a large degree of privacy.

In Business Class, passengers can choose between 6 additional seat options, depending on whether they want an extra-long bed measuring 2.20 meters, extra space and work area, a seat with a baby bassinet, or simply a seat directly by the window. A double seat, in which the center console can be retracted to transform it into a reclining surface for two, is also available.

The seats can be converted into a bed at least two meters long and also offer high-definition screens (4K), generously-sized dining tables, wireless charging, noise-canceling headphones and Bluetooth connectivity. All seats are also equipped with a heating and cooling system, giving business class travellers the flexibility to set their own temperature.

Premium Economy and Economy

The new Premium Economy Class has already been introduced at SWISS in spring 2022. The “Allegris” seat offers more legroom, a fold-out leg rest, and can be adjusted even further back than the current model. Because it will be integrated into a hard shell, however, adjusting it will have no effect on fellow passengers in the row behind. The table and monitor always remain in position. For more comfort, Premium Economy Class passengers will also receive a travel amenity kit made of sustainable materials.
With the new “Allegris” product generation, Lufthansa is also giving its guests significantly more choice in Economy Class. In the future, travelers will have the option of booking additional seats in the first rows that offer more legroom, or a free seat next to them.
