Lufthansa is set to launch its revolutionary Allegris First Class on long-haul routes, marking a milestone for the airline’s flagship service. Beginning November 9, 2024, the new First Class cabin will debut on flights to Bangalore, with additional services to Mumbai starting November 15. This launch introduces the luxury Suite Plus option, along with individual suites, aboard the Airbus A350-900.
Designed for ultimate comfort, the Allegris First Class Suite boasts nearly one-meter-wide seats with customizable heating and cooling options. Each suite is enclosed with ceiling-high walls and features a lockable door, large table, widescreen monitor, wireless over-ear headphones, and individual lighting. These enhancements allow passengers to create a tailored, private space that meets their personal preferences. Each suite also includes a spacious wardrobe, offering travelers the convenience of in-suite storage. For those traveling together, the Suite Plus option combines individual comfort with an innovative layout, allowing travel partners to share an exclusive space.
Following an introductory phase, Lufthansa will invite its most loyal guests to experience the Allegris First Class before expanding access. Once more aircraft with this configuration join the fleet, Lufthansa will gradually roll out upgrades and make bookings available to all passengers.
In addition to this new First Class experience, Lufthansa has received the 2024 APEX Innovation Award for pioneering in-flight entertainment with virtual reality. Partnering with Meta and MSM.Digital, the airline has launched a mixed reality initiative, allowing Business Class Suite passengers on Allegris-equipped flights to try VR headsets and enjoy exclusive entertainment. This groundbreaking technology offers immersive cinema-style movies, VR travel podcasts, interactive games, and relaxation exercises, setting Lufthansa apart as the only airline providing such an experience.
The Allegris launch and VR innovation underscore Lufthansa’s commitment to elevating the passenger experience through luxurious design and forward-thinking technology.
