In 2024, we saw Lufthansa’s new Allegris passenger experience take to the skies, several years behind schedule. With these cabins flying, it’s understandable that people actually want to experience this product, and see what it’s like.
In this post, I want to provide a rundown of the routes that currently feature Lufthansa Allegris cabins, and are expected to feature them in the coming months. As more of these planes enter service, more passengers also have the opportunity to experience this.
This is an especially good time to look at the status of Allegris, given that we’ve just seen the switch from the IATA summer to winter schedule, which impacts the aircraft flying particular routes.
In this post:
What is the Lufthansa Allegris concept?
Allegris is the name of Lufthansa’s new passenger experience. While Allegris branding applies in all cabins (and even to lounges, as they’re renovated), it’s the new Allegris first class and Allegris business class that people are most excited about.
The new Allegris business class is probably the most exciting development, because for years, Lufthansa had an outdated business class product, but the airline has finally introduced a much more competitive business class experience. However, the new Allegris first class is great as well, and a massive improvement over the old product (even if I can’t make much sense of the double suite concept).
Which planes have Lufthansa Allegris cabins?
In the coming years, the new Allegris passenger experience should become the norm rather than the exception, especially as we see a retrofit project for Airbus A350-900s (as of 2027) and Boeing 747-8s (as of 2026). However, for the foreseeable future, you’ll only find the new Allegris cabins on newly delivered Airbus A350-900s and Boeing 787-9s.
When it comes to Airbus A350s, Lufthansa currently has 10 of these planes in service, and we should progressively see more of these join the fleet in the coming years. For those into tracking planes, D-AIXR, D-AIXS, D-AIXT, D-AIXU, D-AIXV, D-AIXW, D-AIXX, D-AIXY, D-AIXZ, and D-AIVE, are the first 10 A350s flying with the new cabins.
On top of that, we’ve also seen Lufthansa start to take delivery of Boeing 787-9s with the new cabins. The catch is that the 787-9s don’t have first class, and so far, only four of the business class seats are usable (due to seat certification issues). Lufthansa so far has two of these planes, and they have the registration codes D-ABPF and D-ABPS.
Which routes feature Lufthansa Allegris cabins?
Lufthansa’s A350s with Allegris cabins are all based in Munich (MUC), while Lufthansa’s 787s with Allegris are based in Frankfurt (FRA).
For the current IATA winter season (through late March 2026), you’ll find the Allegris A350s flying from Munich (MUC) to the following destinations on select frequencies:
- Bangalore (BLR)
- Cape Town (CPT)
- Chicago (ORD)
- Miami (MIA)
- New York (JFK)
- Newark (EWR)
- Shanghai (PVG)
- Tokyo (HND)
Meanwhile you’ll find the Allegris 787s flying from Frankfurt (FRA) to the following destinations on select frequencies (again, only four business class seats are actually bookable on these planes, so don’t get too excited for the time being):
- Austin (AUS), as of December 2025
- Bogota (BOG)
- Hyderabad (HYD)
- Mumbai (BOM)
- Rio de Janeiro (GIG)
- Toronto (YYZ)
Let me emphasize that aircraft assignments always remain subject to change, and don’t assume that all A350 or 787 frequencies will necessarily be operated by Allegris aircraft (there are plenty of both aircraft types without Allegris seats). If a route is scheduled to be operated by an Allegris jet, you’ll see that Lufthansa’s website has a note saying “Allegris: New seat concept” when making a booking.
Also remember that Lufthansa has fees to assign many types of seats in Allegris business class, given the huge variance in quality between the seats.
Bottom line
Lufthansa Allegris is increasingly becoming a reality, with 10 Munich-based A350s and two Frankfurt-based 787s featuring the new cabins. Lufthansa is regularly scheduling these planes on select routes, so it’s possible to plan your journey around the experience pretty reliably.
It’s nice to see the concept expand, though until all the business class seats on the 787s get certified, it’s hard to get too excited here, as at most four people per 787 flight get to experience business class. So for the time being, the Munich A350s are the ones you’ll want to fly, if possible.
Do any OMAAT readers have plans to fly Lufthansa Allegris?
World's best first and business class
E39, are you serious, alternatively, are you just posting for effect?
You have obviously never experienced the excellence of LH, distrusting my comment
E39, thank you for coo that perhaps you have not experienced any of the 14 world class airlines above LH in the World Rankings, yes?
CONFIRMING,
No need, LH is superior in every way
I’d really like to see what their retrofits on the 748 will be like, especially for upstairs. I’ll go out of my way for that once it’s live. For now, outta NYC, it’s just MUC, and it doesn’t feel consistent yet.
Separately, it was wild to see their a388 in DEN over the summer.
I'd really like to see original input. And not endless droning on and on, and on and on on every topic under the sun...
…. like what you are guilty of John, much like another Jon one could mention, yes?
My friend who's a purser on Swiss tells me the crew are horrified in advance by the on-board drama the multiple seating options will create.
How do you manage someone who paid for a specific seat type if it goes technical? How do you refund them? Etc, etc...
A train wreck waiting to happen.
Do A380s have any Allergies or other cabin upgrades coming or already completed?
The A380 Alegris seats are on the wings.
Unless you pay 480€ /799CHF for a throne in the hold.
@Alex
The A380s will not get Allegris business class seats as those seats cannot be installed in the upper deck. They will get another type of business class seats. They may get the Allegris first class since FC is on the main deck of the A380 on Lufthansa.
The only good thing about this cabin is that it is installed in A350 aircraft.
