Lufthansa has confirmed that its fleet of eight Airbus A380s will not be outfitted with the much-anticipated Allegris Business Class suites. Instead, these iconic aircraft will receive a widely available business class product, rather than Lufthansa’s latest flagship seat.
The airline is expected to announce the specific seat model chosen for the A380 retrofit soon. Notably, no changes are planned for First Class or Premium Economy cabins on the superjumbo, aside from the addition of an upgraded in-flight entertainment system to enhance the onboard experience.
When Lufthansa first unveiled its “Allegris” cabin concept, the promise was a transformative long-haul product across all Lufthansa Group airlines, including SWISS and Austrian Airlines. The Allegris Business Class experience introduced a choice of six seat types, catering to diverse needs—whether guests desire a 2.2-metre fully flat bed, spacious work zones, dedicated seats for travelers with infants, or exclusive window-side seating. The innovative double seat, which converts into a shared reclining surface, remains a highlight of the new design.
Lufthansa is rolling out Allegris Business Class across all new Airbus and Boeing aircraft deliveries, in addition to retrofitting existing A350s, Boeing 787 Dreamliners, and Boeing 747-8s. For the 747-8, Allegris will be exclusive to the lower deck, while the upper deck will retain the previous generation seat.
The carrier has reinstated eight A380s to its long-haul network as of 2025, following the sale of six of the original 14 superjumbos prior to the pandemic.
