Lufthansa dazzles with new First Class and Business Class cabins

When “Lufthansa Allegris” was announced in 2017 - passengers were promised a new long haul experience in all cabins across airlines in the group which includes SWISS, Austrian Airlines and of course Lufthansa.

Late last year, the Group announced a new First Class and Business Class experience for SWISS

The latest news from Lufthansa was unexpected as it will be adding a double cabin in First Class, a new Business Class and a front row Business Class Suite - all set to appear by 2024 initially on the German carrier's Airbus A350 fleet.

The “single seat” First Class Suite was debuted last December, but the new “Suite Plus” will feature a separate double cabin with ceiling-high walls and an entirely closable door, large table and two wide seats that can be combined into a comfortable double bed if required - basically a flying room! Passengers can warm or cool their nearly one-metre-wide seats according to their personal needs and connect their own mobile device to the entertainment system. Ample storage space is provided by a wardrobe so that travellers can comfortably change and have all their personal belongings at hand. The crew will serve a gourmet menu at a time requested - dine on demand. The meal can be enjoyed in the private suites at the large First Class table, similar to a restaurant.

"Every guest has their own understanding of premium, which is why we focus on maximum individuality and exclusivity. The First Class Suite Plus conveys the feeling of privacy and individuality similar to a hotel room – only at an altitude of eleven kilometers," explains Jens Ritter, CEO Lufthansa Airlines, "The Allegris range promises individuality, exclusivity, and premium service along the entire travel chain."

They can enjoy greater personal space, a monitor up to 27 inches in size and greatstorage. Each suite also offers its own wardrobe and personal minibar.

With "Allegris," the freedom of choice for Business Class guests has never been greater. Travellers can choose between six further seat options, depending on whether they want an extra-long bed measuring 2.20 metres, extra space and work area, a seat with a baby bassinet, or simply an exclusive seat directly by the window. A double seat, in which the centre console can be retracted to transform it into a reclining surface for two, is also available.

High seat walls and generous shoulder space provide greater privacy in all options. 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-cancelling headphones and Bluetooth connectivity. All seats are also equipped with a heating and cooling system, giving Business Class passengers the flexibility to set their own temperature. For extra comfortable side sleeping, seats also feature a shoulder sink-in, allowing the shoulder to sink into the seat, increasing sleeping comfort for side sleepers. A tablet-sized control unit provides access to all seating, lighting, heating/cooling and entertainment functions. Each seat is directly accessible from the aisle.

The new Premium Economy Class has already been introduced at SWISS. 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.
