Lufthansa Allegris First Class prepares for takeoff this month
Lufthansa Allegris First Class
Lufthansa Allegris First Class, the flagship of the new cabin on long-haul routes, will take off this month, on a scheduled flight for the first time. The first destinations will be in India: Bangalore on November 9 and Mumbai on November 15. The Allegris First Class offering will alternate between the two destinations, the October 31 press release said.
Two individual suites and the Suite Plus in the A350-900 will then take off on a scheduled flight for the first time. After a technical introduction phase, Lufthansa will initially present the new product to its most loyal guests by invitation. As soon as more aircraft with the new First Class are part of the fleet, targeted upgrades by passengers, and later targeted bookings, will be possible.
The furnishings in the First Class Suite allow passengers to heat or cool their almost one-meter-wide seats in the suite according to their personal needs. The separate suites – with ceiling-high walls and a lockable door, a large table and wide seat, a huge screen and wireless over-ear headphones – promote comfort and individuality.
A personal wardrobe in the suite provides ample storage space so that travellers can change inflight and have all their personal items at hand. Individual lamps also allow passengers to create their own feel-good atmosphere. The Suite Plus offers the option of travelling together with a travel partner in a suite.
Lufthansa receives APEX Innovation Award
Lufthansa received the award for the world's best inflight entertainment innovation 2024 from the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) in Long Beach this week. In collaboration with Meta and MSM.Digital, the airline has launched an inflight entertainment initiative and is currently testing mixed reality technologies for passengers. On all flights equipped with Allegris, travellers in the Business Class Suite now have the opportunity to use the headsets and give feedback on what they particularly enjoyed. With the latest generation of VR headsets, Lufthansa is the only airline in the world to exclusively offer content, such as captivating cinema-style movies, engaging VR 360-degree travel podcasts, interactive games and soothing relaxation exercises.
