Lufthansa is set to enhance the availability of its luxurious first-class Allegris suites across various U.S. routes, following a recent showcase in New York City. The airline announced plans to introduce this premium cabin option starting mid-August, initially on flights to Charlotte, with subsequent launches to Miami and New York JFK slated for October 26.
Earlier this year, Lufthansa debuted the Allegris cabin on flights to several key cities including San Francisco, San Diego, and Chicago on March 30. The expansion continued in April with the introduction of Allegris on routes to Newark, with further North American destinations still to be determined.
Features of the Allegris Suites
The Allegris first-class cabin boasts three spacious suites, with the middle suite designed to comfortably host two guests. This innovative design is part of Lufthansa’s broader strategy to refine its offerings backed by a significant €2.5 billion investment in product and service enhancements aimed for completion by the end of 2025. According to Dirk Janzen, Lufthansa’s Vice President of Area Management for the Americas, approximately €2 billion of this budget will specifically benefit the Lufthansa brand.
Fleet and Future Plans
Currently, Lufthansa operates 10 Airbus A350-900 aircraft equipped with the Allegris first-class cabin. Moreover, the airline is set to incorporate the Allegris design into an additional 10 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, with deliveries expected to commence in the second quarter of 2026. Furthermore, an upgrade plan is underway for 15 Boeing 747-8 aircraft to include the Allegris first-class experience.
Conclusion
With the introduction of the Allegris suites, Lufthansa is raising the bar for luxury air travel in the U.S. market. Travelers can anticipate a refinement in service and overall experience as part of the airline’s commitment to its enhancement strategy.
