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 winter to summer schedule, which impacts the aircraft flying particular routes.
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The new Allegris business class is probably the most significant development, because for years, Lufthansa had an outdated business class product, but the airline has finally introduced a much more competitive business class experience.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 later this year). Airbus A380s are getting new business class seats (as of this year), but it’s not the Allegris product. So 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, though note that these planes don’t feature first class. Lufthansa so far has nine of these planes flying, and they have the registration codes D-ABPF, D-ABPL, D-ABPM, D-ABPP, D-ABPQ, D-ABPR, D-ABPS, D-ABPT, and D-ABPU. On top of that, the next two planes to join the fleet will be D-ABPI and D-ABPO.
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 all based in Frankfurt (FRA).
For the current IATA summer season (through late October 2026), you’ll find the Allegris A350s flying from Munich (MUC) to the following destinations on select frequencies:
- Bangalore (BLR)
- Chicago (ORD)
- Miami (MIA) until April 2026
- New York (JFK)
- Newark (EWR)
- San Diego (SAN)
- Shanghai (PVG)
- Tokyo (HND)
Meanwhile you’ll find the Allegris 787s flying from Frankfurt (FRA) to the following destinations on select frequencies:
- Austin (AUS)
- Bogota (BOG)
- Cape Town (CPT)
- Delhi (DEL) as of July 2026
- Hong Kong (HKG)
- Hyderabad (HYD)
- Los Angeles (LAX) as of June 2026
- New York (JFK) as of June 2026
- Rio de Janeiro (GIG)
- Shanghai (PVG)
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 nine 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 Allegris footprint continue to expand, as these planes are now operating a reasonable number of routes.
Do any OMAAT readers have plans to fly Lufthansa Allegris?
