What Sets Allegris Business Class Apart

The Lufthansa Allegris Business Class is a giant leap forward in terms of passenger comfort and experience, with features that compete head-on with industry leaders. Whether you are traveling for business or leisure, this new cabin offers a refined and personalized journey. Here is what makes it truly special:

• Direct Aisle Access For Every Passenger: Lufthansa has finally moved to a 1-2-1 (ish) seating configuration, meaning no more stepping over your seat mate to reach the aisle. Each passenger enjoys direct aisle access, making boarding, dining, and deplaning far more convenient.
• A Choice Of Seven Seat Types: Recognizing that no two travelers are alike, the Lufthansa Allegris cabin offers seven different seat types to cater to individual needs:
  • “Throne” Seats: Extra privacy and workspace for solo travelers, ideal for business executives or anyone who values their personal space.
  • Double Seats: A great option for couples or families who want to sit close together.
  • Extra-Long Beds: For taller passengers, these seats offer extended length, ensuring a comfortable sleep.
  • Privacy Seats: These feature extra-high walls and partitions for those who value seclusion.
  • Family Suites: Positioned in the center of the cabin, these seats are perfect for groups or parents traveling with children.

• Fully Flat Beds And Premium Comfort: When it is time to sleep, the seats convert into fully flat beds up to 86 inches (220 cm) long. Each seat is equipped with adjustable firmness controls, allowing you to customize your comfort for a perfect rest. Add plush bedding, and it is a recipe for waking up refreshed, even on long-haul flights.
• Ultimate Privacy Features: Privacy has been elevated with features like sliding doors, high partitions, and staggered seat layouts. If you opt for the “throne” seat or the Privacy Suite, you will enjoy near-total isolation, a feature that business travelers and introverts alike will appreciate.
• Advanced Entertainment And Connectivity: The Allegris seat includes a 27-inch 4K ultra-high-definition entertainment screen, one of the largest in its class. For audiophiles, there is Bluetooth connectivity, so you can pair your own noise-canceling headphones. High-speed Wi-Fi ensures you stay connected, whether you are working or streaming.
• Thoughtful Storage Solutions: Storage can often feel like an afterthought in Business Class, but not with Allegris. Each seat comes with dedicated compartments for shoes, laptops, and personal items, as well as easy access to charging ports and USB connections.
• Sustainable And Modern Design: Sustainability is at the forefront of the Allegris design. Lufthansa has used eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to ensure the cabin is both luxurious and environmentally responsible. The color palette and textures create a calm, modern aesthetic that feels more like a boutique hotel than a plane.
• Tailored Dining Experience: Allegris is not just about the seat — it is also about the experience. Expect multi-course meals crafted with regional influences, served on elegant tableware. With an expanded menu and fine wines available, dining onboard feels more like eating at a high-end restaurant than in the sky.

These upgrades are not just superficial — they reflect the commitment of Lufthansa to reimagining the Business Class experience. With such a strong focus on personalization and comfort, Allegris Business Class is poised to compete with the likes of Qatar Airways Qsuite and Singapore Airlines Business Class.
