In 2024, Allegris Business Class received the International Design Award, and in 2025, the German Design Award. The Lufthansa Business Class Suite includes sliding doors, higher walls, a monitor up to 68 centimeters, and ample personal space. Beyond that, all travel classes benefit from the Allegris design, with improved comfort on long-haul flights. In First Class, the “Suite Plus”  uses a double cabin, two wide seats, a sliding door, and more. Premium Economy has enhanced legroom, a fold-out leg rest, and a hard shell design that doesn’t affect other passengers when reclining.

For flights to the USA alone, customers can choose between five destinations from Munich. We currently have nine A350-900s with Allegris on board at Lufthansa, six of which already offer our customers the new, highly exclusive First Class. Overall, our new cabin interior is extremely popular with guests – with satisfaction rates in Business Class of well over 90 percent.”
