Lufthansa is adding its Allegris First Class experience to more long-haul flights. During the summer, passengers can enjoy the cabin on flights from Munich to San Francisco, Chicago, San Diego, Shanghai and Bengaluru. In addition, travelers can experience the new Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins on routes to New York-Newark (from mid-April) and to Charlotte (from mid-August).

Lufthansa began rolling out new cabins in mid-February, with nine Airbus A350-900s receiving the upgrade. Eight aircraft received the new First Class cabin. Since then, nearly half a million travelers have experienced the new interiors.
