Lufthansa Allegris Routes – When and Where You Can Fly in the New Cabin (Updated)

For nine months now, Lufthansa’s new Allegris cabin has been in operation. The first two destinations were Vancouver and Toronto. We were on board the inaugural flight to Toronto and had the opportunity to test most of the Allegris seats, particularly the Allegris Extra Long Bed Seat and the Allegris Window Suite.

While the initial destinations like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal are no longer served with the Allegris cabin, Lufthansa has shifted its focus from North America to Asia. This shift offers significant advantages, which we’ll discuss later.

Allegris Routes for the Summer Schedule 2025

All routes are Munich routes, with a big focus on the USA.

As of now, it is still uncertain when the first Lufthansa aircraft equipped with the Allegris cabin will be available for flights from Frankfurt.

How to Know if Your Flight Has the Allegris Cabin

A sticker in the flight selection process will indicate an Allegris flight. You can also recognise Allegris-equipped flights by their seat maps, which vary by cabin class. Currently, the Allegris cabin is installed only on select Airbus A350-900s based in Munich, as well as Boeing 787-9 planes based in Frankfurt. If your flight uses a different aircraft type, it will not feature the Allegris cabin.

First Class

Allegris-equipped planes are easily identifiable in First Class. Airbus A350 planes with First Class tickets are definitely Allegris-equipped.

The upper/right section of Suite Plus is always greyed out in the online search. Couples are advised to contact the hotline directly for booking. Additionally, the A350-900 equipped with the Allegris cabin is the only jet in the Lufthansa fleet that features just a single row of First-Class seats.

Business Class

While it is not as straightforward, there are sufficient clear indicators to determine if you are flying with an Allegris cabin. The seat map is notably different due to its alternating 1-2-1 and 1-1-1 configurations, which contrast sharply with the previously used 2-2-2 or 1-2-1 (ex-Philippine Airlines A350) layouts.

Moreover, the total number of Business Class seats differs from other configurations. The Allegris A350 features 38 Business Class seats, compared to 48 in the classic Lufthansa A350 and 30 in the former Philippine Airlines aircraft.

Premium Economy

Identifying the differences in premium economy is a bit trickier. The Allegris cabin includes 24 seats arranged in a 2-3-2 configuration, with three rows of pairs by the windows and four rows of triples in the centre.

In other Lufthansa A350 configurations, there are either 21 seats (in rows 12-15) or 26 seats (in rows 9-12). This provides a clear distinction from the Allegris Premium Economy seats, which are located in rows 14-18.

In the Dreamliner, Allegris planes have 28 premium economy seats, while non-Allegris Dreamliners only offer 21 seats.

Economy

In economy class, there are also noticeable differences between the Allegris and the other A350 configurations. Due to the premium-heavy and space-intensive design of the Allegris layout, the economy class section begins at row 19 in the Airbus A350 (as opposed to row 14 or 16 in other layouts).

Additionally, Lufthansa has omitted the sixth economy class lavatory in the cabin configuration, meaning that, unlike the other two layouts, there is only one lavatory located at the rear left. In exchange, there are two additional seats on the right side in row 41. The other two configurations end in rows 42 and 45.

The Dreamliner has fewer differences. You can best recognise the Allegis Dreamliner by the 2 lavatories in the back of the plane, compared to only 1 lavatory in non-Allegris Dreamliners.

Which Planes Currently Feature an Allegris Cabin?

For aviation enthusiasts, there is a way to identify if a specific aircraft with an Allegris cabin has already been assigned to the planned flight, regardless of travel class, by checking the aircraft registration. The following aircraft registrations are equipped with an Allegris cabin:

Registration Name	Aircraft Type	First Class	Notes

D-AIXS Gelsenkirchen	Airbus A350-900	Yes	Delivered on Aug. 8, 2024

Can I Book Lufthansa Allegris Using Miles?

It is, in theory, possible to book most seats with miles on Lufthansa’s Allegris aircraft. However, First Class seats cannot currently be booked with miles. It is uncertain when—or if—this will change.

The bigger problem, however, is the availability. Most destinations, such as Tokyo, have almost no availability, and others, such as US cities, have ridiculously high surcharges. With the new dynamic pricing system, prices are quite variable, but the best option we could find for flying Allegris business class with miles was Budapest-Munich-Shanghai for 32,022 miles + HUF 130,800 (~€336).

Seat Reservation in Allegris Business Class

Finally, let’s briefly discuss seat reservations in the new Allegris Business Class. Only Classic Seats (aisle seats) will remain free for all business class passengers. Other seat types in Allegris Business Class can be reserved for free depending on the ticket type and passenger status.

The following seat types can be reserved without extra charges:

Seat Category	Business Saver	Business Flex	Senator	HON Circle Member
Classic Seat	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️
Extra Privacy Seat	€100 / €140 / €170*	✔️	✔️	✔️
Extra Space Seat	€130 / €170 / €230*	€130 / €170 / €230*	✔️	✔️
Extra Long Bed Seat	€100 / €140 / €170*	€100 / €140 / €170*	€100 / €140 / €170*	✔️
Suites	€400 / €500 / €600*	€400 / €500 / €600*	€400 / €500 / €600*	€400 / €500 / €600*

Additionally, there is speculation that upgrades to the Allegris Business Suites may soon be possible using eVouchers. However, an official announcement is still pending. Seat reservations in first class are generally free, but solo travellers will need to pay up to €2,900 extra to reserve the Suite Plus in advance.

The pricing structure for seat reservations in economy class is as follows:

Seat Category	Near	Medium	Far
Classic Seat	€30	€35	€45
Preferred Zone Seat	€40	€50	€55
Legroom Seat	€50	€60	€80
Extra Legroom Seat	€75	€90	€115

Conclusion

More and more routes now reliably feature the Allegris cabin, even though the rollout of new aircraft is progressing slowly. The cabin stands out across most travel classes compared to previous layouts, offering enhanced comfort, especially in business class, albeit often at a premium.

For those primarily interested in trying out the new cabin, mileage tickets for Allegris’ routes to Cape Town and Bengaluru are the most worthwhile. These destinations offer comparable flight times to North America but require roughly half the surcharges at the same mileage cost.
