Lufthansa to Debut Allegris Business Class on Canadian Routes

For years, Lufthansa has been planning to debut the Allegris economy, premium economy, business class, and First Class seats.

The launch of Allegris has faced many setbacks since the concept was first announced in 2017, due to delays with manufacturing and supply-chain issues, amongst others.

However, Lufthansa has now revealed that it will launch the Allegris business class cabin on two Canadian routes, beginning in May 2024.

Lufthansa to Debut New Allegris Business Class on Canadian Routes

Beginning later this year, Lufthansa will debut its newest Allegris business class cabin on two Canadian routes.

As announced in an email sent to HON Circle members, the first Airbus A350 with Allegris business class will fly from Munich to Vancouver, beginning in May 2024.

An exact date hasn’t been set, and it’s worth noting that the Allegris seat map has yet to be loaded on any flights, and won’t be made known until shortly before departure.

As it stands, Lufthansa operates a daily non-stop flight between the two cities, according to data from Cirium, an aviation analytics company. 

However, Lufthansa doesn’t expect to offer Allegris on all flights at the outset, due to “operational reasons”. This means that there won’t be a 100% guarantee that you’ll be on a flight with the Allegris cabin, at least soon after the launch.

Beginning in May, Lufthansa will confirm the availability of Allegris seats on flights starting later in Summer 2024, which is when it will also launch the product on the daily Munich–Toronto route.

When the product is launched, passengers will be able to choose from a variety of seating options within the Allegris cabin, including The Business Suite, the Extra Space Seat with additional room, the Privacy Seat by the window, or the Extra Long Bed with a 2.20m reclining area.

Typically, passengers would have to pay extra for a special seat; however, it’s believed that no additional fees will be charged until the availability of the Allegris cabin is made available in advance.
