Lufthansa is set to introduce its new Allegris First Class on November 9, marking a significant upgrade in its long-haul cabin offerings. The first flights will head to Bangalore on November 9 and Mumbai on November 15, with these destinations being served alternately by the new First Class.

The Airbus A350-900 will feature two individual suites and the unique Suite Plus. Initially, Lufthansa plans to showcase this innovative product to select loyal guests before gradually making it available for upgrades and bookings as more aircraft are equipped with the new class.

The First Class Suite boasts features such as customizable seat temperature control, ceiling-high walls with lockable doors, a large table, wide seating, a personal wardrobe, and individual lighting options. The Suite Plus offers enhanced comfort for solo travelers while allowing travel partners to share a suite.
