Airbus A380
Best Seats on the Lufthansa Airbus A380-800
Lufthansa's reactivated A380 fleet operates from Munich. All eight aircraft are being retrofitted from February 2026, but note what they are getting: Lufthansa deliberately skipped Allegris on the A380 to avoid the certification delays that held up its other types, so these aircraft receive a different, simpler business class. The upgraded cabins debuted in April 2026 on Munich to Boston, Los Angeles, Washington Dulles and Delhi.
