Lufthansa Allegris — Which Aircraft and Routes Have the New Business Class

Allegris is Lufthansa's new long-haul cabin, and it is a genuine leap over the old business class it replaces — a 1-2-1 layout with multiple seat types, including extra-legroom and suite options with doors, plus a redesigned first class. The difficulty is that Lufthansa is fitting it gradually, aircraft by aircraft, so on the same route you might get the modern Allegris cabin or the ageing seat it is replacing. The fare will not tell you which.

Which aircraft have Allegris

Allegris is being introduced on Lufthansa's newest and retrofitted wide-bodies, starting with the Airbus A350-900 based at Munich, and expanding to further new A350s, incoming Boeing 787-9 aircraft, and eventually the Boeing 777-9 when it enters service. New deliveries arrive with Allegris; older aircraft are being retrofitted over time.

What that means in practice:

- A given A350-900 may or may not have Allegris yet, depending on where it is in the retrofit and delivery programme. - Older Lufthansa business class — the previous 2-2-2 style seat without direct aisle access for everyone — is still flying on a large part of the fleet. - Because the rollout is aircraft-by-aircraft rather than route-by-route, a permanent "Allegris routes" list does not really exist.

Why the old cabin still catches people out

Lufthansa markets Allegris heavily, so travellers reasonably assume they will get it — then walk onto the previous-generation seat. This is the classic new-cabin trap: during any retrofit programme, the marketing runs ahead of the fleet, and the airline keeps selling every seat under one business-class fare regardless of which cabin is installed. The only way to avoid disappointment is to check the actual aircraft on your flight rather than trusting the brochure.

How to check whether your flight has Allegris

1. Note your flight number and the alternatives on nearby dates, especially flights out of Munich where the newest aircraft are concentrated.
2. Search the flight number on SeatRadar to see which aircraft have actually operated it recently.
3. A history built around the newest A350-900s or 787-9s is your best chance at Allegris; a route running older aircraft is more likely to be the previous cabin.
4. Because early Allegris aircraft are still being swapped around the network, re-check close to departure.

As the retrofit progresses, Allegris will become the default rather than the exception — but until it does, the aircraft on your specific flight is the only thing that settles it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which aircraft have Lufthansa Allegris? Allegris is being rolled out first on the Airbus A350-900, expanding to further new A350s, incoming Boeing 787-9 aircraft, and eventually the Boeing 777-9. Not every aircraft of these types has it yet, as the retrofit is ongoing.

Which routes have Allegris? There is no fixed route list because the rollout follows aircraft, not routes — it is concentrated where the newest jets fly, especially out of Munich. Confirm by checking the aircraft on your specific flight.

Will I definitely get Allegris if Lufthansa advertises it on my route? Not necessarily. During the rollout the same route can be operated by both Allegris and non-Allegris aircraft under the same fare. Checking the actual aircraft assigned to your flight is the only reliable confirmation.

How do I check my Lufthansa flight for Allegris? Enter the flight number on SeatRadar and review which aircraft types have flown it recently. A consistent history of the newest A350-900s or 787-9s is the strongest signal that Allegris is likely.
