Which Routes Feature Lufthansa Allegris?
In 2024, we saw Lufthansa’s new Allegris passenger experience take to the skies, several years behind schedule. With these cabins now flying, it’s understandable that people actually want to experience this product, and see what it’s like.

In 2024, we saw Lufthansa’s new Allegris passenger experience take to the skies, several years behind schedule. With these cabins now flying, it’s understandable that people actually want to experience this product, and see what it’s like.
In this post, I want to provide a rundown of the routes that currently feature Lufthansa Allegris cabins, and are expected to feature them in the coming months. As more of these planes enter service, more passengers also have the opportunity to experience this. Lufthansa has just published its planned summer schedule for Allegris, so we now have a lot more information.
What is Lufthansa Allegris?
Allegris is the name of Lufthansa’s new passenger experience. While Allegris branding applies in all cabins (and in the future, even lounges), it’s the new Allegris first class and Allegris business class that people are most excited about.
The new Allegris business class is probably the most exciting development, because for years, Lufthansa had an outdated business class product, but the airline has finally introduced a much more competitive business class experience. I had the chance to fly one of Lufthansa’s first Allegris flights, so you can read my impressions here.
We’ve also seen Lufthansa roll out its Allegris first class, though this has been a bit more challenging of a process. The initial Allegris A350s didn’t have the first class cabins installed, so we’re now seeing those seats retrofitted on all Allegris A350s.
Which planes have Lufthansa Allegris cabins?
In the coming years, the new Allegris passenger experience should become the norm rather than the exception. However, for the foreseeable future, you’ll only find the new Allegris cabins on newly delivered Airbus A350-900s. Lufthansa has already put nine of these jets into service, and we should progressively see more of these join the fleet in the coming months.
For those into tracking planes, D-AIXR, D-AIXS, D-AIXT, D-AIXU, D-AIXV, D-AIXW, D-AIXX, D-AIXY, and D-AIXZ, are the first six A350s flying with the new cabins.
We’ll see how the timeline evolves, but Lufthansa hopes to have 30 jets with Allegris cabins in service by the end of 2025, and plans to finish reconfiguring planes with Allegris cabins by the end of 2027.
Let me caution that I don’t think that timeline will stick, and that end of 2027 timeline also refers to reconfiguring planes that are expected to get the new cabins, as not all planes will get Allegris cabins.
Which routes feature Lufthansa Allegris cabins?
Lufthansa’s A350s are all based in Munich (MUC), so for the time being, you’ll exclusively find Allegris on routes that are to and from Munich. The product should become available out of Frankfurt (FRA) eventually, once the airline can put new Boeing 787-9s into service (these are delayed due to certification issues with the new Allegris cabins on that jet).
For the current winter season (through March 29, 2025), you’ll find the Allegris A350s flying from Munich (MUC) to the following destinations on select frequencies:
- Bangalore (BLR)
- Beijing (PEK)
- Cape Town (CPT)
- Chicago (ORD)
- Mumbai (BOM)
- New York (JFK)
- Shanghai (PVG)
For the upcoming summer season (starting March 30, 2025), you’ll find the Allegris A350s flying from Munich (MUC) to the following destinations on select frequencies:
- Bangalore (BLR)
- Charlotte (CLT)
- Chicago (ORD)
- Newark (EWR)
- San Diego (SAN)
- San Francisco (SFO)
- Shanghai (PVG)

Let me emphasize that aircraft assignments always remain subject to change, and don’t assume that all frequencies will necessarily be operated by Allegris A350s. If a route is scheduled to be operated by an Allegris jet, you’ll see that Lufthansa’s website has a note saying “Allegris: New seat concept” when making a booking.
Also remember that Lufthansa has fees to assign many types of seats in Allegris business class, given the huge variance in quality between the seats.
Bottom line
Lufthansa Allegris is increasingly becoming a reality, with the first nine Munich-based A350s featuring the new cabins now flying. Lufthansa is now regularly scheduling these planes on select routes, so it’s possible to plan your journey around the experience pretty reliably.
Ultimately don’t expect too much of an expansion of the concept beyond this until Lufthansa can get its Allegris 787s certified. When that happens, we’ll see a huge boost to Allegris capacity, as over a dozen 787s are ready to go, but are just awaiting certification.
