Lufthansa, the flag carrier of Germany, has announced that it is set to launch its upgraded First Class cabins, Allegris First Class, that it says will set new standards in luxurious air travel.
In a press statement, Lufthansa says that this new First Class will include two individual suites and the suite plus, a spacious double cabin that offers travellers a comfortable double bed for couples or an exclusive private experience for solo passengers.
It also adds that each suite features nearly one-metre-wide seats with customisable temperature control, ceiling-high walls, lockable doors, and expansive storage space, including a personal wardrobe.
Further, it also says that passengers can also enjoy a massive 43-inch (97 cm) screen and wireless over-ear headphones, alongside customisable lighting to create a personalised atmosphere.
“We are completely reinventing the Lufthansa First Class travel experience with Allegris and making it even more exclusive,” says Jens Ritter, Chief Executive Officer, Lufthansa Airlines.
As per press statement, Lufthansa also plans to focus on enhancing the ground experience for First Class passengers, as the new check-in areas and renovated lounges in Munich and Frankfurt, to provide an exclusive and seamless experience.
Additionally, Lufthansa says it is also improving services across all classes, by offering unlimited free messaging on intercontinental flights starting this summer, alongside an innovative baggage tracking system using Apple AirTag technology.
According to the statement travellers will also get to experience the new cabin product in economy, premium economy, and Business Class on flights to New York-Newark starting in mid-April, and to Charlotte in North Carolina beginning in early August.
