Lufthansa will introduce a new premium offering that will feature the airline group’s first-ever suites.
With more details to be released in early 2023, the new suites form part of the airline’s ‘Allegris’ product generation, which will feature new seats and experiences in all classes on its long-haul routes.
All forward-facing, the Lufthansa suites will boast 114 centimetre high walls with sliding doors and near-metre wide seats that can be converted into beds.
Business suites will feature personal wardrobe, 27-inch monitor, wireless charging options and direct aisle access.
In first class, passengers can change into their Lufthansa pyjamas in their suites, and will be able to dine with other guests at a large dining table.
According to the airline, economy flyers will experience “significantly more choice” including the option of booking first row seats that will boast greater seat pitch and the next generation of its Sleeper’s Row, which was introduced in economy on long-haul flights in August 2021.
Sleeper’s Row 2.0 will feature a fold-up leg rest and mattress that extends 40 per cent beyond the original offering. Additionally, economy passengers will be able to book a vacant, adjacent seat.
The new ‘Allegris’ service will be rolled out on more than 100 new aircraft, while already existing planes will be converted to accommodate the enhancements.
The upgrades form part of the largest fleet modernisation in the group’s history, with over 180 new short and long-haul jets to be delivered to the airline by 2030.
According to Lufthansa, the carrier will invest 2.5 billion euros in product and service upgrades by 2025, along with replacing more than 30,000 seats across its fleet.
Deutsche Lufthansa AG CEO and chairman of the executive board Carsten Spoor said the group wants “to set new, unprecedented standards for our guests”.
“The largest investment in premium products in our company’s history underpins our claim to continue to be the leading Western premium airline in the future,” he said.
