Lufthansa's €2 Billion New Cabin - Allegris A350 Flight

I joined the inaugural flight of Lufthansa featuring new Allegris products from Munich to Vancouver. The newly delivered Airbus A350 has a completely new cabin makeover.
Lufthansa unveiled its €2.5 Billion cabin upgrade program "Allegris" last year. There are 5 different seat configurations in Business Class including Suite, Extra Long Bed, Extra Space Seat, Double seat, and standard seat. Different seat will have a different experience! The video covers all seat configurations and new features such as in-seat heating/cooling by Caynova.
Lufthansa has invited a special guest; Dirk Nowitzki, a famous basketball player to try out the 2.2m long Business Class bed.
Next, I checked out the Lufthansa new Premium Economy seat which comes with a hard shell and slides forward instead of reclining backward. The new floor-to-ceiling First Class suite is still waiting to be certified and therefore not installed onboard.
Jens Ritter; CEO of Lufthansa is onboard and gave further information about Allegris. The new product is currently flying from Munich to Vancouver and Toronto. It will be available on flights to Chicago and Montreal in the summer.

Lufthansa will keep the A380 and will also renew the business class but not with a different reverse herringbone seat instead of Allegris. So don’t worry , Sam, you can continue flying Lufthansa‘s A380.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, if I remember correctly, they will use the staggered seat configuration that can be found on their ex-Philippine Airlines A350s.

Dirk Nowitzki, was the best part of this flight ✈️. Thank you Mr Chui 👍

You got the beautiful east approach into YVR! The initial tower clusters were Metrotown (front) and Brentwood (back) with the shot afterwards (with the curved building near the top) being Marine Drive (front), 49th Ave (middle) and 41st ave development (back with curved building). Then some glipses of Vancouver downtown in the very back! Gorgeous mountain views and the Lufthansa 747 to cap it off! I live near the airport and it's been a treat watching this A350 arrive and depart along with the 747 flying the summer service from Frankfurt. Great video!

It's great that they installed individual temp controls. A Major complaint has always been that Lufthansa keeps their cabins too warm, and this can be sickening on a long-haul flight.

[@johnchristmas7522]

As a Brit I have to say, its admirable that Lufthansa has tried so hard to please EVERYONE, which in itself is impossible. Sam has found something to complain about, compared to some airlines business class that I've travelled on, this is exceptional, the amount of room borders on first class. What this costs is more prevalent, as Sam says, you pay more for more. How much more? Seeing it all in the video, makes you wonder, where did they find all the space! Good video Sam.

One of the things that I respect about star alliance, in general, is that the staff is just as hospitable to someone in economy as they are to a media personality sitting in business or first. All airline staff is nice when the cameras are rolling, but it is refreshing to see that the standard across star alliance is to treat every customer with a warm welcome

[@fernbahn]

Interesting flight report and open words as a conclusion from you. The planned surcharge for seat reservations in business class is controversial. The suite is certainly worth an extra charge - but is a single row seat by the window, for example, also worth an extra charge? That's how it's intended. In connection with the high price level at Lufthansa (and compared to Emirates, Singepore without surcharges in business class) it seems a bit excessive.

Hi Sam - thanks for sharing a really cool video of the new Allegris makeover. I doubt that i will ever fly business class! I loved the views that you shared of the flight into Vancouver - it reminded me of when I was there a long time ago - I flew in from London, and then out to Frankfurt. The views of the Rockies and the Arctic region were really amazing. Just so beautiful. I thought that you might share the basketball player's experience after you landed - maybe you could post a comment? Thanks for sharing - really enjoyed it.

I flew Premium Economy on LH's A350 D-AIXU from YYZ to MUC a few days ago. It's quite nice. The only annoying thing was the touch screen of the IFE. Quite often I had to tap twice or thrice. Because a slight movement of the finger on the screen resulted in moving the screen content. This happens often when the flight is a bit bumpy. But that's complaining on "high" level ;) I really enjoyed the flight.
