Lufthansa's NEW ALLEGRIS Business Class | Privacy Window Seat | Review

[@WannabeYANK]

I think Alvin is one of the most UNDERRATED KZbinrs on the whole platform. He is my FAVOURITE creator right now and he deserves 1M+ subscribers

[@onemoreweektogo]

Thank you so much!!! Means a lot! 😊😊

[@dlh716]

I think I've watched every possible flight review video on Lufthansa Allegris, in both English and German. And I've finally come across the most qualitative, detailed and enjoyable to watch. Excellent work Alvin! A very nice review, as usual!

[@onemoreweektogo]

You’re too kind! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@shelaghjackson9577]

Me too, and I agree.

[@lamontcranston4436]

Great video! Certainly a massive step up from Lufthansa. I do wonder about creating such an apparent hierarchy within the business cabin though, I'm sure it will frustrate their frequent flyer base.

[@onemoreweektogo]

I’m curious to see how they’ll be monetizing the different levels of seats 🤔

[@theshieldhero7062]

I saw Alvin's teasing this review on instagram and have been checking his KZbin channel regularly to finally watch a legit review of Lufthansa's new product. Better late than never as they say for Lufthansa as it has now leverage to really become a 5 star airline in Europe and finally compete with Air France, Swiss Air and KLM for the best airline in Europe.

[@onemoreweektogo]

They’re back in the game for sure! Thanks for patiently waiting for the video haha, I was trying very hard to to get it out ASAP!

[@IEngler]

It was worth the wait, I think. Watch Coby Explanes' video on the topic. It had to be designed in house to be unique and special.

[@karans9228]

Thanks for the review, however, I'd say its a 3/5 star business class. Tiny t.v, poor cabin color combinations, cheap looking materials and no special touches. There is a lot to be said for an airline that had Emirates, Ethiad, Oman Air, Qatar, All Nippon and Japan as examples of what to do.

[@tjittekamminga5170]

lovely video and lovely allegris BC (whishing `klm improves soon their ugly BC(

[@ZeljkoVidakovic-o3f]

I cant believe you have to pay for Wifi in business class?????? The obly good thing is the seat, thats all. Food was not good at all as well. Not worth pf money at all!

[@aviationmaneditsalt]

Wow.... Just watched the entire video. Just amazing. Great work Alvin!

[@louisleong-fg2tt]

Thank god they finally god rid off those ancient seats and replaced them with better ones

[@onemoreweektogo]

Hopefully they’ll roll it out to the fleet steadily!

[@MrTomcat104]

I personlly prefer retaining some physical buttons rather than rely on ipad style touch screen functions, but apart from that, I am impressed with the allegris product. Now how does the new allegris from Lufthansa compare to its business class competitors from BA, Air France, Swiss and Virgin?

[@onemoreweektogo]

There were definitely a few times during the flight where I preferred a physical button for sure! Having flown on BA’s new club world suites back from London, I think I’d still prefer that one more.

[@Tuukkohakee]

It seems to me that when it comes to just the basic seat, BAs, AFs and Virgins latest products do beat the classic seat present here, however if you do need an extra long bed, or need to travel with a baby basinet, or want the maximum amount of table space, then LH will provide that for you, for an extra charge of course. I’d say it truly depends on your needs, but for most people who do not need any of those extras this is not better than the competition, but is still a welcome step to catch up with the competition and a massive step forwards from the current cabins. 7 years ago this would have been an awesome cabin with great innovation, but it has taken too long to come out, while the competition has already gone further. A lot will also depend on how much they will charge for the different seat types. With the suites it does make sense to price them higher, but I truly hope the difference between the classic seats and the ”privacy seats” (the true window seats) will not be that high as on similar stagered layouts on competing carriers they would be considered the same seat when it comes to pricing. When it comes to Swiss, there won’t be much to compare in the future with the upcoming ”SWISS Senses” cabins, as they are identical when it comes to the layout.

[@MrTomcat104]

@@Tuukkohakee Ah yes, Lufthansa does own Swiss, now that you mention that.

[@cdtz82]

Thank you for sharing the Lufthansa business class review on the A350. I am glad to know Lufthansa business class upgrade isn't up to par compared to other competitors, especially for their price range. Overall, the aisle access and legroom design are a great, but found their Amenity package very cheap and stingy concept. I found it very surprising, they do not offer any slippers, and had not tablet option. I flew the A350 new business class from Munich to JFK, and I only receive the bag, and they didnt offer the pouch. Their standardization system is very poor. Overall, my experience was below par compared to other competitors, offering better business class experiences to JKF. Even their own group, LOT Airline offers the best business class experience in their Miles&More group at a lower rate as well.

[@tomtom9509]

I had the chance to try the new lufthansa's business class from San Francisco to Munich in a window seat (but not the same one, the one with the seat towards the aisle and the storage towards the window). My food experience was quite different. I don't know if there was a problem, but there was nothing beyond the pack of nuts served before 1 and half hour into the flight, which I found annoying given that we took off at 9:30pm. A welcome glass of champagne/avionics/etc. with an amuse-bouche or even just the nuts in the first half hour after take off would have been great. The meal was served on a tray with the amuse-bouche, starter and main dish alltogether. Even though, it was with real knife and fork, glass and crockery on a white cloth, the fact that it was served in one go on a tray made it look cheaper than it was. A pity rreally as it woudln't have cost much to serve it in 3 goes as in the video. Overall the food experience was ok but somewhat disappointing for a business class. The seat is great. Firmness is ajustable and the self-control heating/cooling is a very nice feature (the automatic tirne off after 10 min is a bit short though). You can really sleep rather well. The seat I had offered enough privacy IMHO (even thou on the aisle side) and a _lot_ of storage window side which was very handy to have all your stuff at hand (but not so good for taking a look through the window). Even though privacy was fine for me even aisle side, I wondered why they didn't add doors for all the seats. Doesn't seem like a very complex or expensive add-on. My only minor reamark about the seat is that I found that the foot rest was too far (ironic, isn't it?) and couldn't be reached unless in an almost flat mode. If you're not absolutely set on a seat type, I would advise choosing any "free" seat and then look up two days before the flight when changing for any seat is free. On my flight, all type of seats were choosable 2 day before take-off. As for the screen you can have both screen on at the same time. That worked perfectly well for me, the small one being your command or "plane camera view" screen and the main one showing your movie. Hence you don't have to interrupt the movie to change the light or seat setting. Overall the entertainement system was great. Basically my conclusion: excellent seat and seating plan, good entertainment but could do better on food , service and amenity kits. Is it worth the money ? Well that depends very much on the size of your purse. I would rather eat at a michelin 3 star restaurant and sleep at a 5 star hotel (several nights) than paying the same price for a 10h flight but if you can have both of course then it's worth it.

[@susipaterson8185]

Beautiful footage of the Arctic, Alvin. Nice product, though the food looked mediocre. I still miss the older livery: the gold makes the difference. Thank you, as always.

[@onemoreweektogo]

Thank you Susi! The old livery definitely was a classic

[@MeITellYou]

Even if LH is sponsoring he discloses ahead of time. Unlike a lot of these youtube ding dongs, especially the food clowns

[@riccardoman1973]

They arrived with a decade of delate but those R German. When you'll change also your cabin crews with peoples much better mannered and gentle? 😂😂

[@marten.travelling.11]

Interesting video. Thank you! Calm voice, very nice. But one thing: I don't want to see people that are eating, especially noodles... It never looks good.

[@bjamz115]

Great detailed review but this is such a strange layout choice by Lufthansa. 5 different seats for biz class is crazy and the cabin looks a bit messy.

[@catherinebassetti9005]

Hello! very very beautiful presentation, after watching so many others. One question: would you suggest sitting in the front lager cabin or the one further back? I read somewhere that the back had bin storage and the front did not. Thanks!

[@onemoreweektogo]

Yes for some reason the front cabin doesn’t have the storage bins in the middle. It makes the cabin feel a lot more spacious due to the higher overhead, but at the expense of less storage.

[@ricfermi5886]

😊 The perfect flight! Brand new 350-900, shipshape. Pristine service & meals. Smooth flight. The first 💯 flight of 2024! You're a lucky man 😁

[@jonwalker340]

Will they fit new Allegris on their B747-8 as well?

[@V1Rotate380]

I really enjoyed this Video! Great job Alvin! What’s your favourite aircraft?

[@onemoreweektogo]

Thank you! Probably the 777 or the A350 haha

[@semaex]

Filming a whole takeoff sequence without underlying music, only with the sound of the engines?? How dare you produce such good content!

[@onemoreweektogo]

hahaha, on the flip side i get comments like "how dare you leave the whole takeoff sequence in, so boring!"

[@danielx6960]

I went out of my way to try one of the first Allegris flights as well, found it rather underwhelming tbh. The seats are years late, after all. Food and service were average. I like the color palette though lol. And the lavatory finishes were nice. The only thing I found interesting was the seat heating/cooling. The cooling actually worked pretty well, glad I got to try it out before it all breaks... The front-row business suites do look a lot better than most of the "business plus" type seats that are trending nowadays, but I can only think about how that contributes to an uneven business class experience between seat types. And I had the same experience with only being able to use one of the 2 screens at a time. What an appallingly horrible design choice.

[@onemoreweektogo]

Sounds like we had a very similar experience of it! 😄

[@RobR7499]

Your choice of music helped to elevate the classiest of the video, in my opinion. Well done!

[@onemoreweektogo]

Thank you!! Glad it worked! 😄

[@saumyasadh7046]

are all the A350-900 new? with new business class and premium seats? How can I tell if the flight i’m taking as the new seats or not? example Lufthansa LH 767 Economy Airbus A350

[@onemoreweektogo]

I think there’s only two aircraft that have the new seats currently. It will take a while for all the aircraft to be retrofitted.

[@MH-gh]

OMG amazing video as we always expect from you👌🏻 …& at last, great to see what looks like a good Business Class product by Lufthansa

[@onemoreweektogo]

Appreciate it! Thank you!!

[@yvr2002rtw]

Did you get to see the single row of economy class seats at the front of the plane that are being used as placeholders for the new First Class seats that haven't yet been certified?

[@pierrenine5775]

Thanks for another beautifully crafted feast for the eyes Alvin. I do like the new Allegris product, and it`s certainly an overdue step-up from the old Lufthansa business class product.

[@onemoreweektogo]

Thank you for the support Pierre! 😊

[@kc4699]

for a special launch, i have to say that the food looks really disappointing, particularly when Lufthansa are clearly capable of more, given their first class offering.

[@onemoreweektogo]

Yeah… they definitely could have done better there

[@cdt996]

Have you tried a classic seat? They look terrible and dont give privacy

[@onemoreweektogo]

I didn’t get to sit in one as both flights I took were fully booked. Only got to try the other “Extra Space Seat” on the return flight. But yeah those seats are the least desirable, and in future they’ll be priced accordingly I suspect.

[@Mario-ch9nl]

@@onemoreweektogo priced accordingly? Soon when you buy a ticket you get a classis seat. If you want to have a better one you have to pay extra for reservation, or hope for a chance at online check in.

[@chick-flick-cherry]

Seems like a revenue grab rather than a consumer driven design. Creating a class system within Business Class is ridiculous... There are not enough letters in the alphabet... J, C, D, R, I... Also, I am sick of seats designed for tall men. You are 5'7" and could not reach the foot rest. The average woman is 5'4". As you pointed out, the inability to simultaneously use the tablet and the monitor is inexcusable. I can do that with my laptop and phone. Speaking of ancient technology... a headphone jack? Apple got rid of it in 2016. I want to use my own wireless, noise-cancelling earbuds that hold only my personal bacteria. By the way, I was thrilled that you used the hot towel as intended... to clean your hands... not to bathe. Further evidence of the revenue grab: unappealing food, elegant descriptions for unimaginative wines, garbage amenities kit, no sleep attire, no real bedding... only a lousy blanket... and outrageous internet fees. Sadly, the consumer is dead. Killed by shareholders who empower overpaid CEOs. That's my rant.

[@doujinflip]

Some newer IFE systems have a bluetooth connection for your own headset, but even the syncing process has extra steps involved. I just plug in a bluetooth dongle that’s already linked to my own headphones. Luckily the Allegris seat looks to have a single headphone jack that doesn’t require a dual-mono adapter.

[@dianneboatsman1864]

Thank you Alvin! This is how we will be flying in June and it helps a lot to understand the many features :). Happy Travels

[@PWC67]

Hooray ! Another win for the customer with straight leg seating and sleeping positions, unlike the Singapore A380 !
