Gradual rollout across Dreamliner fleet

The aircraft with registration D-ABPM, named “Potsdam”, operated the inaugural flight with the newly approved cabin configuration. In total, 25 of the 28 Business Class seats on the Dreamliner are now certified and available for booking. Additional Boeing 787-9 aircraft equipped with Allegris are already in service or are expected to follow within days, enabling short-notice bookings for departures from March 18.

Expanded network with new cabin experience

From Frankfurt, passengers can already experience the new Allegris Business Class on routes to destinations such as Austin, Rio de Janeiro, Bogotá, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Toronto. With the start of the summer schedule on March 29, further destinations including Cape Town, Shanghai and Hong Kong will be added. From June, New York JFK and Los Angeles will follow, with Delhi scheduled from July.

Flexible seating options in Business Class

Passengers booking Allegris Business Class can choose between different seating options. The Classic Seat, which includes all core features of the new cabin, remains available free of charge. Additional seat types offering enhanced comfort, such as the Business Class Suite, Extra Space Seat, Privacy Seat by the window and the Extra Long Bed with a reclining surface of 2.20 meters, can be reserved in advance for an additional fee.

Fleet expansion continues

Allegris has been operating on the Boeing 787-9 from Frankfurt since October 9, 2025. Lufthansa currently has ten of these aircraft based in Frankfurt, nine of which are already in service. The airline plans to expand its Dreamliner fleet to a total of 29 aircraft by the end of 2027.
