Lufthansa is significantly increasing the number of long haul services equipped with its Allegris cabin from Frankfurt for the summer 2026 schedule, following the full operational entry into service of the Allegris Business Class on Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
The first fully configured Allegris Dreamliner rotation with the expanded Business Class offer operated on 15 March 2026 between Frankfurt and Toronto, marking the transition from an initial configuration where only four Allegris suites were sold to a setup in which 25 of the 28 installed Business Class seats on the 787-9 are now commercialised per flight. The remaining three Business seats in this standard 28-seat Allegris Business cabin on the 787-9 remain blocked.
From the start of the summer 2026 timetable, Lufthansa is programming a broader set of long haul destinations from Frankfurt with Allegris-equipped 787-9s, including routes in North America, Africa and Asia such as Austin, Bogota, Cape Town, Shanghai, Hyderabad, Hong Kong and Los Angeles. The Allegris-configured 787-9s based at Frankfurt are limited to Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class, with no Allegris First Class cabin on these aircraft.
The earlier-than-expected Business seat certification on the Frankfurt-based 787-9 fleet is estimated to add more than 200 additional Allegris Business seats for sale around the Easter period on the affected routes, compared with the previous four-suite limitation. This step forms part of Lufthansa’s broader long haul product renewal plan, under which Allegris is being rolled out from Munich on A350s and progressively across the 787-9 and later 747-8 fleets, making the Frankfurt-based Dreamliners a central vector of the new cabin concept.
