Lufthansa Airlines has begun operating flights from Munich to Shanghai using Airbus A350-900 aircraft equipped with its new Allegris cabins throughout.
The Chinese city becomes Lufthansa¡¯s fourth destination to benefit from the new experience, following Vancouver, Toronto and Chicago earlier this year.
The aircraft features new Allegris economy, premium economy, business class ¨C where there are multiple seat types ¨C and first class cabins that are described by Lufthansa as ¡°a top-quality product that is unparalleled in the market¡±. The €2.5 billion upgrade of its long-haul cabins was announced in February 2023.
¡°Shanghai is currently the first Allegris destination in Asia. We aim to further enhance the customer experience onboard and strengthen our leading position on the China-Europe route,¡± said Jens Ritter, CEO of Lufthansa Airlines.
¡°Every guest has their own understanding of premium. This is why with the Allegris range we focus on maximum individuality and exclusivity and premium service along the entire travel chain.¡±
The airline says that three months since the introduction of Allegris on North America routes, customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
