Lufthansa launches ultra-luxury Allegris cabins on India routes, enhancing first-class and business experiences.

Lufthansa is preparing to provide its passengers with ultra-luxury flying experiences as international travel from India rises. The German airline is launching its €2.5 billion ($2.7 billion) Allegris cabin renovation, which includes upscale first-class suites and premium business-class seats.

The Allegris luxury upgrades will soon be offered on flights linking India with international airports, according to Lufthansa. In the upcoming months, the new first-class and business-class configurations will be added on routes to Bangalore and Mumbai. At the moment, Allegris-equipped planes fly from Munich to Shanghai, Chicago, and San Francisco, and more routes are in the works.

From Munich to Shanghai, a first-class return ticket costs between €7,400 and €9,250, making it one of the most expensive options available. By launching flights to India, Lufthansa intends to take advantage of the growing market for ultra-luxury travel and position itself as a leading choice for affluent travelers traveling to and from India.

Lufthansa is now offering sealed first-class suites with floor-to-ceiling walls and closable doors for added privacy and exclusivity. The First-Class Suites have a one-meter-wide seat, a 32-inch 4K screen, climate control, Bluetooth, and a personal wardrobe. This suite is perfect for two people because Suite Plus has a 4.6-foot-wide double bed, a 43-inch entertainment screen, and fine dining options.

Depending on the route, single passengers can reserve the complete suite for an extra €1,900 to €2,900.
Additionally, Lufthansa is improving its European connectivity for Indian travelers by offering effortless flights to popular tourist destinations like Paris, Zurich, and Vienna. Primarily from elite Indian tourists and business visitors, the airline hopes to capitalize on the strong demand for luxury travel to Europe.
