Lufthansa has unveiled an incredible new mile-high club-friendly long-haul cabin called Allegris, featuring a first-class suite with a honeymoon double bed and a giant 43-inch entertainment screen.
This suite, also known as First Class Suite Plus, consists of ceiling-high walls, a fully lockable door and two side-by-side, one meter wide seats that can be converted into a double bed. way for a couple to start their honeymoon.
Friends and business colleagues can book the suite – the seats can be operated separately so that one can be upright and the other horizontal – but it’s an experience best suited for couples: there’s no room divider for privacy, there’s a single table for dining and the huge screen is shared. However, each passenger has access to a tablet to watch movies and TV.
Allegris’ first-class cabin, designed by London-based PriestmanGoode, will be set up in a 1-2-1 configuration, with the Suite Plus seat in the centre. The seats on either side are for single travelers.
First class passengers also have personal wardrobes and seats that can be heated and cooled, says travel expert Rhys Jones of headforpoints.com that is ‘a highlight of other carriers’.
