Lufthansa's next-generation Allegris long-haul cabins entered scheduled service between Munich, Germany, and Tokyo, Japan, on October 27, 2025. The inaugural return, LH715 from Tokyo Haneda, pushed back at 10:45 a.m. JST the same day, operated by an Airbus A350-900 outfitted with the full Allegris suite of products. For travelers, the change means more privacy, more choice, and a consistent premium experience on one of Europe's key links to Japan.
Product Launch: Lufthansa Allegris On Munich-Tokyo
Allegris is Lufthansa's new cabin platform across all long-haul classes. On the A350-900 assigned to the Munich-Tokyo route, it introduces enclosed First Class suites, a two-person Suite Plus, reconfigured Business Class with higher partitions and doors in select seats, a Premium Economy with enhanced shells and storage, and refreshed Economy with upgraded seating and screens. The airline frames the program around personalization and privacy, noting strong demand among Japan-based customers for these features.
In a statement marking the Japan debut, Lufthansa emphasized that Allegris represents one of the largest premium investments in the company's history. The carrier positioned Munich as a five-star hub for premium connections, while pointing to the breadth of updates across cabins, not just in First.
Latest developments
The first schedule day featured LH715 departing Haneda at 10:45 a.m. JST with the Allegris-equipped A350-900. Live flight-status services reflected an on-time morning push and standard block time to Munich's Terminal 2, aligning with Lufthansa's published schedule. Travelers should continue to check their flight numbers, because early in a rollout period, airlines may sub fleets for operational reasons.
Analysis
For Japan-bound and Europe-bound travelers, Allegris changes the decision set in two ways. First, the hard-product step-up is visible in every cabin. In First Class, two individual suites sit alongside the central Suite Plus, a double cabin designed for companions who want to travel together. Each First suite includes a wide seat that converts to a bed of more than two meters, ceiling-high walls with a door, a large personal display, and in-suite storage, with temperature-controlled seating that can be warmed or cooled to preference. That is a direct answer to privacy-first competitors on the Asia-Europe corridor.
Second, Allegris scales beyond First Class. Business Class introduces higher surrounds and closing doors on select seats, plus multiple seat types to trade off direct-aisle access, work surface, or footwell space. Premium Economy adopts a shell approach to protect recline space, and Economy adds improved ergonomics and entertainment. For mixed-cabin travelers, or companies with travel-policy tiers, this creates more consistent upgrades across a trip rather than a single-cabin spike.
Background. Lufthansa has staged Allegris in waves on the A350-900 from Munich, then to additional long-haul aircraft. Early A350 frames were retrofitted starting in 2024, with First Class modules added thereafter. For the Tokyo route, deploying the A350-900 allows the airline to market a uniform experience on a dense business-and-leisure corridor where Japanese carriers and Middle East competitors already compete on privacy, suites, or doored business seats.
Seat selection and booking. Lufthansa has previously allowed advance suite reservations and paid options for specific Allegris seats on select routes. If a particular seat type or the Suite Plus matters to your trip, verify that your rotation shows an Allegris-configured A350-900, then choose seats promptly after ticketing. As with any new product, aircraft swaps can occur for maintenance or schedule integrity, so revisit your seat map as departure approaches.
What this means at the hub. Munich's position as Lufthansa's premium gateway is reinforced by the Japan deployment. For travelers connecting beyond Germany, the goal is fewer product mismatches between long-haul and intra-Europe segments and better lounge-to-cabin continuity. While soft-product details vary by route and time of day, the hard-product upgrade is the main traveler benefit on Munich-Tokyo, a market where privacy and personalization have high perceived value.
Final thoughts
Lufthansa Allegris on Munich-Tokyo Haneda is a clear, traveler-visible upgrade. If privacy, storage, and seat temperature control matter to you, consider the Allegris First Class suite or the Suite Plus, or target the refreshed Business and Premium Economy seats for a better night's rest. The rollout is underway, and early adopters on this route should see the full Allegris experience as more frames enter service.
