On Monday (March 16, 2026) Lufthansa announced that they have received certification for 25 Allegris Business Class seats on the Boeing 787-9. Yesterday, Sunday, March 15, 2026, the Dreamliner with registration number D-ABPM and the name ‘Potsdam’ flew from Frankfurt to Toronto with 25 certified seats in Business Class.  Lufthansa’s remaining eight 787-9s equipped with Allegris are also already in service with approved seats as of today, or will take off by Wednesday at the latest.  Bookings for these seats on flights departing from March 18th are available immediately.


For the current winter schedule, Allegris Business Class equipped Boeing 797-9s are available on flights from Frankfurt to Rio de Janeiro, Bogotá, Austin, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Toronto.  When the summer schedule begins on March 29th, the 787-9 will fly to Austin, Rio de Janeiro, Bogotá, Cape Town, Shanghai, Hyderabad, and Hong Kong.  From June, additional destinations will include New York-JFK and Los Angeles, followed by Delhi in July.  Allegris has been flying the Boeing 787-9 out of Frankfurt since October 9, 2025.  Currently, ten brand-new aircraft have arrived in Frankfurt, nine of which are currently in service.  In total, Lufthansa Airlines plans to have 29 Boeing 787-9s by the end of 2027.

 

When booking, Lufthansa customers now also have the option to select special Allegris seats in Business Class.  Reserving a Classic Seat remains free of charge, and the seat offers all the benefits of the new travel class.  Optionally, passengers can book seats with additional comfort, including the Business Class Suite, the Extra Space Seat with extra legroom, the Privacy Seat by the window, and the Extra Long Bed with a 2.20-meter reclining surface.  These special Allegris Business Class seats can be booked in advance via the seat reservation system for an additional fee.
