Lufthansa's €2 Billion New Cabin - Allegris A350 Flight
I joined the inaugural flight of Lufthansa featuring new Allegris products from Munich to Vancouver. The newly delivered Airbus A350 has a completely new cabin makeover.
Lufthansa unveiled its €2.5 Billion cabin upgrade program "Allegris" last year. There are 5 different seat configurations in Business Class including Suite, Extra Long Bed, Extra Space Seat, Double seat, and standard seat. Different seat will have a different experience! The video covers all seat configurations and new features such as in-seat heating/cooling by Caynova.
Lufthansa has invited a special guest; Dirk Nowitzki, a famous basketball player to try out the 2.2m long Business Class bed.
Next, I checked out the Lufthansa new Premium Economy seat which comes with a hard shell and slides forward instead of reclining backward. The new floor-to-ceiling First Class suite is still waiting to be certified and therefore not installed onboard.
Jens Ritter; CEO of Lufthansa is onboard and gave further information about Allegris. The new product is currently flying from Munich to Vancouver and Toronto. It will be available on flights to Chicago and Montreal in the summer.

Lufthansa will keep the A380 and will also renew the business class but not with a different reverse herringbone seat instead of Allegris. So don’t worry , Sam, you can continue flying Lufthansa‘s A380.

Lufthansa will get you home on time and alive, but their food sucks. I’m a HON Circle Member, so I’ve been around the block a lot with Lufthansa, and boy, is their food getting worse.
Dirk Nowitzki, was the best part of this flight ✈️. Thank you Mr Chui 👍
Haha, great seeing Dirk enjoy his retirement. Dudes a NBA legend and so down to earth lol.

In terms of service you can't really say they're backwards. Because it was never as bad in the past.😂
Good to see the new product, finally! What I don’t like are the different seat options in Business. Dirk from Würzburg, a true legend!
That 350 cockpit looked seriously impressive! Very modern and clean!
I really enjoyed how you captured the take-off visually and the sounds as well. All your vlogs and Facebook postings are enjoyable.
You got the beautiful east approach into YVR! The initial tower clusters were Metrotown (front) and Brentwood (back) with the shot afterwards (with the curved building near the top) being Marine Drive (front), 49th Ave (middle) and 41st ave development (back with curved building). Then some glipses of Vancouver downtown in the very back! Gorgeous mountain views and the Lufthansa 747 to cap it off! I live near the airport and it's been a treat watching this A350 arrive and depart along with the 747 flying the summer service from Frankfurt. Great video!

Port Mann Bridge as well. I live in Surrey. My workplace is below the bridge in Coquitlam.
OMG the eyes of the Lady of the crew, that blast of beauty.
Such a unique business class layout! Great way to demonstrate those long seats with Dirk lol
This is so awesome Sam, thanks for sharing!
It's great that they installed individual temp controls. A Major complaint has always been that Lufthansa keeps their cabins too warm, and this can be sickening on a long-haul flight.
Your Silk Way West videos are amazing...!
Thanks for your great video! I appreciate the detailed report. 👏
So amazing to see a product I've worked on (monument) finally fly !!
Great content as always.
Amazing. Can't wait to fly onboard of this Aircraft in this new cabin class.

Nice to see an airline flying their newest product to my hometown YVR. Traditionally, YVR always got the oldest business class products and I have to go to LAX, JFK etc to fly newer products.

Great video Sam. I really like the way you included other KZreadrs and Dirk. Incredible good work!
I absolutely love the extra long seats! A welcome change for a tall man like me.
This looks amazing
I have a few health issues over the last few years, it's limited my flying, can not thank you enough, watching your Vlog cheers me up.
I haven’t watched it yet but i can already tell it’s gonna be a banger!
I'm so happy to hear the 747-8 will be seeing these updates as well, long live the Queen of the Skies.
Flew LH FRA-YVR in 2013. The most beautiful flight in the world. Deep into Greenland, the whole Canadian White North and the Rockies. Perhaps the world's only flight that takes off and lands at the same time. Always remember that flight.
Great job Sam 😊😊❤
Always impressed with Lufthansa!
that looks awesome sam!
Great video, Well.done I love watching your Aircraft reviews!
every day, i see AIRBUSS, i understand the quality.
Cool!!! I can't wait to try out these new business suites... such a step up from what they have now.... especially for the single traveler.
I love the A350 what a great vid!! Good job Sam ❤❤
Finally on the level of other business class products 👍🏼 cant wait until it is widely available in 3-5 years
Beautiful Cabin On A Beautiful Air Craft.Great Video And Info
Thank you for this great video, Sam. You are showing the best of aviation. Lufthansa will have a true gamechanger product which puts it on a new trajectory. A bit of color change and it will beat BA. 😁
thanks for the video
Súper vídeo, thanks and congratulations
Hi Sam, thank you for all your videos.. :) You were the reason why I went to Tahiti in February last year.. because I saw how nice it was on your trip.. I didnt plan it at all.. So if you keep doing what you do, I might follow another random beautiful places around the world.. And also I need to mention, that flying over Rockies is one of my favorite views everytime.. I live not very far from Vancouver so I am plannig to create a video from cessna or another airplane and fly the whole Frasier valley.. Good luck

Hi Sam - thanks for sharing a really cool video of the new Allegris makeover. I doubt that i will ever fly business class! I loved the views that you shared of the flight into Vancouver - it reminded me of when I was there a long time ago - I flew in from London, and then out to Frankfurt. The views of the Rockies and the Arctic region were really amazing. Just so beautiful. I thought that you might share the basketball player's experience after you landed - maybe you could post a comment? Thanks for sharing - really enjoyed it.
So awesome seeing Dirk Nowitzki!! What a legend and super Lufthansa convinced him to join lol 😂
OMG Dirk Nowitzki is a legendary basketball player!!! I watch NBA because of him!!!
I’m 214cm tall, so that extra legroom suite is made for me! Fantastic!
LEGEND, it's DIRK!never left his team to chase rings and still dogwalked the miami big 3 when they were underdogs. truly amazing.
The Allegris product is classy rather than decadent. Good job Lufthansa Airlines! We’ll see you soon…. :-)
Beautiful cockpit
Hi Sam, many thanks for new Allegris overview. It would be lovely to see a loo review on these new A350
As a Brit I have to say, its admirable that Lufthansa has tried so hard to please EVERYONE, which in itself is impossible. Sam has found something to complain about, compared to some airlines business class that I've travelled on, this is exceptional, the amount of room borders on first class. What this costs is more prevalent, as Sam says, you pay more for more. How much more? Seeing it all in the video, makes you wonder, where did they find all the space! Good video Sam.
Sam! Thanks for posting this video
Oh WOW this looks CRAZY!
Wonderful review - thank you! ~Homesick for Vancouver~
Awesome job sam with the airplane vlog drop a like
Dirk Nowitzki, Travel.TV and Sam Chui in the same Video. Genius for a german like me
Dirk ist einfach großartig!
Wow, emazing.. extra long seat. Economi class is good
One of the things that I respect about star alliance, in general, is that the staff is just as hospitable to someone in economy as they are to a media personality sitting in business or first. All airline staff is nice when the cameras are rolling, but it is refreshing to see that the standard across star alliance is to treat every customer with a warm welcome
The flight attendant is beautiful. She has gorgeous eyes
everything looks very good which is better than before but most of the features already exist in other products
I can not wait to see emirates A350-900 from inside 😍😍😍 thank you sam for this video

Very nice colour scheme.
So beautiful that A350 Flight deck. I only had the honor to fly A330/340 first generation and B777 which was like Oldtimers against this. Cabin looks awesome.
Wow interesting video boss appreciate 😊❤
wow - now i saw everything. Sam, Dirk & YourTravelTV in one video.
Very cool! ✈️ 👍 Looking forward to the Swiss A350. 🤩
What a cool concept Sam. Thanks for bringing it to us. I hope you had an opportunity to enjoy Vancouver. I noticed that CEO identified the first Allegris flights will be to other cities here in Canada including Toronto and Montreal. Any reason for Canadian destinations being at the top of the list? Cheers...Jim
Joy of Mr.Sam.
Wonderfully 😊
The best thing about Sam Chui's videos is the complete reference to airplane meals.
The cabins are stunning. Love the minimalist German style.
Thanks for sharing
I can't wait to fly in the new Lufthansa Allegris A350!
16:57 no complain going straight 😅❤ sweet
The business class seats look so much better then the ones on the A380...they were outdated, horrible and a lot of them were broken during our flight.
Im happy the 747-8 will be upgraded
I really enjoyed it n really awesome
Sam you´re the best.. regards from panama
Get em Dirk!!
Interesting flight report and open words as a conclusion from you. The planned surcharge for seat reservations in business class is controversial. The suite is certainly worth an extra charge - but is a single row seat by the window, for example, also worth an extra charge? That's how it's intended. In connection with the high price level at Lufthansa (and compared to Emirates, Singepore without surcharges in business class) it seems a bit excessive.
Great vlog Sam. Bhaskar CEO
Hi Sam! I really love your videos, I always get excited when I See you posted. Do you mind trying Air Algérie 🇩🇿 ?
I’m more of fan reclining into someone’s face 😂😂 Sam is too funny
Nice video! I heard the Business Class Suit door initially failed EASA certification which was another reason for delaying the product launch.
Great video Sam! I hope that the Lufthansa 747-8 will have the new Allegris cabin product by this winter when I fly the LH 747-8 and 747-400 in Biz class! 😅 Cheers 🥂 to a GREAT, MODERN CABIN on Lufthansa! Do you know if and when it’ll be installed on the 747 fleet?
Great review! Beats ANY domestic airline!
Great video, thank you, Sam, and congratulations for the great sharing of experience! Please allow me a side question, and excuse the bother: I am visiting Dubai for new year 2025: do you have any recommendation for accommodation? Any useful hint or website would be great, thank you!
