The Allegris economy class seat has two product upgrades.
"Sleeper's Row 2.0" will be located in the first rows of the cabin and will have a greater seat pitch. A mattress is provided in the upgrade to the original Sleeper's Row. The concept sounds similar to Air New Zealand's Skycouch, which has received rave reviews over the years.
The second upgrade is that travelers will now be able to purchase a vacant seat next to them, which will give them more room.
The Allegris hard product is an upgrade for the German airline and has been in the works for many years. The challenge is to overcome the supply chain challenges that have plagued similar projects recently. Once the airline reveals more information, come back to TPG for more information.
