New first class suites, the business class that it has been hyping for five years, and a whole are some of the things that will be included in the "Allegris" product generation.
The new first class suites are very attractive. A rich dark series of dark blue textures and materials mix with a coppery metal palette, textured blue-white overhead, warm woods and glossy stone-effect horizontal surfaces. There are two images provided, one of A seats and one of Outboard, with the hope of more options on the center pair.
The headline change is not only the doors but also the nearly ceiling-high walls that can be closed for privacy. This will be interesting to watch.
The renderings are marked in their filenames as "Voyager", which may be a sub-brand. What is the name of the class? Is this the newOZ QuadraSmartium? Five years have passed since the announcement of this product by the airline.
For a seat that has yet to be produced, and that still may not arrive for several more years, it looks narrow in the actual seating area, with flimsy armrests reminiscent of the late 2000s.
The implementation of the Solstys seat from Stelia and Sogerma in business class began in the mid-2000s and is still in use today. The product that was announced half a decade ago is not improved by this rendering.
The ZIMprivacy seat ordered earlier this year is a slide forward product that looks solid but with no direct experience.
The economy looks to be where the full market segment is going to be. In addition to regular economy seats, the airline is planning to sell ancillary revenue options when booking directly with the airline.
Free neighbour is basically a European business class offering. There is a hard-installed secondary tray table in the middle seat. The market for a no-neighbour product is dominated by curvy people who don't want extra hardware at their waist height. Implementation of the product will determine its success.
It sounds like the Air New Zealand Skycouch, with the promise of a fold-up legrest and additional mattress. There was no further information given.
There is only one image of economy, with a single blocky and square triple seat by the window of what looks like a Boeing 747 interior that looks quite unusual, it appears either not to recline or to have some sort of slide- forward/internal recline mechanism, with loose looped seat Renderings are pitched a lot. It will be interesting to see this product develop in its encounters with the real world, since it was rendered with a fingerprint sensor five years ago.
It looks like the Allegris brand will be for longhaul, replacing the semi-branding that Lufthansa has used. The airline says that 100 aircraft will fly to destinations around the world with the new "Allegris" service. With the delays in the delivery of the 777-9, it's likely that passengers will see a significant Crossover period.
In its press release of the four A350-900 and one Boeing 787-9 aircraft, which feature direct aisle access in business class, Lufthansa made quite a bit of money.
The airline claims that its passengers have always been promised premium and quality products. The appeal of flying Lufthansa is not the hard products but rather its large network presence and the above-average connection experience for the half of its hub operation flights located at the airport.
This is a mixture of depictions of different levels of attractiveness. We need to see the actual seats before we make a decision.
