Lufthansa Unveils “Back Seat” Economy: Pay To Sit In Back Of Plane (Seriously)
Sometimes I wonder if Lufthansa is actually trolling the public. As most OMAAT readers are probably aware, the carrier is known for its Allegris business class having five different seating options (I think it was initially seven, but maybe they realized that sounded like too many). Well, Lufthansa is adding a new seating concept, including the new “First Row Seat” and “Back Seat.” The idea behind this arguably isn’t actually that unreasonable, but the way this is being marketed is downright strange.

Which Airlines Offer A “Business Class Plus” Product? A Growing Trend…
We’ve seen a trend whereby an increasing number of airlines are offering what I like to call a “business class plus” product, which is a special seating option within the business class cabin. While business class has come a long way in general, these seats can take your experience to the next level. I’d like to take a closer look at that in this post. Which airlines are offering this, why, and how much extra do these seats cost? In this post: Airlines do everything in their power to utilize space on aircraft efficiently. This can be

Lufthansa Expands Allegris seat availability on its Boeing 787-9 fleet
The “rollout” of Lufthansa’s “new” seat product – Allegris, continues to crawl along, with certification set to be granted to 25 out of the 28 seats aboard the Boeing 787-9 in Business Class. Allegris took flight in its first incomplete form in summer 2024 (with the first class product delayed). This was initially out of Munich with the Airbus A350. The second deployment of Allegris with their new Boeing 787 at Frankfurt Airport has been a little more troublesome, with the aircraft commencing operation in October 2025, with four business seats out of the whole cabin of

Lufthansa Finally Fixes Its A380 Business Class
Lufthansa is one step closer toward offering a more competitive business class product on its A380 with the debut of a new business class seat on its superjumbo jet. Lufthansa has debuted its first Airbus A380 (registration D-AIMC) featuring an all-new business class cabin, a long-overdue upgrade for the carrier’s flagship superjumbo. The first retrofitted aircraft entered service on April 23, 2026 operating from Munich (MUC) to Los Angeles (LAX) on LH452. Lufthansa’s existing A380 business class product was badly outdated, with a dense 2-2-2 layout and limited privacy. For a premium-focused airline that has spent years talking

Lufthansa’s Allegris Business Class on the 787-9 Is now Mostly Available for Sale
Earlier this week, German flag carrier Lufthansa crossed a major milestone in the rollout of its Allegris Business Class on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner: most of the premium seats are now open for booking for flights from April 15, 2026. This is a big deal because, since these new Dreamliners entered service from Frankfurt in October 2025, Lufthansa has been flying them with only 4 of 28 business-class seats certified for sale due to protracted regulatory approval delays. Allegris is Lufthansa’s new, highly customizable long-haul cabin experience, designed around five different seat types — from classic lie-flat seats to
