Lower Deck (Current Phase)
- 48 Allegris business class seats installed in a 2-2 configuration on the lower deck.
- Layout alternates every other row, resembling United’s Polaris layout, due to the wider fuselage.
- These seats are bookable at a €300 surcharge, but many passengers may be upgraded to them at no cost due to high availability (60% of total business seats).🔗
Upper Deck (Planned Phase)
- Initially retains older business class seats (32 seats in 2-2 layout).
- In 2027 or 2028, the upper deck will receive the new Allegris seats in a 1-1 configuration due to the narrower space. 🔗
- The upper deck layout will be less spacious and will reduce overall capacity.🔗
First Class (Planned Update)
- The first class cabin in the nose will be updated with a modified version of the Allegris product, not the standard first class layout.
- No official details on seat count or configuration, but it will likely be a custom, non-standard design.🔗
