Lufthansa (LH) has officially announced the deployment of its Allegris-fitted Airbus A350 aircraft on its daily service between Munich International Airport (MUC) — and Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), effective 26 October 2026, marking the commencement of the northern winter 2026/27 schedule. The rollout delivers a complete cabin overhaul on what is Lufthansa’s longest A350 route by great-circle distance, spanning 5,433 nautical miles (10,062 km), and restores First Class to the Munich–Singapore pairing for the first time in over a decade. [ Note that Singapore Airlines itself operates the longest route in the world using the A350s]
Singapore joins Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) as one of the earliest Southeast Asian markets to receive the Allegris product. Unlike Kuala Lumpur, which will receive only Allegris Business Class aboard a Boeing 787-9, the Singapore service gains the full Allegris cabin stack — including the coveted First Class — making it the sole Southeast Asian destination currently confirmed to receive Lufthansa’s most exclusive cabin upon the product’s regional debut.
Lufthansa Allegris Arrives on Singapore’s Longest-Running A350 Route
Allegris-equipped Airbus A350s will operate flight LH 768 from Munich to Singapore and the return LH 769 from Singapore to Munich, daily from 26 October 2026. The first outbound departure from MUC operates on 26 October, while the first ex-Singapore departure follows on 27 October.
The carrier’s Munich route is currently operated by the A350 but fitted with Lufthansa’s older long-haul cabin products. The switch to Allegris-configured aircraft therefore constitutes a substantive generational upgrade, not merely a cosmetic refresh.
The deployment of Allegris underscores Lufthansa’s continued investment in the Singapore market and strengthens connectivity between Asia and Europe through its Munich hub. Brendan Shashoua, Senior Director of Sales Southeast Asia and Pacific at Lufthansa, stated in the airline’s official press release:
“Singapore is one of Lufthansa’s most important gateways in Asia Pacific, and we are delighted to bring our award-winning Allegris experience to this important market. The introduction of Allegris reflects our commitment to delivering a world-class premium travel experience while strengthening connectivity between Singapore and Europe.”
First Class Returns to Singapore After More Than a Decade
The return of First Class on Lufthansa’s Munich–Singapore route marks a major upgrade for the airline’s long-haul offering. The route previously had First Class on Airbus A340-300s until 2012, but when the service returned in 2022 with the A350, the aircraft lacked a First-Class cabin.
The new Allegris First Class is limited to just three suites per aircraft, making availability particularly scarce. The center First Class Suite Plus is designed as a private room for couples and includes a double bed.
- Configuration: 1-1-1 across three First Class suites.
- Suite size: Suite Plus measures approximately 3.7 square meters.
- Seat: Nearly 1 meter wide, converting into a fully flat bed.
- Privacy: Floor-to-ceiling walls and closing doors.
- Technology: Large entertainment screen, wireless headphones and Bluetooth connectivity.
- Comfort: Personal temperature control and a private wardrobe.
- Dining: Large table with a buddy seat.
- Design award: The Allegris First Class Suite won the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2026.
- Designer: PriestmanGoode jointly received the award with Lufthansa.
- Couples pricing: From July 1, 2026, Lufthansa removed previous seat assignment fees and introduced a 50% discount on the second Suite Plus seat for couples.
- Award availability: Redemption space is expected to remain extremely limited, historically favoring Miles & More members.

Allegris Business Class Has Seven Seat Types and A New Privacy Standard
The Allegris Business Class cabin eliminates the most persistent criticism of Lufthansa’s legacy long-haul product — the absence of direct aisle access. Business Class introduces a new suite concept with direct aisle access from every seat, customizable seating options, and advanced technology features.
The cabin offers seven distinct seat types, including Business Suites with closing privacy doors in the first row, a double suite for couples, Extra-Space throne-style singles, extra-long bed seats measuring 2.20 metres, privacy window seats, window seats with baby bassinet provision, and a classic seat with direct aisle access.
All seats feature 4K entertainment screens of approximately 17 inches — 27 inches in the Business Suite — along with wireless charging, noise-cancelling headphones, and Bluetooth pairing for personal devices. Passengers should nonetheless be aware that seat selection is tiered by surcharge.
The more sought-after options — including the Business Suite, extra-long bed, and Extra-Space throne seats — carry significant per-sector surcharges. Charges for Business Suites can reach €400–€600 per sector, according to data from premium-flights.com, and passengers redeeming miles should factor this in when comparing against competitor offerings.
The FOX Service Concept is Lufthansa’s Largest Soft Product Investment in History
The physical cabin upgrade arrives in conjunction with an equally ambitious service transformation. FOX — which stands for Future Onboard Experience — was rolled out in First Class from 29 March 2026, and in Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy from 6 May 2026. Lufthansa has allocated over €70 million for this programme, describing it as one of the most significant investments in its customer experience in recent history.
The FOX service is a product of more than two years of research, development, and testing, incorporating feedback from over 9,000 passengers and 500 crew members, and including more than 110 test flights and 28 global menu presentations across 57 airports worldwide.
In First Class, the culinary programme was conceived by two-Michelin-starred chef Christoph Kunz, whose Munich restaurant Komu represents one of the leading voices in modern haute cuisine. Business Class passengers benefit from menus developed in collaboration with renowned chef Johann Lafer and can now order a second meal flexibly through the new “Sky Selection” concept — independent of the traditional service flow.
The cake service — featuring fresh cakes and pastries delivered as a deliberate signature moment during the flight — has a distinctly Lufthansa cultural touch. The FOX programme also introduced personalised amenity kits in First Class, allowing guests to select preferred care products from German manufacturer BABOR via an amenity menu presented individually at the seat.
KrisFlyer Redemption Rates and Booking Information
Tickets for travel from 26 October 2026 on Allegris-fitted aircraft became available for booking on 19 May 2026. KrisFlyer members redeeming miles on Lufthansa’s Singapore–Munich flights should note the following Saver redemption rates (one-way):
- Economy Class from 52,000 miles
- Business Class from 114,000 miles
- First Class from 174,500 miles.
Award bookings on Lufthansa attract a steep fuel surcharge — approximately S$300 in Economy Class on top of the standard Singapore Airlines taxes and fees of S$65 on this route.
Given that the Allegris First Class cabin accommodates only three suites per daily A350 departure, award availability is likely to remain scarce and concentrated in the earliest booking windows. Passengers wishing to book may do so via Lufthansa’s website or through a local travel agent.
