Lufthansa has announced that it is bringing its long-awaited Allegris cabin products, including First Class, to its daily Singapore – Munich service from 26th October 2026, marking a significant upgrade for regulars on the Star Alliance carrier’s route.

The rollout comes just over two months after we covered Lufthansa’s return to Kuala Lumpur, which will see Allegris Business Class make its South East Asia debut on a five times weekly Boeing 787-9 service to Frankfurt, also from late October.

Singapore now joins KL as one of the earliest Southeast Asian markets to receive the new cabin, and uniquely will also see Allegris First Class debut, with the Munich service regaining a First Class section thanks to the A350’s recent makeover.

The new service

Allegris-equipped Airbus A350s will operate LH 768 from Munich to Singapore, and the return LH 769 from Singapore to Munich, daily from 26th October 2026, the start of the northern winter 2026/27 schedule.

The first ex-Munich service is on 26th October, with the first ex-Singapore departure on 27th October.

The carrier’s Munich route is currently operated by the A350, but fitted with Lufthansa’s older long-haul cabin products – meaning no direct aisle access in Business, and no First Class section at all.

The switch to Allegris-fitted aircraft is therefore a very significant upgrade on this route.

First Class returns to Singapore

Another headline here is the return of Lufthansa First Class to the Munich – Singapore service.

Lufthansa last offered First Class between Munich and Singapore on its Airbus A340-300s, which operated the route until it was suspended in October 2012 citing poor profitability.

When the route was relaunched in June 2022 with the Airbus A350, those aircraft were configured without a First Class cabin, meaning if you wanted to fly Lufthansa First Class to or from Singapore, the Frankfurt flight has been your only option.

That will finally change from 26th October 2026, when the carrier’s Allegris A350s with First Class take over the Munich service.

First Class was most recently available between Singapore and Frankfurt on Lufthansa’s Boeing 747-8, a product that returned to that route in October 2022 post-pandemic, but has been absent since the airline downgraded to Boeing 747-400 operation on that route.

The Allegris First Class cabin is configured 1-1-1 across just three suites on the A350, with floor-to-ceiling privacy walls and closing doors.

The middle suite is the so-called “First Class Suite Plus”, a private room measuring around 3.7 square metres which can be booked by couples travelling together, complete with a double bed.

Each suite features:

• A nearly one-metre-wide seat that converts to a fully flat bed
• A heated and cooled seat with personalised temperature control
• A personal wardrobe and full-size carry-on storage under the ottoman
• A large dining table with ‘buddy seat’ for restaurant-style dining
• A full-suite-width entertainment screen with wireless headphones
• Wireless charging and Bluetooth device pairing

We covered the new First Class concept in detail when Lufthansa first revealed it back in 2023, and the product has since picked up industry recognition, including the 2026 Red Dot Award.

With just three suites per flight, First Class redemption space is likely to be very tight indeed, and even then normally only to the airline’s Miles & More members.

Allegris Business Class

The Allegris Business Class cabin offers direct aisle access from every seat, finally bringing Lufthansa up to international standards in this cabin, and offers a range of seating options at different price points.

There are seven distinct Business Class seat types:

• “Business Suite” in the first row, with closing privacy doors and chest-high walls
• First-row double Suite for couples, with a retractable centre console to form a double bed
• “Extra-Space” throne-style single seats with additional work surface
• Extra-long bed seats (2.20 metres)
• Privacy window seats
• Window seats with baby bassinet
• Classic Business Class seat with direct aisle access

All seats feature 4K entertainment screens of around 17 inches (27 inches in the Business Suite), wireless charging, noise-cancelling headphones, and Bluetooth pairing for personal devices.

As we noted in our recent Kuala Lumpur coverage, seat selection isn’t without its quirks. The “Classic” and “Privacy” seats are free to choose, but the more sought-after options – including the Business Suite, extra-long bed, and Extra-Space throne seats – carry significant per-sector surcharges.

It’s worth considering if you’re comparing prices against competitors, or booking with miles as a couple, family, or solo traveller wanting extra space and privacy – it doesn’t come free!

New onboard service and Munich Stopover

The cabin upgrade is paired with Lufthansa’s new Future Onboard Experience (FOX) service concept, which launched fleet-wide on 6th May 2026 as part of a EUR 70 million investment in onboard service. The airline pitches it as one of its largest-ever investments in customer experience.

Singapore – Munich passengers will also gain direct access to Lufthansa’s Munich Stopover programme, launched in April 2026, which allows stays of between 24 hours and seven days in Munich packaged with tourist offerings, on the same ticket as the onward connection.

SIA joint venture

Lufthansa describes the deployment as a “major enhancement” of the Lufthansa Group – Singapore Airlines joint venture, which spans the Singapore – Europe market.

Singapore Airlines recently announced it was hiking its Munich service from daily to 10 times weekly from late October this year, including the introduction of a new daytime service to Europe and late-night departure from the Bavarian capital on selected weekdays.

Meanwhile Singapore Airlines will be making the opposite move on its Frankfurt service, with the Airbus A380 confirmed to downgauge for the NW26/27 season in favour of year-round A380 deployment to Melbourne. Nonetheless, additional flights will mean up to 20 weekly services on that route, to compensate for the loss of capacity.

Booking

Tickets for travel from 26th October 2026 onwards on the Allegris-fitted aircraft are not yet bookable at the time of writing, with the new seats yet to be loaded in Lufthansa’s reservation system. That includes First Class sales, which aren’t yet loaded.

Lufthansa says these should be available later today, so do check back if you’re keen to lock something in – the early days of a new premium cabin launch may offer some of the better fare and award space opportunities.

Booking with miles

KrisFlyer redemption rates between Singapore and Munich on Lufthansa flights are as follows, compared to routing on SIA flights.

KrisFlyer Saver Redemption Rates SIN to/from MUC (one-way)
		Saver	Advantage
Economy	52,000	44,000	79,000
Business	114,000	108,500	141,500
First	174,500	n/a	n/a

Do bear in mind that you’ll be on the hook for Lufthansa’s steep fuel surcharge as part of your award booking, adding around S$300 in Economy Class to the usual Singapore Airlines taxes and fees of S$65 on this route, though that may be worth it for those wanting to experience the new products.

Lufthansa is finally bringing its long-awaited Allegris cabin to Singapore from late October 2026, with daily Airbus A350 services to Munich being the recipient, including the return of First Class to the Munich route after over a decade.

Singapore joins Kuala Lumpur as one of the earliest Southeast Asian destinations to see the new product, which is now increasingly deployed on Lufthansa’s Allegris-fitted A350 fleet, and has now been picking up industry accolades, having been plagued by delays over recent years.
