What are the benefits of Lufthansa business class?

Lounge access and priority boarding at the airport, additional free baggage and exclusive in-flight meals are waiting for you on board as a passenger in Lufthansa Business Class.



Lufthansa's 2026 Business Class, especially the new "Allegris" cabin, offers a highly personalized experience with all-aisle access and seven different seat types to choose from. Benefits include lie-flat beds with "shoulder sink-in" technology for side sleepers, noise-canceling headphones, and a 10-inch tablet to control seat functions like heating or cooling. On the ground, you receive Priority Check-in and Lounge Access, including the famous Senator Lounges. The service is "restaurant-style," meaning you can dine whenever you wish, and you are treated to premium amenity kits and a curated selection of fine German and international wines throughout the long-haul journey.
