Despite the rise of premium economy (and – on the other end of the spectrum – no-frills fares), first-class cabins continue to push the boundaries of comfort, exclusivity, and innovation. Two of Europe’s leading airlines, Lufthansa and Air France , are offering luxurious experiences with their newly unveiled premium offerings: Lufthansa’s Allegris First Class and Air France’s new La Première experience. Both airlines promise an elevated level of luxury, but how do they compare? This article takes a deep dive into the features, design, and overall experience of these two highly anticipated first-class cabins, helping travelers decide which one offers the ultimate in-flight indulgence.

The cabin features fully enclosed suites with floor-to-ceiling walls, offering passengers maximum privacy.
