Five Seat Types in One Cabin: Lufthansa A350-900 Allegris Business Class

Allegris features five different types of seats across the two Business Class cabins on some of Lufthansa’s A350s. At the beginning of 2026, we had the chance to experience Lufthansa Allegris Business Class on a flight from Munich to Newark.

Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 Business Class: Washington Dulles to Frankfurt

Flying on the upper deck of a Boeing 747 is on every aviation enthusiast’s bucket list. It’s a distinct bubble that makes up a passenger section towards the front of the aircraft. Lufthansa’s 747-8s feature 32 Business Class seats on the upper deck, which provide a completely different perspective on flying as a passenger compared to traditional single-deck widebody aircraft. This plane won’t be around forever, and getting to fly on the Queen of the Skies (let alone on the upper deck) is an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed out on.

Here’s our experience flying Lufthansa’s 747-8 in Business Class between IAD and FRA.

Air Canada Express CRJ-900 Business Class (YYZ to LGA)

A recent visit to Toronto in October was the perfect time for me to test out Air Canada’s short haul Business Class. I flew out from LaGuardia to Toronto Pearson onboard the airline’s A220 and decided to book a return flight on one of the regional jets. The airline’s mainline and regional jets offer vastly different Business Class experiences. Is Air Canada Express worth it? Or, should you try to seek flying one of the mainline Air Canada jets instead?

Nine Hours on a 767: United Polaris Business Class Between Venice and Newark

United operates an all-Boeing widebody fleet, with 767 aircraft primarily based at the carrier’s Newark hub. Majority of the 767s operating for United are of the -300 variant, which are the smallest widebodies (by size and number of seats) operating at United. However, the airline operates 16 of the slightly larger 767-400s. These jets mostly operate transatlantic flights between the East Coast and Europe. A recent flight on a seasonal route from Venice to Newark was the perfect chance for me to put United’s 767 Polaris product to the test.
