Lufthansa laid out the plan in [its winter network announcement](https://newsroom.lufthansagroup.com/en/kuala-lumpur-houston-singapore-starting-in-october-lufthansa-will-begin-flying-to-new-destinations-with-allegris/). All the routes are on sale now.\n\n## New: Frankfurt to Kuala Lumpur\n\nThe biggest change is a new nonstop route from Frankfurt to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. It starts October 25, 2026, with five flights a week.\n\nLufthansa will fly the route with the Boeing 787-9. The plane has 287 seats in three cabins, all with Lufthansa's newer Allegris interior. Lufthansa will use the same plane and cabin on a new Frankfurt–Chennai route starting in March 2027.\n\nLufthansa hasn't said which lounge its passengers will use in Kuala Lumpur.\n\n## Allegris comes to more routes\n\nAllegris is the cabin Lufthansa introduced in 2024. It includes new seats in every class. Lufthansa says it was designed to give passengers in all classes a more personal trip, with new seat designs, better materials and newer technology.\n\nThis winter, Allegris will reach 11 more destinations. From Frankfurt, they are:\n\n* Vancouver\n* Houston\n* Denver\n* Atlanta\n* Detroit\n* San José, Costa Rica\n* Seoul\n* Kuala Lumpur\n\nFrom Munich, they are:\n\n* Singapore, from late October\n* Washington, from March 2027\n* Cape Town\n\nMost of these are routes Lufthansa already flies. What changes is the aircraft and cabin. If you have a trip on one of them this winter, check your seat map to see if your flight has Allegris.\n\n## More flights on busy routes\n\nLufthansa is also adding weekly flights on several routes this winter:\n\n* **From Frankfurt:** Rio de Janeiro, San José, Bogotá, Lagos and Hyderabad\n* **From Munich:** São Paulo, Mexico City, Johannesburg and Washington\n\nThe release doesn't give exact frequencies for each.\n\n## Changes at other Lufthansa Group airlines\n\nThe group's other airlines are adding routes too:\n\n* **SWISS** starts its first route to southern India, Zurich–Bengaluru. It also brings its new SWISS Senses cabin to Johannesburg and Shanghai on the Airbus A350.\n* **[ITA Airways](https://www.loungefrog.com/airlines/az)** adds a seasonal route from Rome to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Its Rome–Houston and Rome–[London Heathrow](https://www.loungefrog.com/airports/lhr) routes, added this summer, will keep flying this winter.\n* **[Brussels Airlines](https://www.loungefrog.com/airlines/sn)** keeps its new Brussels–Kilimanjaro route going through the winter. It flies once a week from October 28 to December 16, then twice a week from December 19 to February 21.\n* **[Discover Airlines](https://www.loungefrog.com/airlines/4y)** adds Frankfurt–Agadir and Munich–Fès in Morocco, plus a weekly Munich–Ivalo flight to Finnish Lapland from mid-December to mid-April.\n* **[Eurowings](https://www.loungefrog.com/airlines/ew)** adds Berlin–Kuusamo in Finland, a Berlin–Rome route from November 2, and Berlin–London Heathrow this winter.\n\n## Where I'd look for a lounge before you fly\n\nLufthansa's long-haul flights leave from its two hubs. In Frankfurt, Senator members and Star Alliance Gold members can use the [Senator Lounge (A)](https://www.loungefrog.com/lounges/fra-lufthansa-senator-lounge-a), rated 4.5 out of 5 by our users, or the [Senator Lounge (B)](https://www.loungefrog.com/lounges/fra-lufthansa-senator-lounge-b), rated 4.6. In Munich, the [Senator Lounge (G)](https://www.loungefrog.com/lounges/muc-lufthansa-senator-lounge-g) and the [K/L Satellite Senator Lounge](https://www.loungefrog.com/lounges/muc-lufthansa-senator-lounge-k-l-satellite) both have six showers.\n\nBusiness class passengers can use Lufthansa's Business Lounges at both hubs. See the rules on our [Lufthansa Business Lounge](https://www.loungefrog.com/programs/lufthansa-business-lounge) and [Senator Lounge](https://www.loungefrog.com/programs/lufthansa-senator-lounge) pages.\n\nOne change to note: since October 1, 2026, American Express Platinum and Centurion cards no longer get you into Lufthansa lounges. Amex and Lufthansa ended their lounge deal.
