    A gorgeous plane suite where passengers get heated seats and a spacious double bed has been shown off by Lufthansa as part of its latest launch.

    We're seriously blown away by all of the amenities available in the new option – and you might be too.

    Lufthansa has just launched a long-haul cabin called Allegris and it's a first class suite with lots of extra trimmings that you don't normally get.

    It has an amazing 43-inch entertainment screen for watching all the latest blockbusters and there are personal wardrobes and heated seats to keep you comfy, reports the Mirror.

    High walls that touch the cabin ceiling and an entirely closable door means you can opt for complete privacy – this is especially useful when you turn the two side-by-side seats into a plush two-metre bed!

    The seats can be operated individually, so one person can sit and one person can lie down so you don't have to agree on when to go to bed.

    The Allegris first-class cabin will be arranged in a 1-2-1 formation, with the Suite Plus seat in the middle, and solo pods on either side.

    Jens Ritter, CEO Lufthansa Airlines, said of Suite Plus: "Every guest has their own understanding of premium, which is why we focus on maximum individuality and exclusivity.

    "The First Class Suite Plus conveys the feeling of privacy and individuality similar to a hotel room – only at an altitude of eleven kilometres."

    The Allegris business-class cabin also has heated seats which lie flat so you can spend a bit less for similar comfort if a bit less privacy.

    Parents can also take advantage of the business seat with baby bassinet.

    Some of the great other features include wireless charging, wardrobe, personal minibar and Bluetooth.

    The new airline's premium economy will also see an update.

    You'll bag a hard-shell seat which allows you to recline without bothering the person behind you.

    Wireless charging in the centre armrest and noise-cancelling headphones will also make kicking back and relaxing much easier.

    The new seating arrangements are to be installed in the airline's 787 Dreamliner before the end of 2023, with the A350-900 the first to introduce the new first class in 2024.

    The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, Boeing 777-9, Boeing 747-8 and the Airbus A350 will eventually see the Allegris set up installed.
