Flying Lufthansa to India: Routes, Frankfurt & Munich Hubs, and the New Allegris Cabin
Lufthansa's Airbus A350-900 flies nonstop between Bengaluru and Munich, among other Indian routes.
Key Takeaways
- Lufthansa connects five Indian gateway cities to Germany: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
- Delhi and Mumbai connect nonstop to Lufthansa's two German hubs, Frankfurt and Munich; Bengaluru also has direct Munich service, while Chennai and Hyderabad route primarily through Frankfurt.
- Combined Lufthansa frequency between India and Germany exceeded 55 flights a week as of March 2026, with Delhi alone accounting for 21 weekly rotations.
- Lufthansa's new Allegris cabin — its most significant product redesign in years — is rolling out on Frankfurt–Delhi and Frankfurt–Hyderabad Boeing 787-9 flights starting winter 2026–27, with Frankfurt–Chennai following in March 2027.
- Frankfurt and Munich both connect onward to Lufthansa's wider European and transatlantic network, useful if India is one leg of a multi-city trip.
Lufthansa runs one of the more comprehensive European networks into India — five gateway cities split across two German hubs — and is in the middle of rolling out its newest cabin product onto several of those routes. Here's what's actually current for 2026.
Where Lufthansa Flies in India
Lufthansa connects five Indian cities directly to Germany: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad (Lufthansa Group Newsroom; Lufthansa: Additional Flights for Summer 2026). Delhi has nonstop service to both Frankfurt (FRA) and Munich (MUC); Bengaluru also flies nonstop to Munich alongside its Frankfurt options; Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad route primarily through Frankfurt. Combined weekly frequency between India and Germany passed 55 flights as of March 2026, with Delhi alone contributing 21 weekly rotations (HappyFares: Lufthansa Review 2026).
The New Allegris Cabin: Not on Every India Flight Yet
Allegris is Lufthansa's newest long-haul cabin redesign, and it's rolling out gradually rather than fleet-wide. On the Boeing 787-9, a full Allegris configuration carries 28 business class seats, 24 premium economy, and 231 economy; on the Airbus A350-900, the configuration adds 4 First Class suites alongside 38 business and 24 premium economy seats (Lufthansa Group: Lufthansa Allegris). Starting with the winter 2026–27 schedule, Lufthansa is deploying Allegris-equipped 787-9s on Frankfurt–Delhi and Frankfurt–Hyderabad, with Frankfurt–Chennai following in March 2027 (The Videshi: Lufthansa Is Rolling Out Its Best Cabin to India).
The practical takeaway: most Lufthansa flights to and from India today still fly the airline's previous-generation cabin, not Allegris. If flying Lufthansa's newest business class or First Class suite matters to your trip, ask our team to confirm whether your specific route, date, and aircraft have been upgraded before booking — Allegris availability is expanding route by route, not all at once.
Frankfurt and Munich: Hubs and Onward Connections
Frankfurt (FRA) is Lufthansa's larger hub and the default routing for most Indian cities; Munich (MUC) is smaller but offers direct India service on Delhi and Bengaluru. Both hubs connect onward to Lufthansa's wider European and transatlantic network, which can be useful if your trip includes a second European city alongside India — routing through Munich instead of Frankfurt is sometimes worth comparing if your onward city is served better from one hub than the other.
When Should You Book?
Demand into Lufthansa's Indian gateways follows the broader India travel pattern: Diwali, the December holidays, and the May–July summer window are the tightest for fares and premium-cabin seats, and that's compounded on routes where Allegris has just launched, since early adopters tend to book the new cabin out first. Shoulder months typically offer more schedule and fare flexibility.
Fare Observations
We don't publish a single "Lufthansa fare" here, since it varies too much by origin city, travel date, and cabin to responsibly hardcode. Instead, we compare a Voldeluxe-sourced quote against an online search benchmark for your specific route and dates — the same approach we use across our route-specific flight pages, several of which name Lufthansa as a common connecting carrier, including Newark to Delhi, San Francisco to Bengaluru, and Chicago to Delhi.
