In October 2025, we travelled from Prague to New York to try out the new Lufhansa Allegris Business Class on an Airbus A350.

We were connecting in Munich for a long-haul flight, so we were looking at one of the shortest flights in the Lufthansa network, a 266km flight from Prague to Munich.

How much service in business class can you get in about 30 minutes of pure flight time?

Buying business class

The Airbus A319 flight between Prague PRG and Munich MUC was part of a long-haul trip to New York.

I paid for the ticket with my miles from Aegean Airlines' Miles+Bonus program, details of which I discuss in this review.

If I wanted to buy a one-way ticket purely between Prague and Munich, usually the business class price is around 330 eur.

Check-in at the airport

Check-in is only at the Prague airport, there is no transit zone in Munich.

We are already at the airport 3.5 hours before departure, but since Lufthansa has several daily departures from Prague, check-in is possible all day.

We don't wait a minute at the priority counter and our luggage is checked through to our final destination.

Erste lounge and boarding

Business class passengers travelling with Lufthansa can use the Erste lounge in Prague free of charge, but only if the lounge is not full, which happens quite often.

The lounge is below average for major European airports and I describe it in detail in the Erste Lounge Review.

Boarding is standard by zone and the order of boarding is strictly adhered to.

We boarded in zone 2, one of the first to board.

Cabin and seats - European classics

Is it even worth describing business class on a European flight in detail?

Almost all airlines are the same. Standard seats as in economy class, but with the difference that the middle seat always remains unblocked and unoccupied.

Lufthansa is no different.

On European flights, business class passengers get no amenity-kit or other extra services.

Food during a 30-minute flight

While I didn't expect anything from the seats and comfort, I was really curious about the service.

The flight from Prague to Munich is really short and literally only a few minutes in the air.

After the crew got away with the first service - i.e. one small bottle of water - I became convinced that the food would be cut to an absolute minimum and we would get a box of chocolates at most.

But in the end I am very pleasantly surprised.

Immediately after boarding the flight level we get a full service. Unfortunately there is no choice, so everyone gets salmon with a tasty quiche and chocolate mousse.

On top of that, unlimited consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages - limited of course by the very short flight time.

Just before landing we still get a small stylish chocolate.

My rating

The hard product, i.e. the seats and cabin, is not worth rating at all. In this respect in business class too extra compared to economy class you only get a free seat next to you.

I was pleasantly surprised by the refreshments on such a short flight though.

The service was very professional and the crew managed to serve all business class passengers, including the repeat beverage service, even within a few minutes of flying level.

Of course, there is no point in paying business class on a flight from Prague to Munich, but as a connection on a long haul flight, for me a product that will not impress, but will not offend either.
