From Frankfurt, Allegris will fly to Austin (AUS), Rio de Janeiro (GIG), Bogotá (BOG), Cape Town (CPT), Shanghai (PVG), Hyderabad (HYD) and Hong Kong (HKG) at the start of the summer flight schedule. From June, the destinations will be New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX), followed by Delhi (DEL) in July. The Dreamliner will also fly to Toronto (YYZ), Montréal (YUL), Lagos (LOS), and Malabo (SSG), with some flights initially featuring Allegris and others without.
