BOSTON Will See More Of LUFTHANSA’s A350 During The Winter

Lufthansa has updated their Winter 17/18 timetable to reflect an increase of A350 use between Munich and Boston.   Before this update, LH planned to send the A350 to Boston only on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

With the latest update, the A350 will now fly daily between Munich and Boston at least for February and March.    So between February 3 and March 28, passengers will be able to enjoy the newest aircraft type in the fleet.

As it stands now the A350 will still fly the route daily from October 29 to December 1, but for the height of the holiday season in December and January, the A346 will do the heavy lifting on Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays.

LUFTHANSA Changes Its Mind About Boston And The A350

LUFTHANSA Changes Its Mind About Boston And The A350

Two weeks ago, Lufthansa updated their Winter Timetable which reflected the removal of the A350 from their Munich-Boston route.   The removal was slated for October 29, at which point a mix of A330 and A340 aircraft were scheduled to take over on the route for the winter.

With their update today, Lufthansa has walked back that decision and has extended the A350’s presence on Munich-Boston through the entire winter schedule.   However it will not be a daily basis.

The A350 will fly the route daily until December 1.    Then beginning on December 2, the A350 will only fly the route on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.   The A340-600 will fly the route on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Expect further tweaks to their timetable in the coming weeks.

Blizzard Delays Lufthansa’s A350 Debut In The USA

As luck (or bad luck) would have it, passengers scheduled to fly from Munich to Boston (and back) tomorrow had their flights cancelled due to the Blizzard bearing down on the Northeast corridor of the US.     What makes it worse was the fact that tomorrow’s flight from Munich was also the first flight of Lufthansa’s A350 to the USA.

With Lufthansa cancelling all flights to and from Boston, New York, Newark, and Philadelphia due to the weather on March 14, the debut of the LH A350 in the USA will have to wait until Wednesday, March 15.   Hopefully not too many ‘Avgeeks’ were lined up to be on this inaugural event!

Once that work is complete, the aircraft will be available for more crew certification flights over the next 3 weeks before entering revenue service.    According to LH’s schedule, that means that D-AIXB will fly to Boston on March 14.

This marks the second of Lufthansa’s initial 10 A350s that will be stationed in Munich.  Ultimately 25 A350s will join the fleet and will be stationed between Frankfurt and Munich.

LUFTHANSA:  New Senator and Business Lounges Set To Open In Boston

LUFTHANSA: New Senator and Business Lounges Set To Open In Boston

In another week or so, Lufthansa will be opening new Senator and Business Lounges at Boston’s Logan Airport (Terminal E).

The new lounge is part of a wider renovation that has been taking place in ‘BOS’ and the new lounges promise to be substantial upgrades over the previous versions.

What will be new is the fact that passengers can now board their flights directly from the lounge, similar to what is in place at airports like Washington Dulles.  So you can see your A350 from your seat in the lounge!

The 6,800 square foot lounge will also introduce a new concept to Lufthansa Lounges which focuses on separate ‘Living Areas’.    For example, this lounge will offer a separate Bar, Bistro, and rest areas.    The view promises to be fantastic as well as the lounge will over look Boston Harbor.
