January 27, 1994 marked the day that the first Airbus A321 joined Lufthansa’s fleet. Nicknamed ‘ Finkenwerder’, D-AIRA has been in service ever since and was the first of 63 A321s that would join the fleet over the last 21 years.
The initial order of 20 A321s was delivered between 1994 and 1998 with the last of the batch, D-AIRY, being in delivered on November 4, 1998. Since then, 43 additional A321s have joined the fleet and are all currently in service.

What should come as no surprise, SWISS has cancelled their flights that will be affected by the Winter Storm set to impact the Northeast on Monday and Tuesday.
The following is the list of flight cancellations thus far by SWISS for January 26, 2015:

Their press release only referred to the above flights, however I suspect that their Zurich-Boston service will be cancelled as well:

No word yet from Lufthansa, Brussels or Austrian, however I suspect all of their flights for the Northeast to be cancelled for January 26 and January 27.
If your flights over the coming days are affected, please use this link to find your local SWISS customer service center so that you can be reaccomodated.
