Lufthansa has updated their timetable for the Fall/Winter to reflect a new A350 destination.
Beginning on September 12, 2017 the A350 will replace the A346 on daily flights between Munich and Hong Kong.
The flight details remain the same except for a minor time adjustment:
LH730 will depart Munich at 10:30p, arriving in Hong Kong at 15:35p the following day.
LH731 will depart Hong Kong at 11:15p, arriving in Munich at 5:20a the following day.
The TSA announced yesterday that electronics being brought aboard flights operating from or within the USA will be subject to additional scrutiny at security check points.
In the coming days and weeks, a new measure will be rolled out at airports that requires passengers to take out any electronics larger than a Smart Phone, and place them in a separate bin at security checkpoints. This includes items such as laptops, tablets, walkmans ( 🙂 ), any kind of camera, or camera lens.
This new process is not unlike what we’ve been accustomed to for years when it came to our laptops.
As I said the title of this post, things could have been much worse. Only a few short weeks ago we were staring at the spectre of having to put all electronic items larger than a phone into checked bags. I’ll settle for this new policy anytime if it means keeping my gear with me.
By the way, for those of us enrolled in TSA’s PreCheck, fear not, we don’t have to take anything out of our bags so it’s business as usually for us in that respect. This policy does not apply to us.
Lufthansa has added a new destination to the Americas beginning with the Spring timetable for 2018.
Beginning March 29, 2018, Service will begin between Frankfurt and San Jose, Costa Rica. Two flights per week will connect the cities and the route will be flown by Lufthansa’s mainline A340-300. The flights will operate on Thursdays and Saturdays.
The flight details are as follows:
Flight LH518 will depart Frankfurt at 1:45p, arriving in San Jose at 5:55p.
Flight LH519 will depart San Jose at 7:50p, arriving in Frankfurt at 3:10p the following afternoon.
This new route is open for booking via Lufthansa.com.
