Lufthansa has begun updating their Winter 2017/18 timetable by announcing service changes to Boston, Miami, and Chicago.
First off, Munich-Boston will no longer have the A350 on the route beginning on October 29. Starting on October 29, until December 1, an A330 will fly the route each day. Beginning on December 2, and lasting until March 24, 2018, the A330 will fly the route on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday while the A346 will fly the route on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
A nice benefit to those of you flying the A346 will be the fact that you can book a first class seat for the cost of a business class seat since LH is technically not offering First Class on the route. Though you’ll have a first class seat, your inflight service will be business class, and no, you will not be able to access the First Class Lounges in Munich!
Between October 29 and March 25, Chicago will only see the A346 on flights to and from Munich. Currently LH is sending a combination of A333 and A346 aircraft on the route.
Miami will see a combination of the A346 and A333 beginning October 30. The A346 will fly the route on Wednesday and Sunday, while the A333 will fly the route on the other days.
