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.

Lufthansa has taken delivery of their 3rd Airbus A350, D-AIXC, in Toulouse, France today. The aircraft is scheduled to be flown to Munich tomorrow where after a short period of fine tuning, will join ‘XA’ and ‘XB’ in daily service.
The delivery of the latest A350 makes it possible for Lufthansa to begin using the A350 on its Munich – Mumbai beginning on April 15. Ultimately 25 A350s will join the fleet and will be stationed between Frankfurt and Munich, as aircraft such as the A340 are phased out.
@LufthansaNews shared a few images from the official registration decals being applied to ‘XC’ earlier today:

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!
