LUFTHANSA Re-Confirms Reduction In First Class Destinations

While I was away and a bit unreachable, Lufthansa re-confirmed destinations that will no longer have First Class cabins available for booking.

If you recall a few months ago, Lufthansa announced their initial list showing which cities would no longer see Lufthansa First Class cabins and later recanted the update and restored scheduled First Class service to some destinations.

However, LH has now provided an update that has brought these cancellations back to the timetable.   Most of the changes take place for flights beginning in December and First Class reservations will no longer be accepted after June 30 for these routes:

Munich – Boston:   First Class will no longer be available beginning January 3.

Munich – Charlotte:   First Class will no longer be available beginning December 1.

Munich – Delhi:   First Class will no longer be available beginning September 23.

Munich – Denver:   First Class will no longer be available beginning December 2.

Munich – Montreal:   First Class will no longer be available beginning December 1.

Munich – Mumbai:   First Class will no longer be available beginning December 1.

Munich  – Tehran:   First Class will no longer be available beginning December 1.

This appears to be the beginning of a trend especially in Munich as the 3-cabin Airbus A350 will begin to join the fleet in January 2017 and replace aging A340 and A330 aircraft.   The A350 will only have Business, Premium Economy, and Economy Class cabins.
