LUFTHANSA has announced that it will be adding to their US destinations.
Beginning on April 29, passengers will be able to fly between San Jose, California and Frankfurt. The new service will operate 5 days week (No service on Tuesdays or Thursdays) and will be be flown by a ‘mainline’ 3-class (Business / Premium Economy /Economy) A340 aircraft until June 30 when the route will transfer to Lufthansa’s ‘Cityline’ division.
Once under Cityline it will still be flown by an A340, but a higher density version as far as passenger capacity is concerned. Fewer Business Class and Premium Economy seats will be available once that transition takes place on June 30.
The flight details are as follows:
Flight LH488 will depart FRANKFURT at 10:40a and arrive in SAN JOSE (SJC) at 1:40p.
Flight LH489 will depart SAN JOSE at 3:20p and arrive in FRANKFURT at 11:35 the following morning.
Booking is now open on this new route!
In addition to this announcement, LH has made several other updates to the timetable for next year. I’ll provide that info in a post later today.

Beginning tomorrow, October 16, Lufthansa passengers who visit the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt will be greeted by 3 new ducks that have been added to the wonderful collection.
What is great about the new additions is the fact that they are theme based and are targeted toward ‘certain’ kinds of travelers.
The 3 new ducks are the ‘Frequent Flyer Duck’, the ‘Baby Duck’, and the ‘Birthday Duck’. Each will be given out based on the passenger:
THE ‘FREQUENT FLYER DUCK’: Is available to all passengers who visit the ‘FCT’ but will be available for a limited time only (while inventory lasts):
This duck is ready for his flight!
The ‘Baby Duck’: This special duck will ONLY be given to passengers traveling with an infant or small children.
The ‘Baby Duck’
THE BIRTHDAY DUCK’: This unique ‘ente’ will be given ONLY to passengers who are visiting the FCT on their Birthday.
The ‘Birthday Duck’
Please note that these ducks are exclusive to the ‘FCT’ and will not be available in any other of Lufthansa’s First Class Lounges. If you want these for your collection you’ll need to visit the FCT and hope that you ‘qualify’ to get one. If you need help figuring out a strategy to gain entry, let me know!
Looks like I’ll have to borrow someone’s baby for a flight on January 25! 🙂
