LUFTHANSA Announces Additional A380 Destinations From Munich

LUFTHANSA Announces Additional A380 Destinations From Munich

Lufthansa has updated their timetable to reflect the deployment of the A380 to additional destinations from Munich beginning with the Winter 2018/19 timetable.

With their latest update, they’ve added Miami, Shanghai, and San Francisco to the list.    These destinations will begin seeing the A380 fly from Munich on October 28, 2018.

Earlier this summer, LH announced that the A380 would begin flying from Munich to Los Angeles, Beijing, and Hong Kong beginning with the Spring/Summer 2018 timetable.

A major reason for this transition is due to the fact that Lufthansa continues to retire their A340 fleet, which is primarily based in Munich.   With this vacuum in capacity, the A380 was the viable option to take the A340’s place.

LUFTHANSA Adds New A350 Destination

LUFTHANSA Adds New A350 Destination

A few days ago, Lufthansa announced that it will deploy the A350 to a new destination for the aircraft….

Beginning December 1, flights between Munich and Tokyo Haneda will be flown by the A350, replacing the A346 that currently serves the route.  This means that First Class will not be available on this route while the A350 is deployed to ‘HND’.   According to LH’s timetable the A350 is scheduled to stay on the route until March 24, 2018.

Flight numbers will remain the same.   LH 714 will depart Munich at 3:35p and arrive in Tokyo at 10:55a the following morning.   LH715 will depart Tokyo at 12:45p and arrive in Munich at 4:45p.

And in other news, if you haven’t noticed a change in the ‘Menu’ bar at the top of the page, have a peek at my new  ‘Safari Photography’ addition to the site.  It’s a work in progress with 100s of photos to come over the next few days and weeks.
