Earlier this week, Lufthansa announced a down-gage in aircraft that will affect service between Frankfurt and Seoul, South Korea during February and March 2016.
Beginning on February 4, Lufthansa will replace the 747-8i that typically flies the route with a 747-400. The 744 will be a 3-class (Business / Prem. Economy / Economy) aircraft and will fly between Frankfurt and Seoul until March 25 at which point the 747-8i is expected to return to the route. First Class will not be available on the route during this time.
Typically these changes are made to reflect the passenger loads that LH expects to see during this time of year and the 747-8i will be redeployed on busier routes.
PLEASE NOTE that First Class will still be available between Munich and Seoul during this time frame.

AUSTRIAN announced that Dubai is being removed from their timetable.
After 19 years of continuous service, Vienna-Dubai will end on September 13, 2015 (the last return flight from Dubai will be on September 14).
Citing competition and the fact that nearly 800 seats a day were available between VIE and DXB, Austrian has decided to focus its capacity on opportunities with new Miami, Colombo and Mauritius routes.
