LUFTHANSA Delays A380 To Seoul & 747-8i To Boston

LUFTHANSA Delays A380 To Seoul & 747-8i To Boston

Lufthansa has updated their timetable to reflect a minor delay for the introduction of the A380 between Frankfurt and Seoul.    Originally planned for April 26, the A380 will now debut on the route on May 6, 2015.

As a result of this minor delay, Frankfurt – Boston will have the 747-8i delayed until May 7.   Originally, the 747-8i was set to begin flying FRA-BOS on April 27.

If your travels involve these days and routes, please check your assigned seats and make changes as needed since the A380 and 747-8i have ‘slightly’ different seating charts! 😉
