Lufthansa today has sent their first Premium Economy equipped A380 into circulation when it departed Frankfurt and flew towards Houston.
For the next 2-3 weeks, Houston will see a fair amount of D-AIMF/Zurich (the specific A380 with the new PE seats). Beginning on April 9th, a Premium Economy equipped A380 will become a permanent fixture in Houston.
