Lufthansa has updated their Winter timetable for 2018 to reflect that the A350’s next destination will be Seoul, South Korea.

But before you get too excited, it appears (based on AirlineRoute.net) that it will only fly from Munich to Seoul twice.   Once on February 4, and then again on February 25, returning to MUC on February 5 and 26.

This schedule is not an accident, but reflects the beginning and ending of the Winter Olympics that will be hosted by South Korea next year.   No doubt that LH will use the A350 to bring German Olympians and their fans to the event and then take them home afterwards.

The flights will operate as LH718 departing MUC at 4:10p, and the return flight will operate as LH719 departing Seoul the next day at 12:30p.
