After a three-year hiatus, Lufthansa has announced that it would begin flight operations with the Airbus A380 on June 1.
Services from Munich to Boston and New York are the A380’s first two destinations. From June 1, Lufthansa will run the following daily service between Munich and Boston:
LH424: Munich to Boston departing at 3:35 PM and arriving at 6:00 PM
LH425: Boston to Munich departing at 8:30 PM and arriving at 9:40 AM (+1 day)
In addition, starting on July 4, 2023, Lufthansa’s A380 will depart every day for New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport just in time for the country’s national holiday, Independence Day.
With more First Class and Business Class seats, this move will significantly increase the airline’s premium offerings in its southern hub.
With 509 seats, the Airbus A380s has around 80% higher capacity than the Airbus A340-600, which is currently in service on the Munich-New York (JFK) route.
Eight First Class seats, 78 Business Class seats, 52 Premium Eco seats, and 371 Economy Class seats are available aboard the A380.
From March 23, 2023, reservations can be made for flights on the largest aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet.
“Due to the significant increase in demand for airline tickets and the delayed delivery of ordered aircraft, Lufthansa had decided in 2022 to reactivate the Airbus A380, which is particularly popular with passengers and crews,” said an airlines spokesperson.
