Lufthansa Relaunch A380 To Boston And New York

Lufthansa has announced the return of their superjumbo Airbus A380 from 1 June 2023. The airline originally had 14 of the aircraft but paused the service for 3 years during the pandemic. With 8 remaining, after selling 6, Lufthansa has decided to bring them back to meet surging travel demand and the delay delivery of their fleet of B787-9’s, which will feature the innovative new Lufthansa Business Class, ‘Allegris‘.

The first routes will operate between Munich and Boston and New York, with plans for 4 aircraft to be back in service by the end of 2023, all stationed in Munich, and new routes added. Daily flights will depart Munich on LH424 at 3:35pm, arriving into Boston at 6pm while LH425 will depart Boston at 8:30pm, arriving into Munich at 9:40am the following day. Daily flights will also depart Munich at LH410 at 11:55am, arriving into New York JFK at 2:55 while LH411 will depart New York JFK at 5:35pm, arriving into Munich at 7:15am the following day.

The A380 will provide 80% more capacity than is currently possibly on the A340-600 and will offer:

8 Lufthansa First Class open suites in a 1-2-1 configuration
78 Lufthansa Business Class seats in a 2-2-2 configuration
52 Lufthansa Premium Economy seats in a 2-4-2 configuration
371 Lufthansa Economy seats in a 3-4-3 configuration

While the Business Class seats don’t all provide direct aisle access, Lufthansa has a variety of Business Class products on differing aircraft and routes and can be booked on the Lufthansa Business Class Global Fare.

Seats on the Lufthansa A380 can be booked from 23 March 2023.
