Lufthansa have announced they are to operate an Airbus A380 to San Fransico from Frankfurt.
The equipment change occurs from 10th May 2011, replacing the 747-400 equipment that currently runs on this route.
Timings are:
LH454 DEPT FRA 09:35 ARRIVE SFO 11:55
LH455 DEPT SFO 14:20 ARRIVE FRA 10:05+1
San Francisco becomes the 5th A380 destination for Lufthansa who currently serve Beijing, Johannesburg and Tokyo (with New York service commencing in late February).
Whilst the 747-400 service is being swapped over with an A380 service, the A340 operated from Munich will remain.
It goes without saying that the clamour for redemption seats and seat blocks has probably begun…..
