Lufthansa Names its A380 Routes
FRANKFURT, GERMANY — The German flag carrier Lufthansa has confirmed plans to bring back the Airbus A380, with the first destinations for the aircraft being in the United States. (www.airlinerwatch.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The A380 is a terrific airplane, comfortable and quiet. Flying from MIA to LHR on a BAW A380 in premium economy, I slept so well that when I woke up facing my female seatmate, I thought "who are you and what have we done?".
This doesn't make sense.... they have been flying the 380 into ORD and MIA for sure over the past year.
You may be thinking of the 747-8, as all the 380's have been in storage..
Negative. I am quite able to discern between a 380 and a 74. Stood on east side of the tri-state at ORD and watched one come in about 6 mos ago (it was a daily flight), and 3 mos ago took a picture of one sitting at their usual gate on the east end of MIA.
I chose to fly Lufthansa from Frankfurt to HK and back before Covid precisely because they used the A380, a very comfortable plane even in Economy.
The best for me remains the upper deck of the few 747-8 still flying. Small cabin, dedicated flight attendants=fast service and plenty of storage space for the window seats. Almost feels like being on a corporate jet...
