Welcome aboard Lufthansa flight 410, with non-stop service from Munich Franz Joseph Strauss International Airport to New York John F. Kennedy International Airport! Today we will be flying on one of the last Airbus A340-600s still in service.
Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Airbus A340 family was quickly shrinking with every tick of the clock. While most airlines that operated the Airbus A340 completely retired them as a result of COVID, Lufthansa recently decided to reactivate all of their Airbus A340-600s. Wanting to fly on an Airbus A340-600 before they became a thing of the past, I decided to book this flight on the return leg of my Spring Break trip.
In my opinion, while I enjoyed the flight and scenic views on it, the hard product is certainly deserving of an upgrade. Lufthansa's long-haul business class is certainly lagging behind virtually all of its competitors and I would only suggest flying them if your goal is to fly on a certain aircraft type with an impending future retirement.
