Back onboard one of my all time favourite aircraft, the Airbus A340-600. Lufthansa bought a handful of these beauties back into service only a few months ago after a long grounding during the pandemic. I was almost certain they would never return, but here we are.
This was flight LH453 on July 12th 2022 filmed from seat 40A in the economy cabin.
Worth noting is that these aircraft have toilets downstairs. So in the middle of the aircraft there's a staircase from the galley leading to a small downstairs area with several toilets. Pretty cool actually. I did include a quick look around the area in the video.
Service wise, Lufthansa was nothing special it has to be said. There were no food choices like other carriers I fly with regularly. So just a single meal option for both dinner & breakfast which wasn't great. Also basics like soft drinks and wine with the meal were included, but all other drinks you need to purchase! On a longhaul flight. For a national carrier. The need to purchase snacks & drinks did shock me a little it has to be said.
Anyway on to the flight itself. On time departure from LAX we climb out towards the coast before turning left and back on ourselves over the top of Long Beach and climbing to 37,000ft. Passing Victorville plane graveyard. Over the top of Las Vegas. Before dinner was served and the sunset as we approached Canada. Into the night we crossed over Canada, under Greenland and over the Atlantic before sunrise. Then over Ireland, Wales, over the top of London before cloud cover blocks the view of mainland Europe before we start our descent into Munich.
