I think that's a coin toss - depends on what other routes compete for this equipment. For instance, I'm flying KIX-FRA in early April. So far, the insistence of new F in that route has been >90% - but I just saw FRA-SIN is being changed from a 388 to a 744, and I somehow doubt they'd send old F to SIN over KIX (where it probably has been empty 70% of the time) - so I'm concerned now. In your case, much can happen between today and August.

I think I might be lucky to have a new F between YUL-MUC on March 22... not so sure for the MUC-HKG on the 23rd. And I definately hope that when I come back at the end of April SIN-MUC-YUL I'll be able to experience it. Crossed fingers!

Argh! I'm flying FRA-JFK in a few days and based on past patterns we at least had a fighting chance of new F. Now that is zero. Oh well, this way I can't have my hopes up and then be disappointed. I'm sure the service will still be great.

I am not getting it: why LH is moving all metals with the new F to MUC and depriving FRA from that advantage !!!!
What strategy they are are following and what they are trying to achieve in MUC ?
