A380 in JFK March 17

So this is sort of old news but no one jumped on it, or I am the only having seen it ...

I tried to get on the flight, they are still working on it...

I am sorry but this has been discussed here

The A380 is actually arriving on March 17th in FRA and going outbound to JFK on Monday March 19th. This is also stated in the link you posted...

Tell us if you are succesfull and get a booking on that flight. It will be interesting to hear from your experience ^

I think only Lufthansa and Airbus employees are on the flight. Maybe you are lucky, to get on the flight.

The article also mentioned it will stop in Washington. Whom should I call to find out what day it will be here?

Thanks!

I think SQ had the first flight with passengers this year. Now it seems, that LH had invited some customers for the flight. Serious. I can´t believe. I had done every quiz on the SQ homepage to get a ticket for the first flight and now I can see, that passengers have already flown with the A380.

Hey, I am booked on SQ26 FRA-JFK on the 19th. Should I give them a call and tell them they have a chance to win me back if they let me sit next to you on this flight? I would even skip an F seat on SQ for that.

LH will try the A380 to JFK 19-21/3, HKG 23-25/3 and IAD 26-28/3 (I believe one of the trips was actually three nights but don't remember which).
