Somehow they can fly faster if they want to. It happened to our FRA-SFO flight, the pilot said that we could catch up by arriving 2 hours ahead of schedule (it was delayed by 2 hours). It was a full A380 and if they can make it, LX can too.

They have to do it because they have very little turn around time at SFO as far as I know. So if they don't try catching up and minizing time, they will have to comp. the pax SFO-ZRH plus airport parking fee etc.
