OK, but quite strange that this was scheduled as a 340 and they have now changed aircraft. Perhaps advance bookings were not that heavy and they realized they could accommodate pax on LH and use the aircraft elsewhere. Wonder if it is related to the refurbishment of the 340s and the schedule for that? Was expecting the 340 to PVG in Dec to have the new cabin.
