- I note that all 10 are destined for LH itself.

- The 5 additional 359 are not due until 2027/28, so that must mean after, or as part of, the second batch of 20 (and there are still 8 more of the first batch expected from 2023)... So in other words, they won't be around for some time....

- For the 789 that (according to the press release) could be in service as early as this year (!), nothing is said about F / new C / etc... Crisis or not, it would be a fantastic opportunity for LH to finally introduce the new C and make a decision on 4xF... Though maybe the 5 already have another airline's cabin installed (which would in any case almost certainly be better than current LH C), in which case I guess they might just change the seat covers and stick LH on the bulkhead for now....

- I still wonder about the 5 x 789 from the 20 previously announced which are (presumably) not going to LH itself, as only 15 are slated for LH... Are they 763 OS replacements? Or 343 for LX? Or maybe for some Wings thing...?
