I'll post it anyway for the greater good, and the furtherance of :rolleyes: everywhere:

A333 cities: ATL, DTW, EWR, PHL, PDX, SEA
A346 cities: DEN, MCO
B744 cities: BOS, ORD, DFW, IAH, LAX, JFK, SFO, IAD.

I thought LH had 18 US cities, but that list is 16. Whatever.

What is the specific gripe about the LH 343? The Guru seems to say that it has some of the roomier Y seats in the LH fleet.

In coach I would rank the LH fleet in the following order :
A333
A346
A343
744

I can also post a similar list (from memory) of the routes and equipment KE flies to the US. :rolleyes:

That seems like as good a reason as any to do anything.

EWR currently gets the 346,343 and 744.

+1 My wife and I were on the LH 744 FRA-TLV. Thankfully, it was only about 4 hours. A POS was in the window seat and making life uncomfortable for us.:mad: On the way back we were on the LF 346. ^ We were in the (way)back of the plane. Didn't matter. 2-4-2 seating is ^. The lavs downstairs were :cool:.

I'm pretty sure they do EWR-MUC with a 343 or 346. Or there has been a 343/346 at EWR for no reason every time I've been there.

Is it a done deal that we're flying back from FRA? I remember hearing something it may change to MUC since that is where the moderator DO is.

ORD is a 744 city pair. Would rather avoid if I could help it. If Hartmann is uncomfortable in their Y cabin for that long, I'd turn into a mental patient. DTW is an A333, but US offers no same-day connection backtracking to PHL that I can find.

I briefly considered PDX, and CO.com beat that notion out of me real quick. It wanted to send me thru CLT, RDU, IND, and EWR in addition to IAH in various itinerary picks.

You're missing MIA.

I did the flight thursday night, EWR-MUC operated by a tres cuatro seis,
EWR-DUS is 343.
The MUC flight used to be 333 and maybe it changes to that in the winter.

It changes around. When I flew it in Jan it was a 333. I believe it is a 346 in the summer and the 343 serves EWR-DUS.

I believe it is from anywhere in Germany - your choice.

I will almost certainly be heading back from either MUC or TXL (via somewhere). That weekend is the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall falling so I may try to squeeze that in, too. :cool:

United has a DTW-IAD-PHL flight for $158 that leaves DTW around 7pm and gets into PHL around 11pm.

I can't believe they're flying a 744 DFW-FRA... That used to be a 343 and it was empty.

IAH has a 346 rgualrly, the star alliance painted one....
