Just off LH790 MUC/SIN. Delighted on boarding to find it was D-AIFE so I got the new First. Excellent crew. Food generally good (althought the duck breast was too chewy). Only complaint about the seat is that it was a bit too hard. All in all a pleasant way to spend 11 hours in the air.

Does anyone know if they will be shifting some MUC based birds to FRA for the summer schedule? I will be flying YVR-FRA in April and am curious which A340-600 they will stick on that route (i.e. hopefully one with the new F!). Currently, the route is 2 class A343. Any ideas?

No. The logic is that if you can spend 4000+€ for the flight you can afford 19€ for wifi

One way
Of course using US Air miles you could do it for 8-900$ return, but lets not get too picky....

I think oliver2002 is referring to the cost of purchasing the miles (without having to actually fly US
) + fees, without any YQ (which Aeroplan charges now). 
Does Aeroplan sell miles?
Anyways, good news that the refit proceeds apace. 2015 isn't so far off now...

I got 100 000 US Air miles for 621$ this fall using the grand slam promo, thats my benchmark Buying that amount from US air is a little more expensive, but reasonably priced too. No YQ for LH operated redemptions on US Air award tix.
