D-AIHR Today April 5th DEL or LAX?
Hi there,
Wondering why flight24 shows this plane with 3 different flights on the same date?
It shows a round trip MUC LAX and then the same day it shows DEL.
Here is the link:

Any clue?

Just a note, those 7 destinations are not permanent but will rotate throughout the summer season, so don't expect to be definitely flying on DAIKP/Q/R if you are booked on those routes. Especially if one of them goes tech or delayed and has to be swapped. Don't forget it is only going to be a fleet of 3 aircraft!!! So don't expect miracles!
The following codes will be used to denote retrofitted A330s:
33P - New F
33Q - New F & C
The plan seems to be, to have around 18 destinations served by New F from MUC this summer.

A quick look at the 747 with new F and all the birds seem to have changed route focus since the start of April. Some routes that hardly ever got the new F no seem to be regularly flown,such as EWR. Others that were getting it have dropped off.
Is this coincidence or a planned schedule shift by LH?

[edit] actually, only one day now that I think of it. Tomorrow's LH740 departure determines what I fly on Sunday. Moment of truth! Today is D-ABVH.

How accurate is flight24?
For example when I look at LH405 (JFK-FRA) I see
LH405 was flown on 2012-04-05 by D-ABVN (B744)
LH405 was flown on 2012-04-04 by D-ABVW (B744)
But when I look for D-ABVN I see
DLH728 seen @ 2012-04-05 23:39 CET on route from FRA to PVG
DLH405 seen @ 2012-04-05 11:13 CET on route from JFK to FRA
DLH404 seen @ 2012-04-05 00:16 CET on route from FRA to JFK
Are the dates off by one or something?

So the chips have fallen, and looks like D-ABVK is flying LH740 today - so unless LH has parked an old config F at KIX for a month or more, and considering ABVH flew the previous day, looks like I'm getting a new config 747 tomorrow. Happy!
