Many people had a tight connection yesterday because MUC was foggy and all incoming flights were delayed.
Our gate was H44.
I had only 10' in the FCL and I remember seeing one of the gentlemen. Actually his limo departed(to H38??) a few minutes before mine, and only arrived to the EWR plane around 20' after myself.
I wonder how it took so long for everybody to realize that he was not on the right plane.

Was the NRT flight in an outside position as well? I can't understand why they took the other gentleman to the NRT flight if it was parked at a gate...

2) Do not really know where the NRT flight was parked but I notice there were many A340 in outside positions and a bit of a "casino" with the limo allocation in the FCL. I guess too many planes departing at the same time in apron position.

Cant understand why LH has put all their 346 with new F to MUC.

It seems only fair that currently 7x A34X (soon to be 9), operate out of MUC.
Why would you give the priority to FRA over MUC? Clearly there is also a market for F class out of MUC, and therefore logical that LH also offers their best product out of this hub.

MUC has 22 A340/330 widebodies stationed there, 9 is a quite high proportion, also the 3 A330 coming in Q2 will tilt the balance further. I love it

I made a little typo in the old thread. These 744's are leaving (or already left) FRA this year: D-ABVB, D-ABTA, D-ABTB and D-ABTC. 5 747-8i with new F and J seats will join this year.

However, I believe SFO gets the A380 with guaranteed new F at certain times of the year.
