How to know which LH aircraft has FlyNet? [merged all about LH Flynet]

Anyone know if the Lufthansa SEA-FRA flights (A330s) have their new FlyNet in-flight internet?

Possible but unlikely.
According to http://www.lufthansa.com/online/port...d=3108158&l=en
Initially available on selected North Atlantic flights (to New York, Detroit and Atlanta (optional))

My understanding is that they are having some trouble with the legacy antennae connecting to the new satellite which has slowed the rollout considerably.

I haven't seen FlyNet on SEA flights, but I haven't traveled LH since November.

Anyone know if there is a list of aircraft or routes that are currently offering FlyNet? As far as I understand, it was initially supposed to be A330s that got access first. Anyone know if the other aircraft serving JFK or EWR have also been equipped yet?

JFK

JFK is equipped. I had it about a month ago on LH 401.

Its only on a few A330s (with the new antenna) which are deployed to JFK/DTW/ATL for now.

Yeah, I did too. But not the late flight out of JFK to FRA, which is a 747.

According to http://klarhorst.com/Liste.htm the following 333s have FlyNet2 installed:

D-AIKL (MUC based)
D-AIKO (MUC based)
D-AIKF (FRA based)
D-AIDM (FRA based)
D-AIKK (DUS based)
plus one 343 and three 346s.

You can check on sites such as http://libhomeradar.org/ which routes these birds have been flying recently, but the fact that FlyNet2 is equipped on certain aircraft doesn't mean WiFi is available. I think LH is only making WiFi available on certain routes for now.

My fingers are crossed for the potential for FlyNet on 13 March SEA-FRA. The date is coming up too quickly! They need to roll out faster.

As of right now looking at the planes and their schedules, SEA-FRA gets it about every 4-5 days it seems. The most consistent routes are FRA-JFK, DUS-ORD, DUS-MIA, MUC-CLT. MUC-IAD seems to do alright as well. 2 of the 3 MUC 333's have it. One of the FRA 333's seems to have rotated into DUS around the 15th.

They're a surprising amount of Mid-East/India runs on the flynet flee as well, which I thought LH would try to rotate those a/c through North American routes.

Granted IAD, CLT, YUL, TLV, and BOM are the only cities served by 333 from MUC, theroretically you have a 2/3 chance of getting one from MUC, and YUL has yet to see D-AIKL or D-AIKO this month.

I was on LH455 two days ago and it didn't have wifi. Given the info on this thread that 747s don't have wifi, it would be unlikely that SFO-FRA will have it soon.
