I think it’s likely they will sell F to DXB... Why would they not? They did before from MUC on 346...

No LAX service is a little surprising and disappointing.

nope. 359 was on the schedule with no F. Once it updated to 346 then F and A (and O ) became available.

In the past at some stage, LH did operate MUC-DXB with 346 and they did sell F on it. I don’t have exact dates but it’s “yep” instead of “nope”.

A346 seems to be one of the best bets for availability in O now. Needed to get rid of some eVouchers that would expire at the end of 2022 and found seats that immediately cleared (from C flex) on A346s to North America. Agent also confirmed that award and upgrade availability in the F cabin is now best out of MUC thanks to the A346.

yup, just booked BOS-MUC-BSL-MUC-BOS for next March in D and upgraded to O. I love that the 346 is back

That said, not a bad deal for Lufti either ... otherwise I would not be flying them and they are getting $6.5k for that D-class ticket.

W22/23 remains stable with daily service to DXB/JFK/BOS/MIA, which requires 4-5 aircraft if you factor MRO downtime into the mix. Considering atleast 6 A346 should be available by W22/23, I'm assuming that some of them are due for other checks. Its a mystery why the usual F routes like SFO and LAX are not getting some A346 love. Perhaps 3-4 A346 (assuming 8 A346 are active this winter) will go to FRA?

In Germany each region has different start and finish times for the holidays. I think the idea is to avoid everyone rushing to go on holiday at the same time...
