A330 ?

I'll be flying MAD-FRA-PHL in early December. The reservation shows A330 for the FRA-PHL leg, but I can't seem to find this aircraft type on the Lufthansa web site. Should it be an A340 instead?

No, 332 is the correct aircraft-type for FRA-PHL.

These planes were introduced last year to fill the gap left by the sold A340-200 and are leased. They were formerly operated by Swiss and Sabena and have the original interior in a two-class cofiguration. Good thing is that the ex-SR planes have inseat video in Economy if I am not mistaken, which is unusual for LH's fleet.

Greetings - Dirk

Thanks for the info! Good to know that I'll have an in-seat video in Y - very helpful for long flights.

Next summer, there are two flights a day from FRA to Cairo.

One is a two-class 330 (flight 583 on 04 July), but the other is a three-class 330 (flight 589 on the same date), which shows a layout in F that is the same as the current A340.

What is the story with that aircraft?

I did a little more searching and answered my own question.

LH is currently flying PHL-FRA with a 332. It will be upgraded to an A343 in spring.

US also flies PHL-FRA with a 333.

Thus, two separate flights, both with an A330 aircraft. Note that US does not operate the smaller 332.
