Haven't really paid that much attention, but is there a reason why a350s and a380s have been MUC based and 747-400/8, a343/6 and a333 have been FRA based? I've heard LH hasn't been too happy with Fraport in recent years, does that have anything to do with it?

What impact would this have on people whove already booked a first class ticket for next year on an aircraft different than a350? Would they get switched to the new allegris F seat?

IIRC that is exactly the reason. LH unhappy with FRA/Fraport, so they decided to focus their development on MUC. "No nice new shiny things for you!"

You'll be given various options. As this impacts F flights, as soon as you receive a change option you are not happy with, call the First hotline and get it sorted out.

A subfleet of A359 were in FRA during the pandemic. The 5 A350 schedules showed up when they loaded the S25 plan. PVG/ICN switch March 30, DEN/SEA on May 1. Old 2-2-2 2017 vintage C product.

MUC will have 33 widebody aircraft in S25, which is higher than anything they ever had. FRA is short of B789 and B779 which are very very late and the A330 will have to move to 4Y and B744/A343/A346 will retire as they run of cycles. Its not really a MUC vs FRA topic. Of course LH spins it differntly.

MUC-PVG should be operating with Allegris A359, and hopefully the F should be fitted for NS25

for ICN F should be available on LX from ZRH in the summer season, but this route isnt daily so on the other days, passengers might be protected onto other carriers, such as NH or SQ?

As more and more A350s got delivered, it was only a matter of time before some wound up in FRA.

Why are the A330s shifting to 4Y?
