Bathrooms upfront
So in the new A340 are there two bathrooms in First Class area or still one?

During the 8 day period between 28 April and 5 May, LX161 NRT-ZRH was flown by HB-JMH or HB-JMI everyday except on one day. Guess who flew NRT-ZRH on HB-JMA on 1st May! But I was in C and probably didn’t miss much.

For the time being LX is supposed to keep F on all long haul aircraft and let's hope it will stay that way. At least one premium airline in the group

But product consistency accross the fleet would be nice as well, hence I hope by end of 2022 the A333's will be refurbished including new IFE

Flying to PVG today on LX188 and FR24 is showing JMI. Have to say I’m pleasantly surprised, since it’s never flown this route yet, but must be our lucky day! Let’s hope it’s true

Just landed in front of the lounge and parked at our gate. Good sign!

Have a nice flight!

But judging from which lounge you have taken the pic of the plane from I am sure it will be!

HB-JMC did a long test flight yesterday evening.

Perhaps it will ferry back to ZRH today?

Well spotted. HB-JMC took off from DRS 18 mins ago and heading southwest towards ZRH. ^

HB-JMC landed in ZRH at 16:39 and is scheduled to fly to NRT tomorrow.

HB-JMB is operating LX5180 with no destination right now. It is in the air now almost over Albania. Is it going somewhere else for the maintenance?

Indeed, just landed in AMM.

Interestingly, they wanted it done at BOD first but then went to DRS:

Interesting. This may be the reason why it went to AMM.

I thought amman only did the c and b checks and the cabin interior would be installed in drs for all planes.

I don‘t think jmb is getting the new interior atm.

HB-JMA seems to be stuck? in ZRH since she arrived back from BOS on the morning of 19 June.
