I hate Lufthansa !!!!

[Elvikowsky]

Usually Lufthansa uses 747-400 (from last week A380) on the flights to Frankfurt and A340-600 to Munich...

[DNETV]

@Elvikowsky Actually A340's also go to Frankfurt. I took A340-300 and A340-600 trips to Frankfurt. They both go to Frankfurt.

That flight time would have been loooooong

[DAIRX]

it was MUC-NRT while strike at lufthansa in Summer 2008. (KI and KJ are homebased MUC)

[fernousdu972]

excellent

[rc37]

woah !! alot of runway. nice to see A330-300 doing such a long haul !

[ImmortalSynn]

An A333 from NRT to either FRA or MUC is quite the impressive haul for that aircraft.... slightly longer than going from either one of those two hubs to LAX nonstop!

[jastar08]

NRT-MUC is 5070nm, LH ordered HGW-versions, the A333HGW is capable for 5500nm

[ImmortalSynn]

@jastar08

I'm aware. However, when you factor in:

1) the headwinds for still-air calculation (easily adding 8-11% nm)

2) the fact that LH does not fly the Great Circle routing

3) LH's heavy premium seats

...the point remains, that the route is impressive for that particular type of aircraft.

[jastar08]

@ImmortalSynn

no doubt, it is a long trip. that shows what a great A/C the a330-family is. i wonder if there have been any payload restrictions?

[xkr8]

Nice video!

LH A330 to NRT was related to the strike (aircraft changes) and happened two times: D-AIKI and KJ the day before. A very rare sight indeed ;)
