Welcome aboard Lufthansa flight 410, with nonstop service from Munich Franz Joseph Strauss International Airport to New York John F. Kennedy International Airport! Today we will be flying on one of the last Airbus A340600s still in service.

Even before the onset of the COVID19 pandemic, the Airbus A340 family was quickly shrinking with every tick of the clock. While most airlines that operated the Airbus A340 completely retired them as a result of COVID, Lufthansa recently decided to reactivate all of their Airbus A340600s. Wanting to fly on an Airbus A340600 before they became a thing of the past, I decided to book this flight on the return leg of my Spring Break trip.

In my opinion, while I enjoyed the flight and scenic views on it, the hard product is certainly deserving of an upgrade. Lufthansa's longhaul business class is certainly lagging behind virtually all of its competitors and I would only suggest flying them if your goal is to fly on a certain aircraft type with an impending future retirement.
