@craigwillis3372 4 года назад

Great review Paul and I love the A 340 !! I suggest the reason they would be using this aircraft on this route is that is may be due for C or even a D check ! By using it on "shorter" rather than "long haul" they can control the amount of air time and "cycles" on the air frame and engines. Its a bit like if your car is due for a service in 50 miles its probably not best you do 2 weeks in France with it...go to the shops then get it serviced and away you go ! If all that makes sense !! As per a previous comment I doubt its for Crew training...these birds have been around for a long time as you pointed out !! Thanks again mate. Stay safe !!

@jakehardiman7837 4 года назад

Nice work, Paul! I did this in its second week of operation but a fault with the A340 meant it was subbed for an A330 (still a novelty on that route, to be fair) and we arrived in Frankfurt over 3 hours late! Better than a cancellation though I suppose - keep it up!

@lowercherty 4 года назад

I remember connecting in Frankfurt from Lufthansa to SAS about 10 years ago. The planes were within sight of each other but remotely parked. We had to take a bus into the terminal, go to another fake gate, and take a bus out of the terminal to the plane. It took over an hour, not counting wait time. Never again will I fly through Frankfort.

@koenmeier8553 4 года назад

Operational reasons can be the availability of the short haul fleet due maintenance at Lufthansa and the a340 likely had spare availability so on selected routes an a340 was used.

Work for the handling agency for Lufty in Dublin The a340 is to accommodate tour group bookings from Germany normally purchased though TUI Groups of 60 to sometimes 100 are common on this flight which is obviously problematic on A320 /21s so they put on the 340 as it wasnt being heavily utilised to save putting on another flight

"Lufthansa want to bore you" Can confirm. I've only ever slept on flights twice in my life (out of many, many flights). One was a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Manchester. Always good service and punctual flights, however. Can't say anything bad about them.

@LaciMk 4 года назад

That's probably because you don't fly them often hehe. The congestion at FRA makes the On Time rate decreasing drastically in the last few years, making me thinking twice about flying LH nowadays. This is a pity as they have a consistent product and great lounges at FRA/MUC, but that's not enough anymore.

@MichaelN12 4 года назад

I gotta agree with you about the Frankfurt connection. I was connecting from Kraków to a flight to Newark and we got to the gate as the last few passengers were boarding. The following year featured the same scenario but with one major difference; I missed the Newark flight. Next time, I’m connecting with Munich or Warsaw.

@mscott3918 4 года назад

@dixiedean2003 4 года назад

Having flown in and out of Frankfurt many times, I second Paul's comment on the connection time. If you always want to be absolutely sure of making your next flight, give yourself at least two hours. On one occasion when flying in, I passed through passport control a full 45 minutes after touchdown, and that was without having to collect a checked-in bag.

@Ometecuhtli 4 года назад

FRA isn't close to being the worst in connections either, I almost lost my connection in CDG despite having 1:30 between flights and I had to ask people in the security line to let me through so I wouldn't miss it. No, they told me, you still have time. They didn't even stamp my passport, so on the return journey I had to procure my inbound tickets as proof of arrival to the EU. Barajas, same thing, 1:50 transfer time and almost every minute were necessary, I had to let some people through because they had even shorter connections and they're slow as molasses.

@PapaVanTwee5 4 года назад

Two quick stories. Only time I have flown Lufthansa was YYZ-AMS, and while not my favorite flight ever (Singapore ORD-AMS) it was a really nice flight on an A330-300 in 2011. I flew AerLingus in 2016, and flew through Dublin's Terminal 2. Since we had kids we got waived to the front of those long lines. Best part about flying through Dublin to the US is doing customs before getting on the plane. I hate O'Hare customs so going from the plane straight to baggage was a plus. So I'll take Terminal 2's long lines for that convenience. I'll be flying to Amsterdam again next year, with 3 people in tow. I love your trip reports, but will you ever do a video on how you go about booking flights?

@Doomster9 4 года назад

FRA is the absolute worst if going through passport control onward to a connection, it's usually 1 checker for 90% of the flight and a second one will appear once the line is nearly gone. Has happened to me 3 times.

@C2K777 4 года назад

Having had a good look throughout the video im pretty sure you were the only quad jet at DUB ( although of course I could've missed one). Totally agree that FRA is loathsome for connections. Of course sometimes routings mean you can't avoid it but i've sworn off long ago from ever using it as a connecting hub to the point i'd rather spend a couple hundred more and connect elsewhere or fly direct. It's not only that it's often difficult to make a connection, even when leaving way more time than they themselves suggest, but that to a T staff invariably couldn't care less as it's such a common occurrence. It's always fun to find the strange flights though and great to see you highlighting one in your usual professional way. Shame it's on their old J product. I think a lot of people are looking forward to trying out the new Luft' J class which is what of course got them their latest 5* from the corrupt ppl at Skytrax ( despite the fact said product is going on a plane that hasn't even gotten as far as getting it's airworthiness cert!)

@HockeyUMAN 4 года назад

Another entertaining report Paul. But I think that Chicago O'Hare (especially on United) is the worst to connect through..

@MrMoccachinoo 4 года назад

I guess the „operational reason“ is the delay of the a320neo delivery. Further the a340 ist to be phased out soon. As a long haul aircraft it has many flight hours, but is probably far away from the allowed „circles“ (means one take off, one landing). Lufthansa a lot of thoughts in using aircrafts as optimal as possible, also considering cycles and flight hours.

@alanclarke3860 4 года назад

I have always thought that if a long haul aircraft is redundant for several hours during the day (in-between) long haul trips, why not squeeze in a short hop rotation and earn move revenue. I wander if this why IB have a daily A346 MAD-LHR rotation in between journeys from/back across to Central and South America. When I flew the IB A346 LHR-MAD it was to be turned around and form / continue MAD - SCL almost immediately.

I can completely agree that Frankfurt is the WORST when it comes to connections. I was flying in December 2018 from Kazakhstan to Houston with a transfer in Frankfurt, and had a 4 hour connection, but because of Frankfurt being foggy, the inbound aircraft from Frankfurt to Astana was late, and we arrived in Frankfurt 30 minutes before my flight to Houston was slated to happen, and we missed it. Good thing Lufthansa is on the same team with United, because I got a United ticket for free instead =D

Another way to experience an A340 short-haul flight is with Iberia from between Madrid and London. In fact you can go one way on the A340 and the other on a BA 777.
