Lufthansa recently took delivery of their first Boeing 787-9, registered as D-ABPA, and it's set to enter service on routes such as Frankfurt (FRA) to Toronto (YYZ) this winter. This marks a significant milestone for Lufthansa as they continue to modernize their long-haul fleet, especially with sustainability and fuel efficiency being top priorities.
The 787-9 offers improved passenger comfort with larger windows, better air quality, and a quieter cabin compared to the older A340s it's replacing. With Lufthansa's plans to operate the 787-9 alongside their A350-900s, I'm curious about how this will affect their product consistency and route strategy, especially considering the competitive transatlantic market.
What do you think about Lufthansa's decision to invest in the 787-9? Will it provide a noticeable advantage over rivals like British Airways or Air France, who are also updating their fleets? How do you think this will impact frequent flyers, particularly those in the Miles & More program? I'm eager to hear thoughts from anyone who has flown on a 787-9, particularly with Lufthansa's new cabin product. Let's discuss!
