Lufthansa 747-8 Flying To New York

Lufthansa is upgrading one of its two daily Frankfurt-New York (JFK) flights to a Boeing 747-8 from later this month.

Already sporting an Airbus A380 on the morning Frankfurt departure, the afternoon flight picks up the new Boeing bird from July 15 2014, with these flights on sale through the Lufthansa website:

Taking to the Frankfurt skies at 5:10pm, LH404 reaches New York at 7:50pm on the same day.

On the return, LH405 is wheels up at 9:45pm, touching down in Frankfurt at 11:20am on the following morning.

The 747-8’s appearance on New York flights is short-lived: from October 25, it’s back to a regular Boeing 747-400.
