Super Jumbo Jet Begins Regular Service Between SFO and Frankfurt
From 10 May 2011, Lufthansa will operate a daily A380 service to the Californian city under the present flight numbers LH 454 and LH 455, replacing the Boeing 747-400 service currently offered on this route.
Lufthansa’s flight 454 is scheduled to depart Frankfurt at 9:33 a.m. and arrive at SFO at 11:55 a.m. The return flight, LH 455, is scheduled to depart SFO at 2:20 p.m. and then arrive in Frankfurt at 10:05 a.m. the following day.
The new Lufthansa flagship is configured with 526 seats (eight in First Class, 98 in Business Class and 420 in Economy Class), offering passengers unprecedented levels of comfort. Ticket prices for an A380 flight do not differ from regular fares on this route. Return fares to San Francisco on the A380 start at 679 euros, all inclusive. Lufthansa will continue to serve the "metropolis of the Pacific coast" from Munich daily with an Airbus A340, as well as SWISS operates daily an Airbus A340 flights from Zurich, as before.
“San Francisco’s International Terminal was designed and built to specifically accommodate aircraft such as the A-380,” said Airport Director John L. Martin. “We are extremely pleased that Lufthansa will be the first airline to have regularly scheduled A-380 service to San Francisco and we warmly welcome their passengers as they arrive in North America’s finest airport.”
