Summer 2023: Lufthansa will operate Boeing 787-9 to five additional North American destinations
The Dreamliner will fly
six times a week from Frankfurt to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Texas. Lufthansa will
offer four weekly flights to Montreal (YUL), Canada and ramp this up on 1 May to
daily flights. Also early in May, Lufthansa will fly its Dreamliner daily to Denver
(DEN), Colorado, three times weekly to Austin (AUS), Texas and on 13 February begin
serving Detroit (DTW), Michigan. And since October last year the Dreamliner flies
daily to Newark (EWR).
Currently, Lufthansa operates
three Boeing 787-9s. Two additional ones will be delivered shortly. The Boeing 787-9
offers passengers a much improved travel experience. The cabin is very quiet and
depending on the time of day, is well lit by an innovative lighting system. The
higher entrance area gives a pleasant feeling of more space and the large windows
offer the opportunity for better viewing or can be dimmed at the touch of a button.
Business Class guests enjoy improved seating with, among other things, direct aisle
access.
