Germany's flagship carrier has announced it's boosting service to Canada and the U.S. for the 2023 summer season with five additional North American destinations. That new service starts with Lufthansa's summer flight schedule - some service actually begins in FEB - and it's on Lufthansa's lauded Boeing 878-9 "Dreamliner."
In Canada, Lufthansa's Dreamliner will offer four weekly flights between Montreal and Frankfurt, and ramp this up on 01MAY to daily flights.
The airline will fly six times a week from Frankfurt to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Texas; daily to Denver (DEN), Colorado; three times weekly to Austin (AUS), Texas and will begin serving Detroit (DTW), Michigan. Since OCT, 2022, Lufthansa also flies daily to Newark (EWR).
More information is available on Lufthansa's web site.
Dreamliner Service: Better Pax Experience, Better for the Environment
Currently, Lufthansa operates three Boeing 787-9s. Two additional ones will be delivered shortly. According to Lufthansa and Boeing, Dreamliners offer 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.
The long-haul Dreamliner is one of the most fuel efficient and environmentally friendly long-haul Lufthansa aircraft. On average, it consumes 2.5 liters of kerosene per passenger per 100 kilometers flown or 30 percent less than aircraft of the preceding generation. By 2027, Lufthansa Group will take delivery a total of 32 new Boeing 787-9s.
