The MUC-CLT is a quite surprise, but LH is obvioulsy putting high hopes in U.S. Airways as a Star member. Also BMW seems to be interested in the route because their U.S. Plant is near CLT. the US Airways service from FRA to CLT seems to running well. There are also rumors that LH plans to start flying to no less than three new Chinese cities by 2005/2006

Well, it seems that the A340-600 will have a 66C/279Y if I counted correctly. The new C class will be introduced (full flat beds), Connexion by Boeing will be running by 2004, and there are rumors that the new Y class will be introduced as well, but that seems to stay a rumor (for at least another year)

The A330-300 configuration is not yet known (at least not by me), but an educated guess would be something near 56C/200Y.

Besides: MUC-JNB will also be flown this winter 6 times a week with A340-300, whereas MUC-YUL is to be suspended (possibly because of lack-of-aircraft); that route is planned daily in Summer 2004.
