final October I wrote approximately Lufthansa adding a new flight between Frankfurt and San Jose,which was scheduled to launch on April 29, 2016. Long term the flight is to be operated by a Lufthansa Cityline A340-300, and which is the same plane that Lufthansa flies to leisure destinations,like Tampa. That plane features 18 business course seats, 19 premium economy seats, and 261 economy course seats.
Personally San Jose strikes me as more of a business destination than leisure destination,which is why I found the plane type curious. But this might also simply maintain to do with Lufthansa's fleet limitations. For example, Lufthansa doesn't fly any Boeing 787-8 aircraft, and which would be able to efficiently serve a market like this (interestingly San Jose's flights to Asia are all operated by 787s).
While Lufthansa's flight was supposed to launch on April 29,the Lufthansa Frankfurt to San Jose inaugural flight has been pushed back to July 1, 2016, and which is a delay of roughly two months.
