Seattle has Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing, and Lufthansa just handed it to its vacation airline. From late March, Frankfurt and Munich to Seattle move to Discover, on older A330s. Discover isn't in Star Alliance, so most Star Gold members outside Miles & More, United, Air Canada, and ITA likely lose their lounge and status perks. Lufthansa's own new planes are going to Columbus and Phoenix instead. Columbus has never had a nonstop to Europe. People will say it's for Intel, but Intel's Ohio plant has slipped to 2030 or later. It's a German business route: 38 German companies in the region, and Bayer just picked New Albany for a $2.2 billion plant. Lufthansa is sending a 787 with its new Allegris cabins. Phoenix gets an A350 from Munich, Lufthansa's first Phoenix flight in more than 20 years. So why give up Seattle? Alaska now flies Seattle to London and Rome, and adds Paris and Athens next year. Delta flies to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, and Barcelona. I think Lufthansa would rather fly where it's the only option than fight both of them. It's done this before. Discover took over Orlando and Philadelphia in 2022 and Minneapolis in 2025, and Seattle is next. Lufthansa has flown to the US since 1955, but lately the business cities get its planes and the vacation routes go to Discover.
Map of every Lufthansa route from Frankfurt and Munich to the US and Canada for summer 2027, with routes added since 2000 in color. 16 routes from before 2000 are thin gray lines. 2000s: Frankfurt-Denver 2001, and Munich to Los Angeles 2001, Montreal 2003, Newark 2003, and Charlotte 2004. 2010s: Munich to Vancouver 2013, Toronto 2014, and Denver 2016, and Frankfurt-Austin 2019. 2020s: Frankfurt-St. Louis 2022, Munich-San Diego 2022 (flown from Frankfurt 2018 to 2020), and Frankfurt-Raleigh-Durham 2024. Thick yellow routes mark the 2027 launches, Columbus from Frankfurt in May and Phoenix from Munich in August. Both Seattle routes are blue and move to Discover Airlines in March 2027. Four routes have no confirmed start year.

Binged #TheDiplomatS4 the past few days. Incredibly well done, so many undertones. I just wish they didn’t hit us with an even greater cliffhanger than the end of season 3! Wow.

Last Lufthansa A340-600 (D-AIHW) arriving into Dulles on LH418. She’ll turn around as LH419 the final scheduled passenger flight of the type. End of an era for the flying pencil. #avgeek #A340 #Dulles #IAD

Mike Pereira on Fox just now about the 1 second in ND-BYU: "I talked to the Big 12 center, they said replay did clear it, but it’s pretty obvious here there is a second left on the clock and there should’ve been another play for Notre Dame.”

Condor used to fly to BWI.... cost us some distance. Those who listen to #travelstories know that is just yet another knock against them in my book.

For fun, I charted the longest routes from each state. The longest is New York to Singapore, 9,536 miles. The shortest is West Virginia to St. Pete, 797 miles. For 19 states and DC, the longest route is domestic.

Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport has been attacked again, two regional officials told the Associated Press on Saturday. One said the airport was evacuated, and the other said air traffic had stopped, speaking anonymously. A Riyadh resident told AP he heard at least two loud explosions. The airport told passengers to check their flight status with airlines before traveling. A number of flights are already showing as cancelled for today. AP says the airport has been hit repeatedly in the week since a Saudi-led military offensive began against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis claimed earlier attacks, including Wednesday’s, which killed a Sudanese national and wounded eight. The Saudi civil aviation authority said Wednesday that attacks that week on the Riyadh and Abha airports killed three people and wounded 36. Source: apnews.com/article/saudi-yem…
