New route launches are always exciting, both for travelers wanting to visit the new location, and for we AvGeeks who get to cover the event itself.<\/p>\n

On May 31, Lufthansa launched new nonstop service between Seattle and Munich, using A350s for the route. The airline already provides daily service between Seattle and Frankfurt, with that route having been established back in 2008; it is flown with A330s and A340s.<\/p>\n

\"Flight
Flight LH488 arrived at SEA to a traditional water-turret salute from the airport fire department<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new service runs SEA-MUH as flight LH488 on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, departing at 6:50 pm and arriving in Munich at 1:45 pm the following day. The MUC-SEA leg is LH488, running every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday with a 3:30 pm departure and a 4:59 pm arrival into Seattle.<\/p>\n

The Lufthansa inaugural marks the third new international service for SEA in 2024 (the first two this year were Hainan\u2019s service to Chonqing and Alaska Airlines service to Toronto), bringing the total to 50 services to 33 international destinations on 25 different airlines.<\/p>\n
