My first flight using LH from Liverpool this morning .

Out of interest what was the load factor like? From what I recall - I'm away on holiday, hence my lack of posts - LH normally show as 88-90 seats on the CRJ90.

Id say about 50 passengers

Returned back to Liverpool from Norway with Lufthansa yesterday. Service was v good. I'd say 60 passengers on board this time. Looked like many had transferred like me.

Second trip on Lufthansa from Liverpool, just arrived in a very hot Frankfurt. Flight was full with 9 in Business Class

 

[Silvercity]

Some pretty high fare on Lufthansa, would suggest loads pretty good from £173 to £410 this month.

Travelling now LPL-FRA-BLQ . Now having a cup of tea in departures 10 mins from check-in to other side of security. Excelent for August.

Enjoy your journey @Carl0927 !

Returned back from BLQ via FRA to LPL today. ThIs is flight LH 0968 this afternoon, again flight was full, larger aircraft used EMJ 190.

 

[A400]

The loads seem good on the flights. I wonder if at some point they might consider using something bigger such as the A319 or 320 on the route.

I think it all depends on wether it is Lufthansa mainline or Citiline, there isn`t a lot of difference in seating on EMB-190 and A319 but EMB-190 is a lot more economic

It could be either. The E190 has 100 seats and A319 has 138 seats which to me is a fair few more seats. As does the A320 which can seat upto 156.

Surely more pax is better both for the airports and airline as money is being made for both.

The A319 is loosing favour with many airlines as it is becoming quite expensive to operate like the A318 did, the Embraer is picking up most of the sales
especially the EMB-190 400 with a lot of extra seats and remember that mainline work on a very different crew package than cityline.

I think daily should be the next thing. Its also good to see passengers in business both ways. Also plenty of transferring passengers.

 

[mullion]

Yes I agree with a mix of morning and evening which will help with business pax

So at the moment they have 3 days where they do no operate . I was wondering if they filled that in with LPL-MUC being that is a hub too, and also giving another city option in a different part of Germany. Or is it best just to consolidate LPL-FRA and add there. Mixing times is a good idea. Anyway i'm sure they know best !
