The A 340-600 is the most beautiful and elegant passenger airplane ever built.

[@MTAviation]

its up there

[@mas921]

I TOTALLY agree! It's my fav looking aircraft. long and Slender fuselage looks beautiful

[@martinchamberlain542]

I absolutely agree. TheA340 has an elegance all of its own which makes it aesthetically very pleasing. The new livery enhances it beautifully. Nice filming, thanks!

[@Lyxzzzzzzzzzzzzz1]

It is me or or the livery looks good on airbus aircrafts

[@augustuscaesar1990]

second, right after the md-88 for me

[@soumyadeeplovestoexplore6631]

A340-600 is one of the most classy and beautiful amongst the large airlines.

[@brucebartman4782]

I just love the A340-600 airliner. Old but not obsolete. Nice livery also.

[@visionist7]

Bruce Bartman would still be my first choice for a business jet

[@tommyhvalberg]

Chickentandoori87 I'd get the wife to pay for it. Who's wife, I'm not sure yet...

The A340 has done miles better than the A380.

[@tommyhvalberg]

[@andrewanane9715]

Never thought they'd put A340 in the new livery. Looks so good. Awesome filming

[@MTAviation]

i think they're keeping them for a few years yet as they're not that old but they must have come in when its scheduled to get painted, i think every 7 years

[@Lyxzzzzzzzzzzzzz1]

It lest it feels abit happier before it goes to the scrap

I may not say to myself no hate on the A340

[@cameronmd80]

I never was a fan of the new livery But for some reason, The a346 makes it work well.

[@MTAviation]

its classy, but a little plain

[@emercycrite]

The A346 makes everything look great tbh

[@johndouglas5712]

Its great just to see an A 340 . They seem extinct

haha, yeah it seems it

[@Marco-wz3ff]

look at flightradar24, still a lot in the skies

[@58HUSTLER]

@@Marco-wz3ff Yeah, but like the 747 and any other four engine aircraft they're on their way out. Double the maintenance while a twin can pretty much do the same job. I hate it, but it is what it is.

[@r12004rewy]

She looks absolutely stunning a great pity that the type won't be around for much longer. The A340 looks a proper aircraft with 4 engines and so graceful. Such a shame that BA didn't operate the type .

Who’s she

[@r12004rewy]

@@itsNexino why bother posting such a ridiculous comment

[@williamfabiano543]

I saw one land at Logan Airport in Boston and it flew in over my head as i was walking across its flight path. It was a virgin airlines a340 600 and it's been my favorite plane ever since. What a beautiful Beast !

[@mikesides5575]

Absolutely the most gorgeous airliner in the skies

[@bobkumar8754]

All perfect till he starts filming that mans shoulder !!

[@TheJDLonline]

I agree!

[@isaacborax155]

I agree

[@maxvandalen]

This has to be the best plane i have ever flown in, it is so elegant.

[@MTAviation]

its a nice aircraft

[@alisonalcock5218]

The A340-600 is stunningly beautiful whatever colour it's painted and the dark blue and white suit it very well. Like most of you though, I wish that they'd kept the gold circle

[@atlubeckAviation]

Sweet capture! The A340 looks great in the new livery! Liked!

[@MTAviation]

it looks ok. it looks very classy but the centre 2/3rds have nothing but white paint

[@jessicaamay611]

What’s new livery

[@AaronP108]

The new livery isn't iconic and just looks like a charter livery, that they've stuck a Lufthansa logo on temporarily

[@theancientsancients1769]

They could have added a touch of subtle yellow on the circle line around the bird to give it bit contrast without going bold yellow like before

[@a1mhndi]

The A340-600 is one of the safest planes, I like both the A340-600 and the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner equally.

[@nickco.5845]

Its an honor to the A346 to be in new livery.. Their life almost come to the end.. Love A346.. Tq Lufthansa to cheer up the A346

[@MTAviation]

yeah, i'm glad they're painted them

[@yunusemre4651]

Yahyaa nnaber

[@gunnerjohnson4103]

Finally an A340-600 in the new Lufthansa livery! But needs yellow

[@ryonatkinson6637]

In my opinion the yellow would ruin it

[@gunnerjohnson4103]

Ryon Atkinson I respect your opinion on the yellow on Lufthansa

[@visionist7]

Where does the Lufhansa A340 fly from/to?

[@Yves_Ka]

They still left a little yellow next to the doors 3:59

[@Yves_Ka]

350 is a beautiful plane - time to move on

[@bradt2797]

Beautiful

[@blandrkan4]

I am a Boeing person but I do tip my hat to the 340-600, what a beauty

[@raoultak]

Minimalistic livery......love it. Don't miss the yellow color.

[@erikengvall97]

Raoul Tak so minimalistic it's almost scandinavian. Looking good

[@MTAviation]

its classy but a little too plain

[@erikengvall97]

It looks like the Star Alliance livery

[@colt-one]

I don't think "minimalistic" fits when talking about airplane paint. Makes it look too much like a big fat white tube.

[@gustavohenriqueF1]

The yellow made all the difference there in the Lufthansa logo, now, it looked like one more airline. I still prefer the old painting.

[@semih_gedik]

Plane is very clear. Congrats *LUFTHANSA*!

[@sapanavarani9747]

The man in the camera frame at 4:20 onwards spoilt the entire fun of the nice smooth lift off of the beautiful aircraft.

[@TheRealBleach]

The livery compliments the plane beautifully

[@topsecret1837]

It’s like a modern 707. Got the same kind of elegance around flying with four engines on such a relatively narrow body, even if it’s a wide body.

[@largesoda1729]

Lufthansa, your old livery was splendid. You didn't have to change it.

[@Consrignrant]

The old livery was dowdy and old fashioned.

[@miguelangelagudelobetancou4023]

I flew on this airplane munich-Boston it was an amazing experience.... Lufthansa has an excellent service on board!!!!

[@MTAviation]

awesome to hear

[@kathlynterry8196]

I think it looks classically elegant and I LOVE that color of blue.

[@MTAviation]

yeah, its quite nice

[@annieh.8175]

WOW this is one looong plane ✈️ but actually the new livery doesn’t look all bad. I sure didn’t like it at all when I first saw it but it’s slowly growing on me. I must say that the old design is so much more cheerful 😀 and, thank goodness there are plenty of Lufthansa planes left with the old livery!!!

[@pieterleroux8125]

Beautiful aircraft A340-600.

[@airworthy777]

A340 is mys most favorite Airbus aircraft, I like the 4 engine aircraft because they are so classic and kinda reminds me of the planes on the 70s like Boeing 707 and DC 8. It was sad that the 4 engine aircraft are going to extinct because of the 2 engine wide body aircraft but this aircraft was very special because it kinda look of classic or remembering the old days where 4 engine aircraft are still kings and queens of the sky... A340 is the last 4 jet engine aircraft has been designed in the 20th century and served many airlines until this 21st century but it was also that it's time to say good bye for that aircraft... Love the video and nice shot of the aircraft, the livery was cool and they make this wonderful aircraft into a most beautiful aircraft I've ever seen.

[@JuanLopez-kq4et]

I prefer the old colours.

[@MTAviation]

a lot of people have said that

[@mstrmren]

I don’t..

[@sengin1534]

Yeah the old colors look more like a family...the new ones look cold and empty

[@MathiasCorvinus1]

Wonderful Aircraft and Sophisty Livery!!!

A very magnificent A340 😁😎🤩

[@AviationMavericks]

A340-600 are great aircraft. I believe virgin Atlantic had loads on many routes and I travelled on these for many years. Only downside was their smaller engines. It used to feel like they had to use up most of the runway to takeoff!

[@filipporossi5808]

Pure elegance, best looking airbus ever, i mean it's so beautiful his silhouette is so Great

[@josephalphonse9494]

A340/A330 have the best economy seat configuration (2-4-2) The 3-3-3 in the 787 and 3-4-3 in the 777 are just horrible for long duration flights.

[@MTAviation]

depends on your group size but yes, a 2-4-2 is always better than a 3-3-3 or 3-4-3 but those with 3-4-3 can carry more people and make the ticket prices cheaper in theory

[@Marco-wz3ff]

@@MTAviation 3-4-3 is like hell

[@ivancardenas2860]

Joseph Alphonse no one asked you that

[@58HUSTLER]

That's why I liked the 2-3-2 in the 767. All but one person had either a window or an isle seat.

[@manifestgtr]

Can you imagine booking a little hop over to Munich from manch-vegas, showing up and there’s an a340-600 at the gate lol. I would be looking around for the camera…”alright, which family member of mine set me up”. Is this a positioning flight or something of that nature?

Why do planes not have wings in the front? The front part looks very long without a holding structure just hanging in the air.

[@MTAviation]

yeah, watch out, its the only one at the minute

[@Turboy65]

Four engines on a plane just looks RIGHT. It may not be as fuel efficient as a modern twin, but twins always look like they're missing two engines to me.

Just out of curiosity do you have some sort of airside pass to get up close to the aircrafts?

[@MTAviation]

no, this is landslide and on the public side of the perimeter fence
