Lufthansa - Frankfurt to San Jose, CA - Airbus A340-300 - LH488

[@danielonn2002]

SJC is my hometown airport. I was part of their terminal design for Terminal B and the International Arrivals Area. I hope you enjoyed the airport.

[@Dachrinnensaeufer]

Beautiful sight on the Port Town of Cuxhaven at 12:30.

[@kcramer7404]

A long flight with kids. My favorite

[@danielonn2002]

Its so cool you see the towns of Canpbell Saratoga Los Gatos on the inflight map where I live! You probably flew over West Valley College!

[@sevenrubberducks5450]

Yes i live in Saratoga, my friend goes to west valley buetifull place!

[@danielonn2002]

@@sevenrubberducks5450 What a small world! Actually the Flight attendant was wrong you are allowed to use the cellphone once off the active runway! I never had been told not to use the phone while taxing to the gate at SJC!

[@sevenrubberducks5450]

@@danielonn2002 yup!

[@alyssaboyett9182]

I’ve never been to San Jose before.

[@cesarm350]

@Mike B true lol

[@gamer64games15]

San jose is near to the Levi's Stadium.

[@typhoontom]

I wonder why the coordinates showed "E" for East. California is in the western hemisphere, should have shown "W" for West.

[@RetalityEU]

rest in peace

[@gamer64games15]

Why did u say that?

[@FlorianSaling]

Because Lufthansa CityLine only flew this route for 1 year and then killed it. A real bummer! It was like the hidden and not so "popular" route to get to the bay area. But that was probably exactly the reason ;)

[@FlorianSaling]

@@gamer64games15 Also the SJC international terminal was MUCH less crowded than the G gates at SFO

[@user-eq3dj8kq2k]

How many time takes the fly?

[@user-eq3dj8kq2k]

Flight*

[@emxl4567]

The fly needs about 21 hours . But you have to make at least one stopover. The first flight takes up to 11 hours and the second up to 9 hours.

[@typhoontom]

By the way, it shows this at about 20.50.

[@danielonn2002]

Look how cose the taxi is at SJC. You can barely finish the welcome announcement and then you are at the parking position.

[@michaelrestivo851]

hi there. where your flight full into sjc ???

[@copilot8]

Michael Restivo Yeah, probably 85-90% full.

[@MaxKulakov]

Mine had about 6-8 vacant rows towards the end of the plane on June 21, 2017.

[@DanielGonzalez-cy6io]

Yo pensé que era san José costa rica

[@Malamix1981]

Hi, how was the economy class? Comfortable?

[@copilot8]

Good enough! It won't hurt after 11 hours and the legroom was decent.

[@Malamix1981]

copilot888 i will flight next september and i was thinking to upgrade to premium economy. Thanks for your answer, maybe i’ll remain in economy

[@michaelrestivo851]

sweet. there has been speculation that this flight is not performing well and i am rooting for it, I would rather fly on the a340 than the a380 any day

[@copilot8]

Interestingly, quite a few pax appeared to be transferring from places like India. What's also interesting is that the A380 I had flown on the week before was only 60-75% full (basically everyone had a free middle seat), but that might not mean anything since I could only measure the load in economy, where I was sitting.

[@airbusmad]

Also interesting to note, Indian people have the highest amounts of tech degrees in the world, due to a number of tech universities located in India e.g. Bangalore etc. Many of them are American owned and run too! many Indian nationals may be using the flight due to the convenience of the airport location right beside Silicone Valley :). Saves nearly an hour drive between the two cities. I see this route as predominantly business-related or aimed.

[@timm4804]

Glückwunsch, wenn man ein schreiendes Kleinkind über 12 Stunden im Flieger hat. 0:47

[@angeloreyanunciacion160]

Sadly this plane's front part burned because of a tug fire. :(

[@copilot8]

The plane that burned was D-AIFA; I flew D-AIFF

[@michaelfiedler1419]

Ich hasse Flüge von Europa Richtung USA, egal mit welcher airline.

[@tomasmuller5839]

😉Warum?

[@michaelfiedler1419]

@@tomasmuller5839 Weil sie von dem schönen Europa in Richtung ein dummes Land geht. Jedes mal wenn darüber muss fühlt sich nach selbstzerstümmelung an. Das einzig gute ist die Vorfreude auf den Rückflug. Bin froh hier leben zu dürfen und eher selten drüben zu sein.

[@DerSoerper78]

Was kann die grandiose Natur dafür ,wenn einige Menschen in den USA nicht ganz unserer Meinung sind? Ich war im Mai das erste Mal drüben und die Amis sind mir viel symphatischer und gelassener als die teils ziemlich verbissenen Deutschen. Man sollte daher nicht alle über einen Kamm scheren ;) .

[@michaelfiedler1419]

@@DerSoerper78 Naja ist wohl auch ein großer Unterschied ob man da lebt und mit diesen Vollpfosten Tag täglich umgehen muss. Wenn man in den letzten beiden Jahren Nachrichten gesehen hat, kann man sich schon vorstellen, dass die einen ordentlichen Dachschaden haben. Wenn man kurz mit denen redet, mag das in Ordnung sein, wenn man da aber die Ignoranz und die komplette Abwesenheit von Fakten mitbekommt, dann versteht man auch wie Trump an die Macht komme konnte. Amis haben nur einen Vorteil gegenüber Europäer sind sind eher positiv eingestellt, ansonsten sind die meisten mehr Schein als Sein und es ist schwer, ernsthafte Diskussionen zu führen, wenn Fakten keine Rolle spielen. Aber egal, bin froh hier zu leben und während ich es hasse Länder mit anderen zu vergleichen und zu sagen eine ist besser als das andere, die meisten Europäischen Länder und auch Kanada sind um Welten besser als die USA. Vor allem wenn es darum geht dort zu leben. Man bedenke keine Anspruch auf Urlaub und immer noch keine richtige Krankenversicherung.

[@wymyslona.bozenka5649]

Warum????

A very old airplane hopefully it wouldn't disintegrate in the air 😉
