Lufthansa Flies To Denver For The First Time With The Airbus A380

Lufthansa is taking off today for the first time with an Airbus A380 to Denver, USA. A premiere, even for the third-largest airport in the USA: It's the first time an aircraft of this size has landed here. Denver is the sister airport of Munich Airport, with a decades-long partnership based on the close economic and cultural ties between Bavaria and Colorado.

The airport at the foot of the Rocky Mountains is on the Munich flight schedule daily. The Airbus A380 departs under flight number LH480 at 11:15 a.m. and lands in Denver at 1:45 p.m. local time. The return flight departs at 4:15 p.m., landing in Munich at 10:50 a.m. the following day.

Denver is the sixth destination Lufthansa will fly to this summer with the world's largest commercial aircraft. Other destinations include New York (JFK), Boston, Washington, Los Angeles, and Delhi. Lufthansa's Munich hub is home to a total of eight Airbus A380s, each with 509 seats. The aircraft has eight seats in First Class, 78 in Business Class, 52 in Premium Economy, and 371 in Economy. This means the A380 offers more premium seats than any other aircraft.

With Denver, Lufthansa flies to an attractive travel destination. This North American metropolis is the starting point for activities in the Rocky Mountains and a paradise for sports and nature enthusiasts. Through the Denver hub of Star Alliance partner United Airlines, Lufthansa passengers can also reach another 170 destinations, including popular destinations such as Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Honolulu. Lufthansa has been flying nonstop from Munich to Denver for nine years and from Frankfurt for 25 years
