MUNICH- German flag carrier, Lufthansa (LH) inaugurates daily flight LH488 between Munich (MUC) and Seattle (SEA) today (May 31, 2024). Star Alliance’s founding member has deployed its Airbus A350 aircraft to serve this 10 hour and 25 minute flight.
Lufthansa announced in September 2023 that would add three new destinations in the USA in Summer 2024 which include, Minneapolis (MSP), Raleigh-Durham (RDU), and Seattle.

Starting today, the Airbus A350, one of the most sustainable long-haul aircraft in Lufthansa’s fleet, to operate daily flights to Seattle from Munich for the first time.
