    Drove past Dublin Airport around 12h35. There was a Lufthansa jet taxiing for take off. It wasn’t a 747, but it did have 4 engines. Anyone know what kind of plane it was?

    TIA

    I subscribe to his channel and I love his trip reports. I find him to be one of the much better flight reviewers out there.

    Also he's doesn't appear to take Business Class products as a given, and gives these experiences with a perspective of someone who had mostly traveled Economy before his Youtube channel took off. Very easy to relate to what he is saying :)

    It is the LH 979 12:10 Dublin to Frankfurt on Wednesdays only that is the A340 300. Still showing for an A340 for the next two weeks.

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but why an A340 at that specific time?

    I think seats block booked by a German tour operator was the reason mentioned before.
