LUFTHANSA AIRLINES A340-300 personal tv

Lufthansa A340-300 from Frankfurt to Chicago they have tv screens on the back of seats,According to Luthansa's website, their entire fleet of A330-300 and A340-600 are now fitted with in-seat screens. There is however no word that in-seat screens have been completely fitted on their A340-300 fleet.

I've flown with lufthansa as well as us airways a lot since i am from Germany and always go to the Frankfurt airport. Unfortunately i have to say that only one of the dozens of Lufthansa flights ive been on had the personal tv's.In first and business class, yes. In economy, no. There are several large TVs, but not individually in the back of the seats. you will not have a personal tv on the Airbus A340-300, but if you were on the Airbus A340-600, you would.Us airways has a tendency of around 20% of the time getting a personal tv. Nonetheless, i have found and concluded that even though perhaps with us airways u get the tvs, the lufthansa personel is 1000 times nice, the food is brilliant and you actually get real metal utensils. I also think that the ones with the tvs have them taken out (except for buissness class) because of rising fuel prices, and the tvs add a lot of extra weight which makes the airplane burn more fuel. Anyways i'm going to have to say that theres a 99% chance that you will not have the tvs, but really if you just bring something to read or entertain yourself you should be fine as well. P.S. the lufthansa seats are also A LOT more comfortable. Hope this helps and have a good flight
