Lufthansa will be utilizing the A380 on LH400/401 which arrives into JFK at 12:40pm (1:50pm winter schedule) and departs at 3:35pm (3:55pm winter schedule). Effective March 27th the A380 will operate four times a week (x236) and from April 12th it will be daily.

3/27/11 - 4/11/11 A380 on Monday/Thursday/Friday/Sunday and 747-400 on Tuesday/Wednesday/Saturday
4/12/11 - A380 every day
