| Quoting tortugamon (Reply 1): Very exciting. I would not imagine that MEX as a premium heavy route yet I see the 747-8i as a premium heavy aircraft. Interesting decision. |
| Quoting ORDJOE (Reply 7): I was under the impression too MEX was always a struggling location to get people sitting up front. |
| Quoting wilco737 (Thread starter): The exact date isnt said there, but I checked on lufthansa.com, it is sometime in September 2013. |

| Quoting ORDJOE (Reply 7): I was under the impression too MEX was always a struggling location to get people sitting up front. Then again I do not see a whole lot of VFR traffic going between FRA and MEX so could see it being heavy business traffic. Just waiting for if and when ORD will get a 748 coming our way. |
| Quoting CM767 (Reply 8): just curious, why would MEX not be able to fill premium cabins ? |

| Quoting tjh8402 (Reply 15): I know VW has manufacturing in Mexico. |
| Quoting mtyfreak (Reply 10): Guys, Do't forget that LH used to have 2 daily frequencies in high season in the past just like AF, not only that but all flights from MEX to Europe are always packed full. |
| Quoting factsonly (Reply 17): MEX-AMS = 9x/week: - dep. MEX 19:15 - arr. AMS 12:35 KL688 non-stop 10h 20min. Thu, Sat - dep. MEX 21:50 - arr. AMS 15:10 KL686 non-stop 10h 20min. Daily |
| Quoting EddieDude (Reply 13): The amount of direct foreign investment coming from Germany in Mexico is huge, and the interests of large and midsized German companies in Mexico is diversified across all sectors of the economy. |
| Quoting MIflyer12 (Reply 20): There may be good things happening in trade between Germany and Mexico but it isn't driven by Foreign Direct Investment. |
| Quoting wilco737 (Reply 2): The 744 is struggling and usually departing with max allowable take off weight (restrictions due to the elevation of MEX) and the 748 is doing that a little better. So more payload possible. |

| Quoting dcajet (Reply 14): You are aware also that the world's biggest fortune is in Mexico. There are plenty of premium clients south of the border. Do yourself a favor and say goodbye to your cliches of Latin America. |

| Quoting AR385 (Reply 22): The 748i is perfect for LH´s ops in Mexico. Let´s hope for the A380 next. |
| Quoting earlynff (Reply 23): it´s around 10 years back that DLH operated 10 B744 flights /week. They should top up their services to 14/week by adding A343/346 or even B744 out of FRA/MUC |
| Quoting wilco737 (Thread starter): LH is flying to MEX with the Boeing 747-8i. |
| Quoting mtyfreak (Reply 10): same old prejudice from A.netters |
