July 10, 2026.   Frankfurt Main.

I snapped this photo last week in Frankfurt while catching a Lufthansa flight to Slovenia. It shows a Lufthansa 787 side-by-side with 747-400.

Lufthansa bases its 747s at Frankfurt (the A380s go to Munich), and it’s the only airport left in the world where you’re liable to see them in any great number. I counted nine.

And I love the condor logos on the facades. Lufthansa has always taken its branding seriously.
