Just wondering who flies the A340 to the U.S.?

Virgin Atlantic but they are phasing them out. LH also flies them on some routes.

VS, SA,IB, AF and LH.

SK (To stay with the unreadable lingo)

Ok.

SAS

Also Air Tahiti Nui (TN)

Don't forget PR

LX

Avior Airlines also flies the A340 on its rather short bla-mia route, rumours has it after january it´ll be phase out in favor of the 734, which makes more sense economy wise.

IB flys daily a 346 to JFK and ORD, and at some points to LAX ans BOS. Since they have the 333/332 if Im not wrong they stopped flying to MIA. Mauybe SFO next summer will be with a 332 too.
And they will last at least a couple of years since all the 346 interiors are new.

Air France will be flying them to Detroit until March, when they'll be replaced by the 777-200. I think that LH also flies the 340 (-300 and -600) to Detroit occasionally.

At LAX, it's Air Tahiti Nui (-300) and Lufthansa (-600) which are always a treat to watch coming in! Also Phillipines with the -300, but the interchange with the 777-300ER

I believe Edelweiss brings their A340 to Florida on occasion.

Thank you everyone!!! Now to plan my next flying adventure!!

As the occasional sub to the A330, AR to MIA and less frequently, to JFK.

Does Lufthansa still fly them to CLT?

At least in winter, no.

Agree.
Of late it has been all 789s but VS once in a while flies the A346 as well to LAX

Edelweiss used the A340 to SAN this past summer, and they'll be back next year.

SA in and out of JFK quite a bit.

LH flies the a340-300 to SJC during the summer.

In August I flew a SAS A340 from Chicago to Copenhagen.

In the summer Swiss brought them to BOS

I think LH/City Line still brings the A343 to TPA. I haven't been home to see it come in lately to see it though....

LH has flown the A340-600 into CLT a couple of times in the last few weeks.

I guess a follow-up question would be, what airlines fly the A340, but don't fly them to the US?

AF served MSP an A340 the past two summer seasons, it will shift to a 777-200 as well as DTW.

SAA serves JFK with an A340-600, IAD was a former A340-600 destination, it went A330 due to lower demand. IAD-Dakar/Accra-JNB. SAA's A340's were meant for SWISS, but were never taken.

SAS uses A340's from its CPH base to ORD

LAN/LATAM never flew their A340-300's to the US, as far as I know. They were used for Europe and AKL. They have since been retired

LH largely kept their A340's based in Munich, so you will see them on MUC flights. The A340-600's have the unique lower level lav's.

TG and QR are two I can think of.

Azores to OAK in the summer.

LH/Cityline brings their A340-300 to PHL daily, think I read it's returning to mainline eventually

Yeah, I fly IB 340s all the time to the US, I often forget it's not very common. (The 346 is the plane I've got the most miles in this year). They fly them to JFK and ORD and in the summer regularly get them to LAX, but that often goes with a 330, too.

MIA is mostly 333, but they'll sub it in if they need more capacity. Staying close by the US IB also operates the 340 exclusively to MEX and PTY

Not PTY since they have the 333.

TAP sometimes to Miami

Qatar Airways for one.

TG retired the A340 a few years ago.

DFW has been receiving the LH A343 in the past few weeks... Spotted the Star Alliance livery A343 the other day!

Azerbaijan sometimes sub the 788 with an A345 on GYD-JFK. The last time they did was 18 December.

Conviasa has YV1004 (unsure if it's still active). I think it visited MIA a few times.

I saw a couple of LH A340-300s in PHL this past week.

Lufthansa sends an A346 daily from MUC to EWR. (LH412)

They flew to LAX in the early 2000s, but not for long. Route was SCL-LIM-LAX.

Rds,

I think they are down to just some CRJ700's.

V0 only has a bunch of E190s airworthy. Its sole A342 has been rotting away at CCS for years. Same goes for the 4 CRJ700s.

At EWR we get one daily LH A346 from EWR, the occasional A343 sub from SK, and sometimes the A346 from VS.

To echo this, I believe Hi-Fly has operated some ACMI flying with the 340 for SAS into and out of EWR.

Flew LH A346 from FRA - DTW in Spring 2015, don't know if they're still utilized on that route.

I've spotted LH and IB A346 and SAS A343 at ORD.

Anyone know if AF will be bringing their A340s back to MSP this spring?

LH currently flies the A343 to ATL, DFW, PHL, TPA, and SJC (seasonally). Soon, SAN, as well.
