About the Airbus A340-600
Lufthansa lists an overall length of 75.27 meters, a wingspan of 63.45 meters and four Rolls-Royce Trent 556 engines. Airbus covers the -600 and -500 in a shared airport planning manual. The long fuselage gives the airline room to arrange several passenger classes along the cabin.
Seating capacity
Lufthansa’s published plan has 281 seats: 8 in First, 56 in Business, 28 in Premium Economy and 189 in Economy. The number applies to that seat map. Airlines can use the available cabin space differently, so consult the operating carrier’s map for your flight.
Cabin layout
The Lufthansa map shows First at the front of the twin-aisle cabin, followed by Business, Premium Economy and Economy. It also shows stairs and an inset with lavatories on the lower deck. Passenger seating is shown on the main cabin plan. Use the row and seat letter to locate your seat, then check the map for exits and facilities on the relevant level.
How to recognize an Airbus A340-600
Look for a long, wide fuselage and two engines under each wing. Lufthansa gives 63.66 meters for its A340-300, making the -600 about 11.6 meters longer. The two variants both have four engines, so comparable side views are more helpful than an engine count alone. Use the registration to confirm the model.
