LH YVR=>FRA - Which side of Plane? Which Seats?

Hi Everyone,

In mid-February I'm flying Lufthansa from YVR to FRA and back:

LH493 dep YVR 15:25 arr FRA 10:30 (+1)
LH492 dep FRA 12:25 arr YVR 13:45

Can anyone suggest which side of the plane to sit on? Outbound it would be
nice to be on the "darkest" side to catch some shut-eye, inbound (daytime),
whichever side might have the best daytime views of Greenland etc.

Also, does anyone have any economy seating suggestions? It's an A340-400 &
there will be two of us. Based on this seating plan...

....it looks like the row 41 windows might have a smidge more leg room.
Anyone know if that's the case?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Geoff in Vancouver

PS Sorry, that's an A340-*300* not 400 (first correction post didn't 'take')

Middle :-) :-) ;-)

In February, the sun will rise south east, set south west. So on the eastbound
flight (to FRA), searting on the left of plane gets you the most darkness and
perhaps a view on aurora borealis. (left is facing north)


For the return trip, sitting on the left gets you the most sunshine. (left is
facing south).

shows you the shortest possible route (not necessarily what you'll fly).
