The route to Larnaca covers 1,640 miles with a flight time of three hours and 45 minutes. Reykjavík's Keflavík International Airport is next at 1,496 miles and takes about three hours and 40 minutes to reach from Frankfurt.

A unique destination is Ivalo Airport in Finland's Lapland region at a distance of 1,434 miles. This location offers attractions such as skiing and the Northern Lights without direct competition for Lufthansa.

Lastly, the route to Casablanca spans approximately 1,415 miles with a scheduled time of three hours and 45 minutes. Royal Air Maroc also flies this path using a Boeing 737.

Lufthansa currently operates three variants of the Airbus A321: -100s, -200s, and neos. The airline has retired some older models but continues to use others across its fleet which includes both parked and active aircraft.

"The A321neo is the longest-fuselage member of Airbus’ best-selling single-aisle A320 Family," according to Airbus. It seats between 180 to over 240 passengers depending on configuration.

Lufthansa remains one of the few operators still flying the aging A321-100 model while continuing its commitment as part of Star Alliance since its founding year in 1953.
