FRA-DUB: Rarely does an opportunity arise to fly an Airbus A340 on a short-haul route. I did have a previous one-off experience flying a Swiss A340 from Zurich to Dusseldorf (links below). I enjoyed it so much I wanted to get back on the A340 before they retire, but did not want to spend a lot of money to do so. Thankfully Lufthansa's 2019 summer schedule includes a few inter-Europe A340 flights, with Dublin being one of them (only on Wednesdays). The other European A340 routes are Vienna and Lisbon. Maybe I'll try for those later on.
The A340 is a large aircraft. It's well insulated with most of the aircraft's noise coming from the aging interior - so many squeaks and bangs while it's taxiing on the ground. Of course there is the signature buzz sound from the CFM engines but every aircraft has engine noise. I also think it maneuvers very well for it's size.
The interior on this aircraft was definitely showing it's age (pictures at the end). I paid 25 CHF to sit in the premium economy cabin and I will say that I would not spend an extra few hundred dollars (or more) on their long-haul flights. The seat is slightly wider than in economy and overall it would not be worth it in my opinion. There are definitely better premium economy products out there.
