Any word on Lufthansa? I'm assuming Germany's extremely tight COVID regulations are hindering any sort of rebooting of Lufthansa's international route network.
Germany's overall seat capacity (as of this week) is about 38% down from January 2020 (Lufthansa alone is down 36%). As a reference, the UK is down about 28%, the US is down by about 9%, and Mexico is up by about 7% over January 2020.

I had a trip to Munich and Berlin last December and it really depends on the city how tight Covid rules are. Munich required the N95 and I needed to get tested daily plus be vaccinated + booster. Berlin was a regular mask and vaccination. I think Frankfurt is closer to Berlin’s rules. I don’t know if it has changed but getting in and out of Germany was painless.
I had a layover in Amsterdam and found them to be way more restricted than Germany, of course that could’ve changed since December. I am quite happy the 787 is showing up too, the 330 was old as you said.
I am not sure when Lufthansa is coming, I can do some dummy bookings and update the post if I find anything.
Edit: Lufthansa returns March 2, A333.
