How LH729 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for LH729 across the PVG and FRA boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~53 min) but landed about 6 min early. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how LH729 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
