I dont think they are part of the fleet yet. I couldnt find any info on their website about the A346

I think it is in service.  I quick search of Airliners.net yielded these results:

Here it is at Santiago, Chile.

Here at Buenos Aires, Argentina:

The photographe4r says of this pic:LH`s A346 Maiden Flight to BUE arrives at 07.43 am (local time) flaring over the touchdown zone

My answer would be South America.

it such a beautiful aircraft...but she needs so much fuel...i'd prefer the 777-300  :)

MrBones you said
"it such a beautiful aircraft...but she needs so much fuel...i'd prefer the 777-300"

this is not true, for the leg EZE-FRA with full pax and aprox. 12tns payload, just only 132tns fuel.... the 744 needed aprox 158tns... hudge difference.

lol what about them?
the 777 at maximum power comes close to outpowering the A330 on 1 engine. let alone both.:)
