This was the first flight report I ever watched. I never knew they would become such a normal thing today. Thanks for showing us what Lufthansa was like almost 12 years ago...
Flew Lufthansa A380 Frankfurt-Jo'burg and back in July. Great cabin service in economy; cabin crew great with the kids. Food not brilliant but perfectly edible. Seats need an extra half inch of padding but otherwise reasonable. Entertainment pretty average and touch screens need patience (though they do respond eventually!). Amazingly quiet aircraft, even behind the engines.
I flew Lufthansa from JFK to Frankfurt on a 747 a couple of years ago. Not a plane geek, so I don't know which model 747 it was. What I can say, is that the level of service on Lufthansa (even in coach) was excellent! An older guy said it was comparable to flying Pan Am in the '60's. Good food, comfortable seats, complimentary drinks, hot towels, etc. Watching the sun rise over the English Channel was a highlight.
Nice one, SD! I enjoyed my first ever A380 flights to Frankfurt and back in November 2012. The only thing that I didn't enjoy were the massive boarding queues and associated chaos. I will hopefully be making the same flights again in November this year.
Perfect!!! Even in the night, the takeoff offers amazing view of Jo'burg. Nobody before you had uploaded such an excellent videos with the A380 to and from JNB/FAJS. Thanks a lot.
What a great video! I felt like I was boarding the plane too! I'll be travelling on a Lufthansa A380 from JFK to Frankfurt in September 2011. I can't wait now I've seen this video. Thanks for posting it! Craig - Melbourne, Australia.
LIKE TIMES FIVE!!!!! That was an awesome video! I really felt as if I was onboard with you. Even when you were in the airport and standing in the line waiting to board. Excellent job. Well done!
I flew on the " Hamburg " out going and " Dusseldorf " back to Jhb. I didn't know they named their planes after foreign cities as well..another Lufthansa A380 is called " Tokio "
Was just in Jo'burg. There are always an Air France and a Lufthansa A380 parked next to each other, which can be seen every time one drives past the airport.
Great video! I flew on Air France A380 JFK-CDG and both landings were very hard! Nice job with edit and HD quality...overall it's a great plane, and I say that being a Boeing fan all my life...congrats.
Brilliant video! Very well made. I never had the oppertunity before to set my feet on an A380 before. Hopefully one day it will happen since I have a friend who lives in White Rock, Canada, right next to Vancouver.
i flew from Johannesburg to Frankfurt on Lufthansa A380 in December 2013 was a good flight. And i will be flying with Air France in a couple of months will be nice to see the Difference

Watching this makes me feel so nostalgic. One of the first trip report videos I remember watching. This is a trip down memory lane
I love Lufthansa! Total piece of mind as a passenger, and great professionalism from the crew.

I flew this same flight in June/July 2012 - this video still brings back great memories thanks
That was a great flight. Thanks for bringing me with you.
Fantastic video SD...thanks for sharing it with the rest of the world...!!
It's absolutely amazing that those engines have enough thrust to get something that size off the ground!
Perfect!!! Even in the night, the takeoff offers amazing view of Jo'burg. Nobody before you had uploaded such an excellent videos with the A380 to and from JNB/FAJS. Thanks a lot.

Nice video. It's interesting that this flight was from Johannesburg and was operated by a plane named Johannesburg
very nice documentation of your trip. now i miss frankfurt. hehe
Fantastic report !!! --- Muy bueno el reporte !-----
very good video
I flew this exact plane on June 2011. It took me 10 hours from Johannesburg to Frankfurt
Nice video.
superbe video we feel like airport ambiance
Very Nice!! thanks :-)
Ein großartiges Video!!!
Super Video :)
It is a FANTASTIC plane!
Nice video!
When you see the size of the Cabin it makes you realize how amazing it its that planes of this size can actually lift off the ground!
@MrCars That's the engines slowing the plane down. The reverse thrust. It is a pretty huge plane with lots of weight to slow down.
أكيد طبعا نال أعجابي كل أفلام اليوتبوب الخاص بطائرة الأير باص A380 وأتمنى المزيد . شكرا
i like united the most just because they seem very reliable and have a great safety record.
Good work
Sehr gut gemachter Film !
A very very good video! :)
Fantastic video, can't wait for my local airline (Malaysia Airlines) to put their Airbus A380 into service. :)
Antonov-225 is still the biggest plane. Boeing 747-8-is modernized and has everything and plus in it. Nice plane to fly in, and very quite.
Amazing video! I really hope I can fly LH one day :)
best video
i love that aircraft...the airbus a 380...i flew with lufthansa and love that flight....
Wow....very cool!
nice video very compliments

You are correct. Nice catch.
Unico y Maravilloso!!!

My kids 'experienced' their first take off and landing on this video, now for the real thing!
Great flight, no jetlag :)
