My wife and I flew from YYZ to FRA on Lufthansa 747-400 in September 2023 in business and then Premium on our home bound flight FRA to YYZ. We were very satisfied in the services we received from the crew. We would rate the airline 9/10
As a German-American I used to Fly to Germany a Lot. One Job I had was 3 Weeks Germany, 3 Weeks US. Though it belongs to the LH Group, I flew Swiss. Lufthansa has the same issue BA had years ago - lousy Service. From the West Coast, I have tons of Options getting into Europe and from any main Airport to final Destination is 2 Hours at most. But, as the World gets more hostile, I wouldn't even fly to Europe any longer. Thanks, but been there (and many other Places) and I am happy to spend my Vacation elsewhere.
Or until they receive their A350-1000s. And if they'd ordered those earlier, instead of betting on the 777X, they would already be in service...........
@@artrandythe A350-1000 are coming from April 2026 onwards. So I guess that’s the 747-400 days counted then especially when the 777X will be delivered somewhere around that mark as well
Aeroplane manufacturers has to put extra wheels in middle of plane. Extra wheels for extra safety. When unfortunately front wheels failed to load remaining middle and back wheels will work.
Austrian is owned by Lufthansa. It lost much of its USP in service and customer care since it was taken over, still surpasses LH. German ruthless cost-cutting money-grabbing will slowly squeeze out the little left added intrinsic motivation that AUA staff still has. And soon there will be another demise of a German Giant (like VW)
Without the takeover by Lufthansa, AUA would no longer exist. The losses incurred there could no longer be absorbed independently by AUA. It was like Swissair or now Swiss. And where do you start then? With the costs. However, I agree with you that many mistakes were made and they are now taking their revenge.
I don't like lufthansa but i love Africa, every year i go from Madrid to Johannesburg with them, last year i flew Frankfurt Madrid in a new A330 neo and the plane was amazing but the service was a disaster, i asked for milk 3 times for my coffee and they didn't bring a single drop, i leave the Coffee on the floor during landing and it falls, it was painfull bcos i love that plane
Looks like the Boeing 737 is starting off 2025 the same way it started off 2024. On Jan. 8th, a TUI 737 NG 900 sitting at a gate at Brussels airport had its nose wheel collapse. It had safely landed, taxied to the gate and off loaded its passenger before the collapse happened. While this is most likely a maintenacne issue then a Boeing manufacturing issue as was the collapse of a the nose wheel of a British Airlines 737 a few month earlier, it still not something that Boeing needed, more bad news for its 737 line of aircraft. It seem's Boeing just can't catch a break what with the fatal Jeju Air crash at the end of 2024.
wow, a video NOT covering Emirates, amazing!

Long live the Queen! Long live the 340 😉👍🏻✈️
Lufthansa is great
Thank you so much John Byrne and Chris Pell,don't never give up you can do it.💪🏻💪🏻❤
LH is still much better than BA, let alone AF imo so still usually fly LH or Condor to/from Europe.
Great to see the Queen in passenger service for a while longer
The longer the 777x is delayed , the longer Lufthansa will fly the 747-400

Very long wait for the 777X
Planes from both are a waiting game. However, for Boeing these are not good reasons.

I think LH should concentrate more on their own brand and less on buying other carriers. Buying ITA is always a “why?” thought in my head.
Hopefully they will recieve most of their 787s at CHS once the allegris suits are certified by FAA
Thanks for the update Dj!!
Reoptimisation?
Is the 777X going to delayed to ‘27???😮😮😮
2028 at the earliest I reckon.
No news about the thrust links and how much it will delay certification even further.
@ not good. But I think mid to late 26 is realistic?
That's very doubtful. With the current state of Boeing, don't expect any early solutions. It's more likely to be '28, or even '29.

there are wheels in the middle of a plane...have you never seen a plane before?

All main European flag carriers are struggling in one way or the other with their products. No matter if BA, AF, AI (ITA) or LH.

It wasn;t Boeings fault. Do you know how old the 737 NGs are? Also someone forgot to put a locking pin on the gear - legit nothing to do with Boeing.
For the record, that aircraft is 16 years old, although that's pointless since it was a groundcrew failure.
