I'd like to apologize for the small particles you can see visible on some of my shots outside the aircraft.
I had improperly cleaned the camera lense whille trying to get a dust particle off of it just after boarding, and I thought the footage would turn out fine, but annoyingly the small little particles stayed on the lense and ruined the footage, I wasn't able to correct it in the editor (although I did my best).
I don't think I would have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it. I thought it was on the aircraft windows.
I really like the spirit of Lufthansa. Old Is Gold.
Best video of yours so far. What an experience to fly first class with Lufthansa. Great video, and I hope you'll become big one day 🎉
Great video! I just flew the A380 on BA from JFK to LHR first class with a very dated cabin and I can understand your excitement. The blue shirt with white collar pajamas looked very nice. They are a lot better than what BA provided.
You did a great capturing the highlights, written grammar, editing, and not going too far into detail about sliding doors, or seat back reclines, etc....Please don't regret the shoes on the ottoman. Those are designed to handle that. You are only showing the distance and comfort. You paid a lot for that seat, so put your feet wherever you want.
A nice touch showing you putting on the sleep mask and hitting your head.
I look forward to your new videos and hope to see and hear more of you.
Thank you for your kind and inspiring comment! Thanks for watching. :D
This was such a great video - well done mate!! Informative, clear and enjoyable to watch along. 😀
What I especially liked was how positive, humble and grateful you are. Not everyone gets the chance to fly internationally, let alone in First Class, and you weren't bragging about it. I've now subscribed to your channel - I'm a huge fan!
Thank you for watching and thank you for your appreciation for my commentary! It’s people like you that keep me motivated to post more content! 😁
Congrats on the 100k views plane/train boy
Nice Tripreport thank you. I fly next year in May the same way. Best wishes Daniel
You should be looking forward to a wonderful experience onboard!
Good video deserves a follow, love travellers that just let the sounds of the enviroment in the video. Chill video i like it!
Thank you for watching!
Nice video, it was so cool to see your experience at a glance!
I Havent Experience Lufthansa-First Class.Great Trip Report

I just watched your flight report and may say that l 💕 it for someone so young you got a lot of talent you are a great camera man about the plane is excelent the food was excelent like i always say thats the only way to fly take care cheers jerry
Awesome, id love to fly first class someday
YOO LUKE U FLEW THE A380
good for u cuz the planes ive ever flew on were only the 737-800 and 737-900ER and A320, A320neo
Damn those are still some cool planes! I’ve never actually been on a NEO!
Great new 2023 vid..the lounge music was fantastic that is what you play in this type of vid. Your grade is A+.
Thank you!
Great review onboard Lufthansa's A380! Really enjoyed it :)
Thanks for watching!
Great trip report!! 👏👏👏
Thanks good report
THe brilliant A380
Great video. Subscribed to your channel. Thanks, Peter.
Thanks for watching.
@@idxluaviation Cheers!
a cabana é incrível, deve ter sido uma experiência incrível
Foi um voo incrível, adorei voar a bordo do Airbus A380, foi uma delícia! Talvez eu pudesse experimentar o A340-600 no próximo ano!
I travel first class for the privacy so I appreciate that you do blur out other people in first class 👍
Nice job and Great video.
Thank you for watching!
Looks like a great experience!
It was!
nice video
I found you just recently great reviews.
Thank you :)
Answering your question, I’ve flown on ITA Airway three times, JFK-Rome, Rome-Miami, and Miami-Rome. Excellent service, great design and very comfortable seats.
I would love to try them this year! But they are cancelling the JFK - MXP route… which was the only route that I would realistically need to take!
I can contest THIS is the airline and plane to travel. I have flown many many airlines all over the world. NO ONE CAN BEAT LUFTHANSA or this aircraft. Just my opinion. You won't be disappointed.
Lufthansa is the best!
Muito bom o serviço de bordo apresentado, além de toda cabine ser top. Parabéns pelo registro... 👏🏿🤝🏿
Very nicely done. I enjoyed watching this. New sub here.
Finalement a reviewer with excellent table manners.
I do my best, XD.
AMAZING Video, thank you !
I flew on the same A380 from BOS to MUC in business (first long haul J class flight btw) back in July. I recorded everything for a trip report but unfortunately due to schoolwork and other things I have going on I havent been able to edit it yet. Hopefully this month tho.
You should definitely edit it, it would be a cool video to watch!
Always liked to fly Lufthansa First Class across the pond. About the same as Swiss and way better than British Airways. BA's first is more like a business class with a wider seat. But the airline I would recommend from North America to Europe is Air France. They call it La Premiere and it is fantastic.
I don’t think I’ll be flying AirFrance la premier anytime soon, but hopefully I’ll get to try it sometime!
@@idxluaviation Hope you will soon. It is really a good experience. Thanks for your video and best, M.
Great video & insightful into how Lufthansa’s A380 First Class is like. And good to know u r giving high scores at the end. If u ever get a chance in future, pls try Singapore Airlines A380 First Class, it’s service on a different league that I’m sure u will be so spoiled on SQ that u may not look back at Lufthansa again ;-)
I will hopefully try SIA First Class, but I have a few other first class videos in the works before then, including SWISS and ANA!
@@idxluaviationLooking forward to your First on Swiss and ANA. Especially ANA! Another piece of heaven! 😊
@@TeeBee11 hopefully soon!
Great video,you gained another subscriber❤👏👏👏
10:42 first class, wearing sport shoes and putting them on the seat....very high class.....
FFS!! He's a kid, it's not the end of the world.
Sorry about that, I was going to wear better shoes but they hadn't arrived yet. (Explained in my other comments)
I like your shoes @@idxluaviation
His shoes are nice and were clean, he paid a lot for that seat. He can do that all day long.
Glückwunsch und schönes Video!
its EXTENSIVE, not expensive cause the drinks are free :) well
At 09:31 the Women is saying to her husband: "They (passengers & crew) are speaking german again so you can´t say any swear words" :D

Thanks for watching :). I miss Germany 😁
Danke!
2 months bro and I have been to Hong Kong and Dubai ..I wish I had your talent for vlogs or I could film it, but you are super good when you get around to upload. Cheers Luke
Coming back to uploading videos this week! Stay tuned for all the videos I’ve been editing!

Used to work as ground crew for T1 JFK & it’s weird seeing the passengers POV lol but yet cool
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great video. Your shoes / no shoes doesn’t bother me at all.😅
I flew this exact route on an A340-600 before the A380s returned to service
Awesome! Hopefully I will be able to fly this route again in the fall, likely with the A346!
@@idxluaviation They are quickly retiring the A340-600s, so I recommend you fly them before the year is over if you want a chance to fly them
I flew on their A340-300 on the way back from Germany after recording this trip report! I fly to germany very often so I'm sure i'll be able to experience it one way or another@@theaviator_7678
@@idxluaviation Same here, though it was between Frankfurt and Seattle as Seattle is my home. I hope you had a good experience on that flight like I did
That intro would have been great with the theme song from the Sopranos.😊
Ik im late to the greatness but damn this video went viral. editing goes hard 🥵
I'm actually quite dissatisfied with the editing and film quality of this video and plan on re-filming it in June (I paid another 5,000$)
All those great drinks at the lounge and he goes for a corn sweetened Coke!
I don’t drink alcohol…
also the coke was a natural sugar made one :)
Let us hope you will have the chance to fly Lufthansa 1st from either Frankfurt or Munich. Both lounges will blow your mind.
Also, if that is you, drinking or whatever in one of the shots? Great hair!
maybe next year! And thank you for complementing my (usually controversial) hair, lol.
5:34 👏👏👏
Haha the lady on the boarding bridge just said that they cant say any bad german words anymore because of the crew being german
Very cool review! Really enjoyed watching it. I’m wondering if you could explain how you upgraded to first? Was it a cash upgrade with a discount or did you get the upgrade for free because of your frequent traveller status? Thx in advance :)
I was able to upgrade to first after purchasing a round trip business class fare, I did it via the Lufthansa website and it was a little screen after I had paid saying “would you like to upgrade your ticket”.
I believe you can use Lufthansa Miles & More points but a few months before I upgraded with money I had attempted to use my United MileagePlus points and was unsuccessful!
The cash upgrade though is a huge discount from the usual full price fare of above 7,500& :) Thank you for watching!
Nice, thanks. Did they have a first class arrivals lounge for shower in Munich? Useful if connecting.
Im sure there was one but I wasn't able to locate it. I ended up in the Business Class lounge for around 20 minutes to eat breakfast, but then I was out of there to catch the S-Bahn as Munich was my final destination for that day!
$45 to enter the Lufthansa lounge? Anywhere or just JFK?
I think its at any U.S. Lounge, I tried it in Boston and JFK and it worked.
@@idxluaviation and that’s the Lufthansa lounge at JfK and Boston Logan?
You know- they're going to replace this terminal with a whole new facility hopefully by 2030. It's been under construction for a year already, and the first part (which will cover Terminal 2 and the area formerly occupied by Terminal 3) will open in 2026. No more of this outdated, cramped place, as it will close once the first part is open and be demolished for the second part of the terminal- and it looks like it will be as nice as the Lufthansa terminal at Munich Airport is, if not nicer!
I knew about the expansion and I’m looking forward to seeing the terminal finally being able to capacitate all the airlines that operate there!
@@idxluaviation Me too! 11 additional gates
Wow, man awesome review! I really do hope I can fly on an A380 one day 🤞
Thanks Man! It was truely awesome and a spectacular experience for me!
I've flown both Korean Air and Asiana's A380 between Seoul-Incheon ICN and New York-Kennedy JFK before, it was about 5 years ago and I enjoyed it. I'm excited to try the A380 out on other airlines in the near future
@@theaviator_7678 I saw the Korean Air A380 landing at JFK when I returned from germany! I Hope to try Korean Air eventually!
Ugh! Why is the TV SO small for it being so far away.
Nice to see D-AIMK from the inside now, as it flew literally over my garden when doing its test flights in May 😁
D-AIMK is the best Lufthansa A380, change my mind.
@@idxluaviation I’ll most probably agree with you when I had time to test it
@@idxluaviation Have you had the opportunity to fly onboard a Gulfstream before? That’s the ultimate experience
I haven't, but maybe soon?@@vornamenachname8038
@@idxluaviation You’re from JFK area or somewhere else? I’m either coming across the pond in December or spring time, I’ll hit you up then if you want. Got insta?
Since when had the a380 the brand new Lufthansa livery
Thank you for sharing. Out of all drinks you chose Coke.Uff.
I’m not of age to drink in the U.S.
Nice review i just subscribed, No alcohol though?
I’m not of age in the United States and I wish to wait until I am, thank you. :)
Nice review! Lufthansa really needs to upgrade its F product. While I don’t necessarily want an enclosed pod like many carriers have, this cabin seems way too open to me (even with the divider). Other than the hard product (which is the most critical part), the flight looked nice. Again, good job!
I agree; I think SWISS’s First Class on their 777 is an excellent example of a perfect balance of privacy and openness in the cabin (I will try that in December!) Thanks for Watching!
They are upgrading it to a new product with doors, but it will take years. The current F is pretty good and the lack of privacy doesn't bother me at all. It's a pretty solid F product!
Especially nowadays I'd rather see who is around me and I don't have anything to hide. The new FC Product which is coming is a nightmare, especially for people who travel together . I for myself prefer the open cabin.
Nice video and nice legs my friend 😊
Weird comment but thanks lol!
Schade, dass da aktuell keine A380 Flüge nach Frankfurt fliegen
D-AIMK my Baby :DDDD
D-AIMK!!!!
Great video and thanks for documenting the experience. Although, I do not think that Lufthansa has all eight 380s back in service. Last check there were only two, with a thrid about to come online. All eight are suppose to be up in early 2024. Routhes are only MUC-BOS and MUC-JFK currently.
Oh? When I checked it said that there was 8 in service, lmao.
Not sure what happened to my earlier reply, but let me try to do it again. The Lufthansa website shows all eight A380s in active service. However, that is not quite the case. As of today, Lufthansa has three A380s (D-AIMK, D-AIML, and D-AIMM) actively flying, MUC-BOS and MUC-JFK. A forth one (D-AIMN) is back from the maintenance facilty and recently did test flights. #5 (D-AIMC) flew just last week to Manilla where Lufthansa Technik is located, which is the facility that does heavy maintenance for Lufthansa 380s. That leaves the other three (D-AIMA, D-AIMB, and D-AIMH) that are still parked in Spain. Hopefully those will be fully back in service by March 1st. This article is less than a month old and obviously is already out of date in terms of status, but it hits the bullet points airwaysmag.com/lufthansa-to-keep-a380-2030/ @@idxluaviation
The aircraft comes from the runway and get towed to the gate? Why? It has 4 powerful engines. It can go by itself.
I believe it is because the gate area is too small for the pilot to eyeball it into the gate... they need a better visual and a whole ground team to park it.
@@idxluaviation okay, that makes sense. Nice vid though 👌
Please. No dirty shoes on the ottoman. Take them off.
I don't see the need of using the A 380 from Munich. Far to large. The A 350 would be perfect. Or the A 330-300.
Lmao; I was mad at myself for doing that while I was reviewing the editing, I think the A380 is appropriate because the flight is only daily, maybe if the flight was twice daily, an A350 would be appropriate.
Nonsense. It is a leather-covered ottoman that is designed for people’s feet, with or without shoes. (I happen to change out of street clothes even before take-off but many people don’t). It is - or should be - cleaned after every flight. With respect to the A380 vs an A350, I think that Lufthansa uses the aircraft best suited for demand. If the A380 were half empty on most flights, I’ve no doubt Lufthansa would switch it out.
@@pacmanc8103 Get it : What i write or say is never nonsense. You see it a different way that's fine. My opinion isnt nonsense. Mf.
"An unlimited drinks bar is available".... like, are there lounges where drinks are limited? and what does a limited drinks bar even mean? Somebody counts how many drinks I have?
POV; you’re overthinking it too much
Strange, the privacy is much worse than in any modern business class cabin.
Yeah it seems that way, but it wasn’t too bad honestly. Lufthansa will be updating the A380 first and business class soon hopefully though so not for much longer.
If that’s JFK’s busiest day, must be a recession in USA!
Vraiment La Premiere de Air France est plus privative !
Your camera work is WAAAAY too shaky man, you've got to do something about that. That's very difficult for me to watch.. otherwise, good content.
Yup, I’ve been trying to stabilize them for a long time, the quality of the footage will likely improve in the winter when I get a new camera. Sorry for the inconvenience!
You are so cute👉🏻👈🏻
you fly First Class and you choose Coke? id go for the best Champagne they serve!
I’m not of age in the United States, and I’d rather wait until I am.
@@idxluaviation well said!
Btw,where is PRIVACY
It’s better than it looks!
When I saw that wonder of food with coke, I changed the channel :D
I am not able to drink alcohol, apologies that I couldn't drink anything better....
10:41 … when boarding a first class flight, could you at least WEAR PANTS? Just as a courtesy to the staff and the other passengers…
It was quite hot out being summer when this was recorded, I was wearing some nice khaki shorts and a collard white shirt which I thought would be appropriate, the crew didn’t seem to mind and shortly after boarding everyone changed into pajamas…
The days of dress codes for passengers has long gone. At one time you would have been asked to change into long trousers. But now virtually anything goes as long as it’s not disrespectful to other passengers.
Do we really need the music? It spoils a good video.
That was a nice flight. But ... your whole breakfast only consisted of one croissant? If you want more TH-cam followers you're going to have to show and consume more food!! 😅
The entire breakfast was just a croissant yes, considering this flight was around 8 hours long, and dinner service finished around three hours into the flight, I was still full from dinner
Video tres intéressante car à mon avis la première classe lufthansa n'est ni plus ni moins qu'une classe affaire inférieure aux compagnies du moyen Orient. Les first classe de chez AF, Emirates, Quatar sont très très largement supérieures. En conclusion et vu la vidéo je préfère voyager en classe affaire avec les compagnies citées qu'en première classe avec lufthansa.
Business class is still quite nice!
Great video, but I'm just curious about something ... would you go to some fancy five-star restaurant wearing shorts and sneakers?
I think not because that might be somewhat disrespectful to others who paid top dollar for the luxurious experience!
10:41
I was going to wear different shoes but unfortunately the ones that I was going to wear hadn’t arrived yet, however I was trying to dress semi casual for the flight as I didn’t know what to expect onboard, I guess you could say I was treating it as a business class flight (which was a mistake).
Why not wearing shorts and sneakers? For sleeping you wear pajamas anyway.😂😂😂😂
@@idxluaviationagain, it was a well edited video 👍🏻
@adstix Are you seriously trying to teach anyone about decorum?!
He's a kid FFS... What's disrespectful is your comment!
No one could care less about anyone's attire in "first class" on a plane. Obviously, you haven't travelled first class before.
21:25 😂
Yup LMAO.
7.500 dollar ONE WAY? Jesus😅
Yup, I'm lucky I didn't have to pay full price!
Someone has a rich daddy
You are totally missing the point. Please read my comment again. Nothing discourteous about it at all. If you want to review flights with suitable content please pay attention to what I said for goodness sake.
Next time take of your shoes when uisng the ottoman.. Thats pretty disrespectful to the crew and you ARE on first class.... Other than that mistake great video
It’s pretty common for those that don’t want to remove their shoes and wear slippers provided onboard (Aka preference). Not a big deal. Don’t have to dress/act a particular way just cause you’re flying first class. Just have to be nice. And the crew will appreciate that.
@@Savethemanuals94 IF you think the crew appereciate people having shoes on the ottoman you are 100% wrong. Name one airline that thinks that is a great move
You are absolutely correct. Some idiots have no manners. Just saw an YT post where the (im)poster had his shoes on the (Emirates F) table. That is my dining table! The people who are actually wealthy know how to behave.
I was mad at myself for doing that while editing, I guess I didn’t realize how disrespectful it was in the moment…
@@idxluaviation Thank you for saying it! 👍
For $7500+ you get absolutely NO privacy to the aisle. Horrible.
It wasn't as bad as it seemed, it was hard to put it into video! (Also I only paid around 5,000 USD since I upgraded from Business)
rude people who travel first class and put their dirty shoes on the footrests…
If your going to fly in First Class you should be properly dressed to do so.......Sadly you were not......shorts and a tshirt doesn't get it
I noticed there’s plenty of comments like this in the video… I’ve explained myself a lot already but I’ll do it again - I was wearing a collard shirt and khaki shorts which I thought was acceptable for the very hot summer evening that I flew out on, within a few minutes of being onboard I had already changed into the Lufthansa pajamas provided with me. It’s not that big of a deal…
Sorry to say, but this first class looks basic and outdated. Not to speak of the dinner which looks particularly sloppy
The dinner was fantastic and some of the best food I’ve ever had on an airplane, I had a good time.
Too much noise, i don't liked no talks.
what do you mean?
@idxluaviation your video too much noise hardly to hear it.
Im not talking in my vid and you can turn the volume down tho...@@HaiNguyen-gw7xo
What a rubbish a380 first class. I would ask for refund.
I think it was adequate, the service was outstanding, especially the security line escort!
A mediocre report with hardly any details and poorly filmed. Suggest you learn from experts like Sam Chui, Jeb Brooks and Razgriz amongst others.
That's a little discourteous considering I spent 40+ Hours Editing this video and tried to include everything that I had filmed.
Their cabin product in first is not to my taste at all. Way too exposed with very little to offer by way of privacy. Other airlines give you a separate suite with closing doors.
