  • Lufthansa is one of only three airlines that operate the passenger version of the Boeing 747-8. Join me on this 11 hour long-haul flight from Frankfurt to Los Angeles. Lufthansa has statically reduced its inflight service and the downgrade also continues on this trip. A new First Class, Business Class and Premium Economy Class was announced, but this flight still features the old cabin with lots of legroom.
    This Trip Report will provide you with all information you need for your flight: service, food, power outlets, entertainment, wifi, legroom and more!

    You are so right about FRA. I’ve connected several times there, and it is always a horror show: no available gate, no wheelchairs, no clear directions for staying in secure areas when moving between terminals, filthy toilets (worse than any airport, and I’ve been to dozens). Munich is far far better. And people have the nerve to complain about Atlanta or Detroit, which are models of convenience compared to FRA.

      To be honest I never understand why there’s so much hate on FRA. It’s my home airport and if you get to know the airport really well it’s a really convenient and tidy airport and no where close as bad compared to Heathrow or CDG. The only big disadvantage where I’d agree on is the amount of delays of flights and baggage receiving.

    Sat in 16c on this exact flight (in the tiny economy class section right behind business class and in front of premium eco). Together with 16H, best value on the plane, you can stretch your legs through the curtain into the business class and are the first economy seat to leave the plane recommend 10/10 and will always try to book this seat when available

    Nice video, man! 👍It is truly sad that Lufthansa had to reduce their service levels. I am sure they have their reasons, and my guess is: the global economy slowdown. Oh well, at least they make it possible for us to fly on a 747-8 when pretty much all other airlines give you no option but to settle with the old and boring 777. Also, sad to hear that the food is "better than it looks". That means presentation means nothing to Lufthansa. I guess the next time I fly on Lufthansa across the Atlantic I'll bring tons of snacks and crackers from Trader Joe's with me, so I won't get hungry while enjoying the 747-8.

    Very nice video. The B747 is my favorite aircraft of all time having flown on it numerous times in the 1980s with the former Wardair Canada from Toronto, Canada to Prestwick, Scotland (before they opened Glasgow to international traffic). It is definitely Queen Of The Skies. I liken it to a 21st Century version of a Star Trek Constitution-Class Starship. Shame that the meal service/cabin crew were not the best/attentive. My spouse and I are considering flying the Lufthansa B747-400 (in Premium Economy) this fall from Toronto to Frankfurt on our way to Croatia as it will probably be the last time I have the opportunity to fly on such a magnificent aircraft and a large piece of aviation history.

    Great video, as always!
    Sadly, Lufthansa's service has been decreasing for ages now. It's just not fun flying them anymore, at least not in economy class. This year I flew with them to Vancouver and the pre-arrival sandwich was so disgusting. I mean, how can they have the newest aircraft, millions in income and such a high rating and then fail to invest a little more in economy class? I don't ask for much, but in my opinion a second meal like they had before and a drink service in mid-flight should be standard on long-haul flights - at least for those carriers not calling themselves "low-budget".
    While Lufthansa announced lots of improvements for 2023, they only affect the experience(s) in the more premium classes, which I can't afford.

    Nice report!
    LH used to be my go-to carrier but now they look more like a budget airline to me...with premium pricing. No choice of meals, no tea/coffee service and digestives after the meals, no snacks during flights and no snack bar, all while maintaining/increasing fares. And dont get me started on entirely cutting free meal service on european flights in eco and making it seem like that was what customers wanted. The smuggnes of LHs management is unreal. Its also sad for the cabin crew since most of them want to proivde good service. But since now the crew for each flight is reduced to a minimum they simply cant. Until they completly change their attitude one should try to avoid them as much as possible

      Ja, das kannst du theoretisch mitnehmen sofern du keine Flüssigkeiten (es zählt auch Brei oder Mousse) > 100ml dabei hast. Zudem solltest du sie im Flieger aufessen, je nach Reiseland ist es nämlich nicht erlaubt tierische und pflanzliche Produkte einzuführen und du könntest Probleme mit dem Zoll bekommen.

    You have to keep in mind that Frankfurt is a lot older than Munich and with that amount of passengers it isn't easy to vacate and demolish an entire terminal. I never had an issue in Frankfurt. But of course you need to know when Security is busy. A look at the flight schedule helps quite a lot. When you have a lot of trans-atlantic flights, of course Security is busy and you should consider that it takes longer. But that is common sense.
    When you know the basic layout of the terminals and you know the alphabet it is not difficult to find your way from one point to another. You just need to be able to follow signs.
    So I really don't understand the negativity. OK, you are used to smaller airports, but that is not Fraport's fault.

    I'm flying with lufthansa in two days and I am binge-watching flight report videos hoping someone will leave a nice review. But no. This company seems hopeless. Paying for extra snack, seriously ? No menu option ? A cold breakfast ? Crew ghosting passengers ? What the actual F**k ? I used to complain about Air France, but compared to lufthansa, they are gold. Crew comes regurlarly to serve you water and snacks, and you one meal with two options and one hot breakfast.

So I had salmon with steam vegetables. There were options, you are right, and I think it was quite decent, but breakfast was a joke. I still don't know what was in that sandwich, I just ate it because I was hungry. For the rest…snacks in-between meals were not included, of course (which I think is total BS if you fly for more than 7 hours - my flight was like 13 hours), screens hardly working, movie selection really limited, earphones crappy, seats just okay. I flew back with All Nippon Airlines, and it felt so luxurious in comparison (although I am not recovering from the fact I was served pancakes with fries and brocoli for breakfast)!

    Lufthansa lives only on its name and customers who unfortunately do not know any better. The prices are outrageously high, the service and the product is incredibly bad. And that even in higher classes. Lufthansa cannot compete in any area. Not even in Europe. Unfortunately, they also still have the monopoly in Germany. The arrogance and overconfidence due to the former glory days of the management and employees can be felt at any time. They consider guests in economy class as worthless. It's not just a bad experience, you really feel ripped off. Great video nonetheless. A little slower subtitles would be awesome.
