LUXURIOUS Lufthansa 747 FIRST CLASS *Incredible Experience!*

- I'm onboard Lufthansa’s incredible First Class for 12 hours! This is perhaps one of the most epic aviation experiences of my life, not only because of how inaccessible Lufthansa’s First Class is (with tickets costings upwards for $8000!) but being on board the 747, in the nose. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to be sitting in front of the pilots onboard this flight!
Lufthansa is one of only three airlines operating the 747-8 commercially. And given the last year it’s increasingly hard to get onboard one. Both BA and KLM has canned the use of their planes (albeit older versions) but Lufthansa is still operating their new 747s on a handful of routes.
I'm stating my journey today in London where I need to fly over to Frankfurt to catch the Queen of the Skies. In usual times Lufthansa provide access to their First Class terminal, entirely dedicated to First Class passengers. What's more this involves being driven across the tarmac to your flight in a Porsche!

YES! I love Lufthansa! Their attention to detail is fantastic, the lounge is nice (when open), great food, comfy seats, and their FAs have always been so kind and attentive. It’s classy. They give you a first class EXPERIENCE that makes the cost of the ticket worth it. Cannot recommend them enough.
Absolutely agreed, I think its one of the few remaining old school First Class products. Not the bling of Emirates but the class and refinement of luxurious travel. I need to go back to experience the terminal next month when it reopens.
Yup. I like Emirates, don’t get me wrong, but there’s a timelessness to Lufthansa. If Emirates is an Instagram model, Lufthansa is Audrey Hepburn.
Amazing cinematography, perfect audio, and the best balance of professionalism and irreverence. Always a thrill!
That means the world to hear, thank you so much Gabe 😀
@@Trektrendy your the best youtuber ever mate
“Before I go Harry Potter on you” haha classic….. seems like you need to do this review again when the first class terminal and lounge open back up to get the full experience and Porsche service.
Thanks for watching mate. Harry Potter haha 🧙🏻♂️- and for sure, already planning on it when the First Terminal opens next month
Will, I found your channel a week, or so ago, and am totally hooked. I am 68 yrs. old, retired, and binge watching, starting with your oldest videos. I am, after the week, up to June 21, 2021. Can’t wait to see more. Well done young man. Thanks for all of the entertainment, information, and humor. It’s been quite the journey thus far. Enjoying you from Mexico City. PS: I wanted to mention that I enjoy the respect you give everyone you meet, as it is then given back to you. For the most part.
I fly regularly with Lufthansa and find them great - even the low cost version (Eurowings) does a good job. The information that Lufthansa provides on their webside ist priceless when travelling in the Covid crisis
“One of the most expensive first class tickets” Emirates: Ha nice
lol
XD
Actually no. it's not that expensive if you’re connecting through Dubai. Direct flights over 12h like DXB to AKL or LAX are the expensive ones. Sometimes they give you special offer to upgrade. I was able to experience first class with the price of economy, flying from HKG to DXB.
@@bb97000 you just ruined a joke bro get a life
@@ThunderOpps876 he is true but it means that he is trying to explain the joke which is not good
Great video. I’m very jealous, one of my unfulfilled aviation ambitions is to sit in row 1 of a 747.
I was once on the upper deck of a 747 that flew through a hail storm after takeoff. The noise was pretty dramatic there too!
I got an upgrade to first class on this airline from London to chicago... it was hands down the best flying experience ever
Your editing is insane! My favorite reviewer. Succinct and fun!
Hi, Will. Great review. The 747 is my all time favorite aircraft and the 747-8i is truly the top of the line. What a beautiful bird. I tend to expect an enclosed suite, especially in First Class international but this Lufthansa cabin seemed to be satisfactory as there were so many unoccupied seats. I get a weird feeling trying to sleep if I know that people can look at me. 🤣 The food service was impressive and I am glad that you were able to enjoy such a premium champagne 🍾. Hope you had an enjoyable time in Mexico. Take care and I will be eagerly awaiting your next vlog. 🤗❤🛫🙏🌎
I also thought all first class suites are enclosed. I guess not. I would prefer an enclosed one. My privacy is too precious 😂
I would love to find bargains on air miles like you seem to find. I’d love to take a luxury trip across the pond sometime. Another entertaining and informative flight.
Hell for that price you can rent a car and have thousands left over
@@kennethhaven6289 your point?
Still one of my favorite flights to take. When I travel but yes expensive but worth it
once again will, your videos never disappoint! Wonderful quality, great content! I can tell you genuinely enjoyed this one! cheers!
Absolutely epic Will….. I’ve very much been looking forward to this review! Despite the lack of Frankfurt FIRST facilities, the flight itself looked incredible, you’ll no doubt be back one day to experience it all over again. Thanks so much for sharing! 🤙
Their first class lounge is one of the very best in the world. Right up there with Qatar and Emirates. It’s also very private compare to Emirates which is crowded. Shame covid ruin that experience for him.
Great job as usual keeping the editing tight and video length manageable, while being comprehensive in the review.
I just had this privilege recently, everything from the tranquility and personal attention of the first class terminal, to the car ride, to seat 1A. Amazing😁😁😁
Sorry to say, the incredible part of your experience is not the First Class, but the hailstorm during approach. That's pretty amazing! The last time I remembering seeing about this, Delta scrapped their 747 after the flight.
I wanted to see what you got in the first-class travel kit they give you. I wonder what brands they align with? Thanks for your reviews : )
flying like a king.Amazing service.awesome report Trek
I enjoy your videos and your overall energy and passion is impressive.
I love how he talks about the good and the bad, or what he did not like. A true reviewer, I have not seen that in many other channels.
99 red balloons is a banger. One of my favorite songs. You sir have good taste in music.
Lovely review! Those Alexandria slammers must have been amazing. You’re amazing, dude!
Thanks so much Rico. Yes, the Alexandra was beautiful, sadly something I can't get used to at $500 a bottle 😂
Love Lufthansa, but never experienced first class :) lucky man!
It’s definitely a singular experience. Their biz class is like United’s pre-Polaris (that bad!)
Personally I feel like you've definitely reviewed better business class suites on your channel but great to see the variety none the less 👍
Lufthansa is one of my favorite European airlines. I had the opportunity to fly via economy class with international flights to Europe & it was such a wonderful experience. I flew via miles through UA. Absolutely loved it. Their customer service and meal are delicious
i am addicted to your channel and have so many vids to go through…OUTSTANDING REVIEWS👍🏿
Thanks for the review. Looks like a great product esp with those pyjamas and scarf haha
Yeah I really liked it. And yes aha still trying to work out a use for the scarf in Mexico
im falling in love with flying ...only if i can afford it ... the hi-light of the trip
I love watching all of your vids! Hopefully i can try one of the flights you featured 😅
Looks wonderful, especially the comfy bed 🙂
Thanks for watching as usual :) - yes the bed was super comfy
Best channel i have ever seen on TH-cam very entertaining and inspiration. I looking forward to seeing another video
When I went back to Germany when COVID hit there, Frankfurt was crap to fly into
This is class. Lufthansa has Style!. Keep up the good videos!
Thanks for watching Daniel 😀
To say I'm envious would be an incredible understatement.
Great video mate! I have fond memories of the Lufty champagne 😋
Having flown LH first class though Frankfurt prior to pandemic, it was amazing. That said, there is No way I would ever pay to fly first class with closed First class lounges, no transport to the plane, and no food in senator lounges, and having to wear a mask, unless it was deeply, deeply discounted. Why has COVID become the worldwide excuse for piss poor customer service at full fare price??!
How do you book flights on specific planes?
At present Lufthansa only operate their First Class on their 747. Pre pandemic they ran this on their A380 and A340's. Usually whilst you cant guarantee a specific plane, I'd watch flightradar24 and work out if a plane is run consistently on a route I want to fly.
you can also use seatguru, it’s pretty good and accurate
I’ve never flown on a 747! I’ve always want to fly on one!
Considering I have always travelled heavy with backpack purse, carry-on and 2 big checked bags, I set a challenge for myself when I was planning to travel for 10 days to France with only my carry-on. I researched and found blogs where there was advice on how and what to pack and SURPRISINGLY I did it! I could have even eliminated a couple of tops, but that's ok... I wore them. After that trip I definitely have travelled lighter... and it's a good thing.
Great videos! They are so fun and enjoyable to watch. Love it.
My father used to be head of ground handling for Lufthansa. So I felt some pride.
I think my soul would have left my body during that hailstorm!
I love this video, and even though I might never be able to afford this flight, after watching The Flight Channel, I’m not thrilled about being in the front of the plane.... it seems to be the most dangerous part of the plane when things go Mayday. I would have been mortified with that hail storm 😂... You are awesome ! 😎 Thanks for sharing these videos!
I have always said first class is always first.
Indeed, more chances of survival if you are seated in the back. At least you'll have a classy death in seat #1 and maybe they'll search for your remains first if you crash.
Not always, look up the Tenerife disaster when two 747s slammed into each other on the runway. First Class on the Pan Am was the safest place to be, because the rest of the fuselage was hit by an accelerating 747.
@@gilbydog7350 There are always exceptions but anyway if an airplane drops out of the sky and desintegrates mid-air statistics don't really matter, everybody dies.
Trek trendy never ceases to amaze
:)
My uncle teaches Lufthansa pilots to fly. I find it better than most airlines. 👍
Trek Trendy. I really enjoy this content. Carry on good Sir!
The best content and satisfying voice
Living the dream again. Great video. Looks like a top quality product that and it’s really interesting to understand how you pay for these trips. Enjoy Mexico. 👍🏼
Thanks so much for watching Charles! And i'm glad it helps a bit of explanation of how I booked it :)
took a similar flight pre pandemic, Frankfurt-Munich-Mexico City got the F terminal and Lounge
Luv the 747 .. I traveled a lot with the 747 business class … when the A380 came it was my 2 favourite airline’s … very sad most airlines companies retired the 747
Love you videos: they always last the right amount of time and I learn stuff!
Would be nice if you can make an entire long ass video on where to purchase miles and how to find deals.
Thank you!
Hi there! Fantastic video. Could you please say (write out) the name of the site you purchased the miles from? I had a hard time hearing it (it’s my bad hearing). Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching Bobby. And it would be my pleasure - it’s Lifemiles , by the airline Avianica. They quite frequently run sales where you can buy miles very cheaply
@@Trektrendy thank you so much replies so quickly! I will check them out. I look forward to watching your other adventures. :)
This is definitely one of my favorite flight review channels. How does he only have 31K?!
Especially when Nonstop Complainer D has over 450. Ludicrous!
@@gerrib1633 Yes exactly! I cannot stand him! He talks for ages about nothing and comes off so arrogant.
@@SjWhit not to mention self entitled. I saw one video that he was upset with the crew because they addressed him by name not Sir 😂
Love your videos. I get to travel vicariously through you.
I always wonder, do you get to keep the slippers and pajamas on these flights?
I went US to UK (home to see family) for 3 weeks with only a small carry on. Luggage was rifled at both ends because the packed density was too much for the scanners. Seriously worth it for the speed of transit through customs and immigration.
Good to have you back in the air
I always find myself hungry after watching your videos....
The editing for your intro is so good!!
Thanks so much :D
@@Trektrendy You’re welcome!
Amazing review. Have you experienced Swiss First on long haul? Curious to know as both lufthansa and Swiss run some good cash deals from time to time from LHR so curious to know which you would pick if you had the choice.
Another great vid! I absolutely love watching your videos! 💪💪💪👍👍👍👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌😃😃😃. Inner German part made me laugh, but at least Frankfurt let’s you transfer even though you cannot go into Germany.
Awesome trip report. I’m scheduled to fly Lufthansa’s 747 soon, but economy sadly.
Thanks so much for watching. Still, this get's you onboard the Queen of the Skies :) - which route are you flying on?
@@Trektrendy true :) FRA-EWR
You made a thing of travelling during a pandemic and it’s great now that’s it’s over ull do just fine although the numbers are quite low for this video i would also see how cruse or boat travel is to expand
Thanks for the video. Could you please repeat how you bought your ticket please?
Lufthansa lately purchased a few already produced Dreamliner which will carry an updated Business class. The all new LH business class is set to roll out in 2022 or 2023. Lufthansa also announced a totally new (four-seat-)First Class in their A350's from 2023 on.
Where do you get all the money to spend on these videos cause surely 31k subs doesn't cover it despite u deserving so many more
miles
Looks like by his t shirt he works for NASA. they get good salaries
Although I like the video, I’m a bit perturbed by you intimating, at the beginning of the video , that your review was based on an $8k full fare ticket…..when, in actuality you only paid $900. (Sweet price, BTW. I applaud you there.)
i dont know how i came across your channel but Ive watched like 20 videos its cool lol.. do you just go airport to airport or do you actually get out and see stuff ?
Way back in the dark ages, well 1983 to be exact, I was flying on a sardine standby ticket from Buffalo, NY to Sydney, AUS. A long story was involved as to why I as doing that flight, but that is another story.
When I got to LAX I was informed that I would have to wait to see if any space was available on the Sydney flight. Later on I was called to the service desk and was told there was only one seat left, but it was first class... 'Do I have to pay more?' I asked, 'No' they said! I jumped at the chance. That was the first and last time I have ever flown first class, now if only I had the money to do that all the time, it was an eye opener for a pleb like me, they fell all over me, offering lots of goodies etc, I suppose they didn't know I was flying on a sardine standby ticket...
Hopefully I get the fly Lufthansa first class one day
Great review
747 forever
You should also show some of the other wines. WOuld love to see the full line up of wines from Lufthansa first
I'm willing to walk over crushed glass to fly in the nose of the world's longest passenger jet, especially given that the nose is in front of the cockpit. I'm so jealous!
I travelled to Cayman for a week and had only my carry on suitcase and a Fanny pack and computer bag, easier than I thought to not have to check bags😁
I’m not going to lie, I was seriously jealous of you, not only on a 747 and your flying Lufthansa, shame you weren’t in the bubble which was a dream come true for me when I flew on one of the past BA 747. I will be looking forward to see what Lufthansas new business class will look like 😃.Yes size seriously does matter 😂 😂 Awesome awesome 👏
For years traveling only with hand luggage. Mostly four weeks to SEA. Next trip to Phuket in three weeks, with hand luggage only.
Great video and info, I've watched a few of these now, but for this one how did you buy the miles? You mentioned it, but it was a bit fast so I couldn't figure out what you said, I'm also from London so it's not a language barrier and I know this is 2 years old now, but I'm planning a trip to Bangkok this year and at well over 6 feet, I can't imagine 24hrs in council class, buying miles might be my only option. Cheers 😊
You are traveling like a rock star, love it! can't you believe you don't have more followers as your reviews are so fun to watch, keep rocking! BTW, I was sure you were traveling with Josh :)
They met in Cancun
Just found your channel. Love it.
Gotta love some Lufty First Class action 😎 One day I'll get to try it
Excellent trip report. The food was delicious. Wow, you paid only $900 for this flight, what a steal!
As always, love your T.
Just watched the newer American Airlines video before this and wow
Awesome vid, once again. 👍🏻😊
The black plastic duck is such a smart touch! 🤣 Great video! ✈️
mAY i ASK A QUESTION NOW THAT THE VIROUS IS FININSHED DID YOU REDO ALL YOUR TRAVELS AGAIN TO SHOW THE DIFFERENCE
Awesome video Trek trendy..It was a complete review of the first class product offered by Lufthansa.. Actually I was terrified by the sound produced by hailstorm.. Omg 🙄🙄🙄..... Eagerly waiting for the Aeromexico review video....Cheers man❤️❤️
😂😂😂that almost made me laugh that part was hilarious
whats your pck called, it looks great!
Love ur travel video. Great one
Cool! Por-shuh. Still absolutely amazing!
What a life.
Still jealous, still love your content, still waiting to be able to fly
Yes, I am a woman who is not interested in travelling with lots of luggage. I could easily manage one week and one cabin-sized suitcase. That having been said, I prefer to stay in comfortable accommodation so places where I wouldn’t be expected to carry my own bathing toiletries, morning gowns, blow dryer etc… if someone is staying in a motel and they need all these, I understand why more luggage becomes necessary including an iron, multiple changes of clothes due to lack of access to laundry services etc…
This guy must be an astronaut lol👨🚀
these are epic but YA BOI IS RICH TO MAKE THESE
Would love to go with him on one of these trips so I could experience it and also I think he would be great to get alone with to
Well there’s Alexandria champagne to make up for whatever turbulence etc…the bed looked comfy
Which miles you bought and how you got them? Do you have a blog where you explain frequent travel programs and how to get bargains with miles?
Nice review…wish someday I will be able to fly there.
