    I've only flown on a 747 once (roundtrip) and that was from New York to Los Angeles years ago on American Airlines. I can still remember how excited I was. My first flight ever was on a 727.

    Flew D-ABVO a few years ago from Frankfurt to Vancouver BC. I paid a little extra to get a chance to fly on a 747-400 (instead of a KLM A330 flight) before it was too late as these planes are getting old and replaced. Then the pandemic came and I was so happy I took the opportunity to fly a 747-400 and also a A340-300 in the same trip package. I checked the flightradar and noticed that the 747-400 was back in action with Lufthansa, and that was truly a happy surprise to say the least.

      On FR 24, I noticed 7 747-430s these last weeks :
      D-ABVU, D-ABVW, D-ABVX, D-ABTL, D-ABVY, D-ABVM and D-ABTK. It's too late for D-ABVR that was sent to the desert on a last flight with no return to LAX at the end of last year :( (scrapped)

    Hey Dan, just finished watching your British Airways experience and must say it was thrilling for me. It's not necessarily the experience or good/bad environment inside the craft. What I loved the most was your personal experience in verbal report. I related really well with your type of presentation! I've watched alot of travel sites, etc., but I like you the best. Thanks so much! Such insightful and informative report.
    I'm going to learn more now from your postings to educate myself for future travels hubby and I have in the works.

    Wow I didn’t expect Lufthansa business class to be so bad for you. When I flew on Lufthansa business class on a beautiful 747-400 to Orlando, the meals were very good and the flight attendants were friendly. The seats were clean and overall that flight was a really good experience. I guess it all comes down to what flight attendants you get, the friendly and professional ones, and the “lazy” ones which dont clean the seats after each flight and aren’t friendly. Nice video!

      @@srishantjena4681 their business class layout is in a 2-2-2 layout, the seats are cramped, hardly and storage space and the service depends. Sometimes you have good crew who love their job other times they treat you as an inconvenience.

    • @brycehosseini3319
      @brycehosseini3319 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's as it should be frankly. Their business class seats are getting pretty tired. Most of LH's competitors have all aisle access pseudo-suites in business class at this point, which offer much more privacy, comfort, and storage. Also, LH cabins are always hot as hell and often lack air vents. Personally, unless LH is like half the price or distance, I'd rather fly with a different airline.

    I have flown a lot to Stockholm (from Munich) in the last few months. Always in Lufthansa Business and have to admit that the service was great, even though it's only a two hour flight. And the food looked much better than the, let's call it food, what you got served. I think that depending on the airline you can expect a certain level and then the service fluctuates around that. Sometimes you are too lucky, sometimes you are too unlucky.

Haven't tried it yet..This summer i flew Lufthansa's Palma-Frankfurt route on their 748s but in Premium Eco and was so "lucky", they jad started their new buy-on-board concept for economy passengers..Nothing great there but just flying the 748 on 2hr flight was heaven for me..Food-wise, i found Austrian's business class meals much better when i flew VIE-LCA and HER-VIE with their 777-200ERs, also this summer, plus a nice selection of movies and series to watch for a 3hr flight..And speaking of food disappointment, the Singapore business class food on the CPH-FCO flight was nothing more than a sandwich and beverages. But the A359 crew was fantastic and so are their business seats

    • @timpren
      @timpren 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The shine on the A380 is already dulled since the entire A380 program has been cancelled. The last A380 has already rolled off the production line and most of the existing planes have already been permanently removed from service. Gorgeous plane, total debacle for Airbus and a historic blunder that will be discussed for decades in the aviation business. There was really never any real competition with the 747 who really reined supreme for over 50 years…

    I was happy to hear that I was upgraded to business on LH401 NYC to Frankfurt (yeah, the 4:00 pm red eye 😢) next week using United Plus Points. That excitement started to wane almost immediately when I saw the seat map, including the 2-3-2 configuration, and realized I’d be on the 747-400 rather than the 747-800. After seeing your review, reading the comments, and coupled with my previous Lufthansa experiences, I’m starting to dread this flight! Maybe a first world problem, but who’d figure, especially given the prices these seats go for, that the experience/service would be so marginal? Well, I’m hoping I’m the exception to what appears to be the rule and this turns out to be a good flight! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    They don’t actually make you sit in business one row,with 2 other passenger.
    I also don’t see you criticizing emirates for this,as they revealed that they’re doing middle seats in business!

    I was lucky enough to convince my parents to fly British Airways premium economy on the 747 from JFK-HYD via London, and it was 2019, the last year I have flown, and since, BA has gotten rid of their queens. It was probably the best flight I've ever taken, and not just bc I do think BA's premium economy is pretty nice, but the thrill of being in front of the 747's engines on takeoff, argh! So classic, so wonderful. I remember being 4 seeing 747-400s landing at JFK all the time, in all the old 2000s and 90s liveries. I do miss that time, seeing 747s absolutely everywhere was just awesome. Now I need to find my way onto a 747-8.

    The conclusion of the revitalisation of the 744 is, that this old plane must have lower cost per seat-km than the A380, when a capacity beyond the A350 is needed. Interesting.

      That’s also surprising to me but I guess other things factor in as well. For example the maintenance costs and crew training (since Lufthansa also operates the 748 it may make it easier for them to switch crew)

      @@Flyfan24 Interesting point. The A380 has Airbus commonality, and LH has fleets of A330, A340 and A350.

      @@lausimeyer6558 sure, but then again, think of British Airways who have to train their crew for a full month with short haul A380 flights just to get them up to speed again :D

      @@Flyfan24 There's also the fact that 744 parts are cheap and easy to find, including on LH's ones that were less lucky than the ones I quoted above.

    I so agree!!! I'm excited to see the 747 - 400 is back on the route to Frankfurt!!!! I always sit on the upper deck !!! :-D However, I've only taken it from Virginia/DC to Frankfurt.

    It's almost like the time when you were on the very last KLM MD-11 flight, which if memory serves me well, was from YUL to AMS. The airplane was the event, not the cabin service.

    So cool!! Totally a check off the good ol bucket list! I have been on many 747’s, but I want to fly on the upper deck on a 747-8i before, as you mentioned, will not around for long…. Just wondering how you find your flight, and how you can determine where the plane wanted will have routes available? I’m guessing you must have an easier way than looking at the airline website! Thanks for the video! Hope to hear from ya!
