I've seen countless flight reviews but yours is undeniably one of the best. Great editing, nice perspectives, steady shots, no unnecessary stuff and still honest. Would love to see more of that. Flew the D-ABYT last year in Upper Deck business class, which was also quite an experience... but First Class is still something different ;)
WOW! The Lufthansa B747-8 FIRST CLASS look simply STUNNING! Also you got the retro 747-8 D-ABYT 😮 STAR-STUCK for sure. 👍I cannot wait till I fly with Lufthansa on their 747-8 from Chicago O’Hare to Frankfurt in ONLY 3 DAYS! However on the 747 there was no way I could pass up the UPPER DECK seats so I’m flying in Biz Class! 😊 Cheers 🥂 My friend! SIMPLY STUNNING! -Caleb’s Aviation
I don't think people who make these TH-cam flight reviews consider the affect on other passengers. I was sat behind you on this flight from Frankfurt to Houston on 25/8. Your constant loud monologue to camera and finger clicking throughout the flight was incredibly irritating. Even the flight crew told you to stop filming in the end. May be in future F reviews you should cover the affect people like yourself have on cabin ambience.
I would like to see more flight reviews. I really liked your editing, having a more upbeat feeling than most flight reviewers. One thing I always am most interested in from trip reports is the unusual flights or lesser seen seating like LH 747-8 first class.
Very nice and there is another operator out of the West Coast towards Asia that has the same plane Korean Air via Seoul Incheon. Here in the east coast the same plane you fly runs the 6:10 p.m. departure from Newark to Frankfurt Germany LH403. If you have to choose between these two B747-830 LH or UA B777-322er which one would you would you pick overall?
There’s two features about sitting inside the 747‘s nose that no other aircraft can offer you: 1. The fuselage is angled, so from seats 1A and 1K, you get the feeling of looking forward. 2. You are actually sitting in front of the pilots!
I will always remember waking up at 3 am and driving to Frankfurt to visit our family in Brazil, we would always fly with the 747 in fact I flew on the same 747 that he’s flying on from Frankfurt to São Paulo.
How to have the longest flight (afaik) in lufthansa's repertoire in first class for about 2000EUR: Buy the Bundle&Go Miles package, currently 150000miles for 1750EUR, and book Buenos Aires to Frankfurt with an inner-german connection flight as much after touchdown as possible(to maximise your stay in first class terminal in frankfurt), for about 1350000miles + about 150eur in fees, equals roughly 1750 total and you still have 15000 miles left on your miles and more account. 🙂 @Coby Explanes: Nice review, thank you! How did you like the Three Body Problem? I loved the triology for being a very original way of science fiction, and read all Cixin's book after that trilogy.
This June I've decided to take the wife and kids on LH's 748 in First Class for a European vacation. Never know when it's the last time to fly on a 747. ...and it's only money, right?
Hate to tell you, but any regular business class has 'dine on demand' All you have to do is ASK. In fact, it is even said in the menus provided of all the business class flights I have taken.
I have been on the YT as well in FC to MIA. As a German I have an emotional tie to LH. But compared to other FCs it is way behind especially on entertainment and catering. Big plus is the FCT, Even better than EK
As I rarely get to fly the 747 but the one time in the last 20 years I flew United First there was practically no where to put my carryon. It was infuriating that unlike business it had to be stored over another passenger. I did not see you show anything about that so I wonder what storage there was for your carryon?
Thank you for sharing the First Class Service on LufthansaYes, there has been the Porsche car selections as well. The vans are still very nice. You made me laugh when I heard you talk about not having any liquor in the morning but mimosas or orange juice and champagne is fine with morning breakfast. The 747s are still beautiful aircraft to fly on. I miss flying them even from my former airline!!😊 Yes, I use to set up First Class service on my former airline and again it was nice.😊😊
Das 1st Class zu nennen ist schon armselig! Schau dir First Class bei Etihad im A 380 an! Bei Lufthansa ist die First Class nicht viel besser als die Business Class bei KLM !
Like the video. I flew the 747 and was on the upper deck. IT WAS AWESOME, even when the flight attendant spilled champagne on me. And no I wasn't acting like a jerk..HAHAHAHA
I might have actually been in the airport at the time of the recorded video. It says 2 weeks ago, and 2 weeks ago I was in the airport waiting for lufthansa flight on premium economy to delhi. It was also a 747.
Coby is "The Dude"; good video. The seat does look a little below par compared to alternative modern day offerings but you're right; it's about the all round inflight experience....that's something everyone imagines when one conjures thoughts of travelling first-class.
Considering the poor reputation that Lufthansa have for those turning right this particular first class experience looks as good as some of the middle Eastern carriers, it shows that Lufthansa are still able to provide a superior product and once the new fist class cabins are fitted they could offer the best FC product within Europe.
Ignoring any service, I don't like this "first class." To me, it looks more like a business class - and even in a modern business class, I like to have more privacy!
As a crew member, I disagree with you about turbulence. The reason why 1st class is at the front of the plane is due to the comfort when the plane hits turbulence. At the back of the plane, the cabin will shake violently while the front of the plane is less shaky. At landing, the passengers at the front of the plane will experience a smooth ride while the passengers at the back will feel the "bump" when the plane hits the ground. Next time choose the last row of seats on the plane to find out how bad you feel during turbulence.
Coby, bro, I totally adore your videos! Thank you for all the great info! I must say that I can’t believe that of all people, you didn’t dress better for flying on first class!!!! 😢
As someone who only flies Business or better on long hauls... People that leave their window shades open just to make videos are the most hated on an aircraft. Worse than crying babies. People WANT window shades DOWN. Do you think that middle aisle people want shades open? NO THEY DO NOT. NO ONE enjoys someone shooting content. You are up and around making content is an incredible disturbance. When I see someone llke you on an aircraft, I tell a flight attendant and they are instantly... shut down. BE AWARE THAT PEOPLE HATE YOU FOR FILMING ON AN AIRCRAFT.
It was not that long of a flight. I just wear a pair of comfortable jeans when I fly 15 hours to Tokyo. But, you had to use a disposable pair of pajamas... for an 8 hour flight? That seems like such a waste.

As a German and a big Lufthansa fan, this is awesome. Thanks!
I cannot wait to fly her this summer! GORGEOUS 747 & Lufthansa my favorite airline!

You should have been grateful to be in Coby's presence and shown him gratitude..
Dude you are really good at these reviews. Would love to see more!
Long Live the 747

Amazing video gg ur the best

Hey Colby can you do a video about the Hawaiian Airlines Alaska Airlines Merger
I will always remember waking up at 3 am and driving to Frankfurt to visit our family in Brazil, we would always fly with the 747 in fact I flew on the same 747 that he’s flying on from Frankfurt to São Paulo.
Nice, I was flying the YT in October on 1A in First. 😀
Nice! 👍
Took their 747 in economy, of course, last month.
It was tight. And Im a short asian😂
Lufthansa is great, i want to try it when i get to go to europe.
I Havent Experience B747-8 Jet,But Hav Alot On B747-400 Whit KLM And Some Few Whit Qantas.Great Trip Report
I miss the KLM 747! 😢
on your post i thought it would be Lufthansas oldest 747 smh i was as far as possible from the truth

@Coby Explanes: Nice review, thank you! How did you like the Three Body Problem? I loved the triology for being a very original way of science fiction, and read all Cixin's book after that trilogy.
Where did you clear security? I assume first class passengers are not exempt.
Both security check and passport control are done in the FCT
Three-Body Problem! I just finished re-reading the trilogy. Amazaing!
I completely agree!
This June I've decided to take the wife and kids on LH's 748 in First Class for a European vacation. Never know when it's the last time to fly on a 747. ...and it's only money, right?
I'm going to fly 1st in one of their 747s for the first time in July. Which seat would your recommend? 1K or 3K? Appreciate your thoughts.

It's 7:00am and you're not interested in champagne...? what's wrong with you...? champagne is a all- time drink...😂🤣😘

I'm looking forward to flying a B747-8 first class from Frankfurt to Seoul in July.
delta is way better
MAJOR FAIL, you really did not show the contents of the menu and that = a bad video...
You can always tell a 747-8 because of the jaw tooth design on the engines.
Great work Colby.

@@Calebs_Aviation autocorrect!
This was a great review hope you do more

yesss i guessed the video topic right!!
I have only one hour layover. Do I have enough time to go to the lounge?
Like the video. I flew the 747 and was on the upper deck. IT WAS AWESOME, even when the flight attendant spilled champagne on me. And no I wasn't acting like a jerk..HAHAHAHA

Coby, the things you'll do to put on jammies in an airplane! HAHA! Great vide0. Thank for the hard work! Happy Holidays

Great Review! Insane shots and good music. Very good! Thanks

The best plane by far
Try economy.

90 minutes of shut eye, thats it?
Its always a highlight of the week when you post new content. Please keep them coming buddy!

Completly agree
What is the connection to the duck? Just fun or something else?
Whatever it was, that was NOT tea that you had in the lounge
One of the best things about flying KLM...
They explicitly say....
NO VIDEOING ON THE AIRCRAFT
j
Very impressive views from your cabin
The one piece the one piece is real
yes.
I'm the 200th liker!
Hello! Happy New Year 🎆 🎉😊

I got mine years ago, took them with me - and I am still using them because their quality is decent, so they’re anything but disposable…
