- Is there anything more romantic than a flight on a Boeing 747?! Well, I recently flew FIRST CLASS with Lufthansa on one of Lufthansa's Boeing 747-8's (D-ABYH)! The flight was from Shanghai (PVG) to Frankfurt (FRA).

Q: Why don't planes have crumple zones to absorb crash impact?
A: They do. It's called "First Class."
Bruh, no one is getting into first class now
Wait, so they give such good food as a last meal death row meal and all that extra room to absorb the impact? Damn, time to never fly first class ever again! Unless its on the Residence on an Airbus A380 cuz its worth it!

I know this is a joke, but the people in the back die first, unless the pilot fucks up really really bad
@@collinormsbee1368 Never tell me the odds!
It would be awesome if there was a window at the front of the plane.
Joe Sutter has created the one and only Queen of the Sky - the most beautiful and most majestic aircraft called Boeing 747 and he thought about to build a window on the nose of this aircraft, but it was to difficult to do it and the weight of it was to heavy and the security and safety issues were to much to do it! Also if he had done it there would be no place for the Radom, the Radar, Transmitter and other things which is necessary for the pilots to fly her! That's the reason why the Boeing 747 has no window at the nose and I find it absolutely good and it is a very good decision from Mr. Joe Sutter that he didn't do it for our safety and security while flying with the world's most beautiful and most majestic aircraft ever and I know what I say about it! Lovely greetings from Sarah and have always a wonderful flight to all of your destinations around the world in a Boeing 747-400 or Boeing 747-8i and maybe we will see each other 🙋💖✈️🙋💖✈️🙋💖✈️🙋💖✈️🙋💖✈️
Actually in the nose of the plane just in front of where he was sitting is where the radar for the aircraft is located, it's a big dish in the nose of the plane.
What? No window what's the point then

@@sarahivsutterb747 wow thanks for the explanation
If I was flying first class sure wouldn't be sleeping through any part of it, save the bed for home bring on the champagne and caviar let the festivities begin
Scott, I'm with you there that's a big "If" I started with, for me not worth the extra money for a few hours of flight time only interested in how fast can I get there.
Yeah like getting to bang the hottest flight attendant on the plane!!!
On overnight flights it's good to be able to get a comfortable sleep.
@@anthonylovell2271 right but not ten times more money good.
@@sergej23kv But you don't pay ten times as much, my next trip to the Cape is 3 1/2 times, but that includes a car (Audi A3 or equivalent) for two weeks and excess baggage which I'd have to pay extra for in cattle class with no guarantee it would arrive with me. I'd need to allow a day to recover from the flight and maybe a couple to wait for my bags, it's all extra costs on top of the cheap flight.
Jeb: I always change my watch when I’m flying into new time zones
Inner Jeb: Please notice my very nice watch. Please
It’s pretty obvious isn’t it. He had a Rolex the last video I watched. Big deal....
Haha.. yeah, totally !
Is that watch complimentary too?
It wont last long if he keeps adjusting the time backwards instead of forward.
Well, I prefer a TAG Link, but I suppose Breitlings are nice too...
*Once again, TH-cam recommendations has brought us all together.*
Well, it used to be G+ and now we're all on You Tube! 😂
Moritz Moo yes that is true
No, I saw this link on his 'my space' page.
Nice to enjoy a video devoid of politics, judgement and hate. Thank you!
actually no
When I was in the Army,I flew Lufthansa,Frankfurt to Dallas Fort Worth TX. Straight flight, a little over 11 1/2 hours in air.I flew,I guess economy but they treat you like FIRST CLASS ROYALTY!!! I have flown quite a few airlines in my day!!!
Lufthansa has Them All Beat!!!
TX Army Vet🇺🇸
So, you can claim "first" when you reach the crash site?
Yes, you could, if you're not death 😀
Daffa Riezky o
The rich d|e first when the plane hits the ground, talk about a conundrum.
@Brodd’s Ships Nope. That seat will directly take damage cos its nearly in the nose.
@@VMCAviationVideos well I wanna be life
If I was on this first class, I wouldn’t sleep because it would feel like a waste for me to just sleep and I would need to enjoy every moment of the 12 hour flight😂
I got to do F on a Lufthansa's 747 from ORD to FRA and that's what happened to me. Couldn't sleep. Just to dang excited.
Back in 1992, I was visiting family in Europe and got to fly in seat 1B of a 747 (KLM, I think) -- it was definitely not first class (sort of between modern "economy plus" and "business class"). I loved all the extra legroom up at the front bulkhead, but the coolest thing was the idea that I was out in front of the pilot & copilot, and how different it felt during takeoff & landing than my more usual seat back near the wing or tail. Thanks for bringing back the memories!
$3000+ extra? That's 1/2 of a college semester tuition for my daughter. I'll travel in the back
its usally 8k extra
Nah your daughter doesn’t need college... treat yourself!!!
this is for folks who make atleast 20 grand a week.
I've always wanted to try first class, but never have. I can afford it, I just can't justify it.
(I suppose that's why I can afford it, if you think about it.)
It’s not for you and I bro😂😂😂
Their service is always amazing. I’ve never been disappointed with Lufthansa. So classy!
I flew on a Lufthansa 747-400 back in 2009 from Los Angeles to Frankfurt. I worked in the airline industry back in the late 80' to the mid 90's working around many types of airliners and I have been aboard and worked around 747's many times. But I had never flown in a 747 before.
I was not in first class but towards the back of the plane and I was treated like I was in first class compared to other airlines with free alcohol drinks and great service. But for me it was mostly about getting to finally fly in a 747 and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Got to fly on one in 2019 and had the exact same feelings. It was even sweeter since they finally equipped their 747-400s with seatback IFEs, which they didn't have when I flew them in 2007 and 2012.
Please allow me Jeb. My father has but a few days left. He was asleep. Your notification bings. He wakes as I watch, not knowing I woke him. He whispered, what is that as the first view of the bird appears. So I give him my phone to watch. He smiled huge thru the whole vid. (He was a pilot in the Air Force and always loved planes). He had so many questions about you and why you do it, as he watched. But I havent seen that glimmer and smile on him in so long. I told him about you and Dennis... im about to show him one of Dennis's latest... (sorry). I just wanted you to know.... you bring peace to folks bad days, and you show the world to people who cant see it. Dont stop. Please. His last question? "So, this guy wears matching socks to his watch?" Thank you, Jeb.
That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing and best wishes for what is a very difficult time. May your father fly well on this next journey.
@@DennisBunnikTravels .. And Thank YOU, SIR. Hes watched your latest one. When I left him, he was scrolling every vid he could see. Thank you guys. From the bottom of my heart.
@@michaelreynolds3592 🙏❤
What a moving story... I’m sorry for your loss
May your father fly again in hevan. This is so touching
There's no wait in the first class because people can't afford it!
Steve Bytheway Given how good business class can be now on many airlines International F has a very limited market now. For most airlines the model is now becoming business class premium economy and economy. Even LH and BA are reducing the number of aircraft with F
😅🤣
Since there are 8 1st class seats, worst case scenario would be waiting for 7 people to check-in. Horror... horror! ;-)
It's not so much that people in First cannot afford to wait, but that they CAN afford NOT to wait! :)
Your tone is really pointed 😂😂
Lufthansa 747 -8 , she is the QUEEN.
I flew Lufthansa couple of times. Their service is the best.
Jeb, just wanted you to know how great your videos are. Each one I have seen have so much energy put in to them. The video is crisp, the sound is pure, your voice sounds like you have been practicing your lines for years. You voice in these videos are so professional sounding it hard to believe you are a real person. I wish I had you level of skills in video making. Again Great video.
Jeb the music with the 747 pulling gave me chills. What an awesome site of the queen. I admit your pajamas might be the highlight though of this one!
Jeb: "How do you think they did"
Me: "I don't know mate, I always fly economy and it's either ok, bad or terrible. lol"
I flew on a Lufthansa 747-8 from Frankfurt to DC a couple years ago in economy class, and I had a pretty good experience. I can't imagine what business or first class is like.
I gotta brag about this one. As a 24 year old I was given an FOC (free of charge) ticket from British Airways as a thank you for all the work I had done when working for Union Travel in Sydney. It was a firm ticket meaning I couldn't be bumped off en route Sydney - London and I too, had seat No 1 on the outbound flight, and seat No 2 on the return. Free drinks were upstairs and being the youngest long-haired passenger in First Class they all looked at me sideways when I entered the bar. One gentleman asked, "How come a young fella like you travels first class?". I think I pissed him off when I told him the scotch he was drinking cost more than what I paid. Stick that up ya, mate. It was awesome and so quiet the whole way and service was tremendous. Now that I'm out of the travel industry it really irks me to pay full fare. What a buzz.
:D
We had absolutely same experience flying Lufthansa First Class! The lounge in Hong Kong was awful and Munich First Class Lounge that we visited after landing was the best!
Best experience I ever had was in Lufthansa First Class on an A380. That lounge in FRA is unreal! Trying to book it again right now!
I just flew in LH first in the same seat. Definitely my favorite seat on any plane I've flown. You're so close to the front that the fuselage is already coming to a point, so your windows give you a little bit of a view forward that you don't get in other seats. Combined with the forward facing camera and you have an uninterrupted field of view from about the plane's 8 o'clock to 2 o'clock.
Also the quietest flight I've ever experienced. Not sure if it was distance from the engines or if that is just how the 748 is.
Nice video! I flew that same seat on a UA 747 back in the day from BKK - NRT!
I watch first class videos because I can't pay myself one 😂
Cedric Dubin same 😂 I’m living vicariously through him
You could murder Jeb for his wallet... I'm required to discourage you from doing so.
You're still stuck in an enclosed space with fat, sweaty people eating rich food, and encouraged to take your shoes off. At least they give you hot towels I suppose. Might as well save your money and deal with the fat, sweaty people in pleb class.
My dad would only let me go first class if only us 2 go somewhere but not if we go with family
I honestly enjoy all of your videos and how positive you are. I am going to a flight this upcoming Monday and I'm as excited as ever. I don't usually fly but when I do I love it so much!!!
Great video! My wife and I flew 1A/C on a Delta 747 shortly before they were retired just to get the experience you described, being in front of the pilots! It was something I'll never forget. And being on an older 747-400 vs Lufthansa's newer versions, it felt like being at the tip of a rocket taking off! Hopefully I can experience this on a European carrier one day. Keep up the great videos!
Nice - I did 1A on United's 747 two years ago from SFO-NRT - bucket list item complete!
I have experienced the first row on a 747 I forget which - it was . What I liked about it was the fact that the windows curved towards the front of the airplane so the view although not straightforward was certainly more of an angle than sitting in the in the other row on the airplane.
747, by far the best plane ever.
Your reviews are always so informative with very useful information from first person experience. You are hilarious too. I love your sense of humour and you are adorable.
I have to say, when you moved that ottoman closer to you (by remote!), my jaw literally dropped. I love flying on any 747 and they're rapidly disappearing from the world airline scene. Such a shame but I understand the economics. Four engines always win over two, she's Queen of the Skies all right. Your culinary choices were perfect: caviar, salmon with artichokes & asparagus etc. Mongolia from the loo - haha. And I really like your watch. Guess we'll wait for the full FRA lounge review for a look at the shower facilities. This is another of your world-class reviews, the best on youtube.
Jen, thank you so much for bringing your perspective to these different experiences. I too am a total aviation enthusiast and like many others, I was wondering how you got so fortunate to travel so much all over the world and have that be what seems like part of your job! That is my dream!! Any tips for someone interested? I promise I will never be as good as you ;-). All the best, Adam Herrera.... also I love the ultra low cost carriers series!!! Amazing!!
Coming back from my holidays to see see a new flight review from you made the return home more bearable! Great review, as always. :)
Great content Jeb! Thank you for taking us along on the ride from Shanghai to Frankfurt.
The 747-8i is a criminally underrated aircraft.
Agreed.
Even pilots rave about this plane.
Its hardly needed anymore
I'd rather own a full 74-8 than a half empty, fuel guzzling A380.
Mark Owen I’d rather a Dreamliner, more efficient, newer, etc
@@lukas-ds3cm Me too, I love the Dreamliner
Great video! Although I don’t get the ‘hype’ of the seat position in front of the cockpit. The small windows make it that you have the same view as anywhere else on the plain. A nose window...now,that would be a blast!
I find your reviews clear and concise. Thank you for your service.
The Boeing 747 is the greatest airliner in the world
True I thinks it’s more beautiful then the a380
I'm a new subscriber I've been binge watching the videos!
Great experience - you can't beat 1A on the 747. Really want to try that train too. Nice PJs!! 😀
Hello Dennis
Guess you're jealous of those PJ's eh Dennis?
Bet you snag the seat right behind the Greyhound Bus Driver. Glamorous.
The only option that may sound more appealing would be 1K. In daylight the Sun doesn't dazzle you when you travel west. However 1A sound so much more prestigious!
DennisBunnik Travels ,BOEING is better !
Hi Jeb, Man, your reviews are an absolute joy to watch...great stuff. In a previous comment re the Melbourne to LHR, with Qantas, I noted to you that my booking on 1 April 2019 was no joke and the reality was that trip and return was a blast. Qantas really worked hard at making both flights memorable. I will be looking forward to your future report on a Melbourne to New York flight or even better a Melbourne to Paris flight....slightly shorter than a 24 hour day. For flight addicts...let’s Go!
First time I have watched your videos and it will not be my last have subscribed. Your boyish enthusiasm is infectious. Sure you could have travelled further back but where else can you fly in front of the pilot. Unbeatable.
I've never had a bad flight with Lufthansa. Now, I'm 7'1" so none of the beds are ever a great fit for me but that's my universal gripe regardless of airline.
Wtf
7'1"? Wow!
*When you have OCD and the plane doesn't park perfectly straight in the gates*
An A380 is bigger and cool to look at, but the 747 is most definitely the prettiest.
Thanks @Jeb Brooks for sharing this though I did not see those drinks in green containers. While a young man 25 years ago, I flew Lufthansa's Boeing 747-200 ER from Frankfurt to Sydney, Australia via Singapore in almost a 24 hour trip. It was a very enjoyable flight and I was massively spoiled with things like Heineken, wine, food and video music that were at my disposal as long as I was awake - no questions asked!. It was trip that was really filled with tons of fun! Things have changed now!
Long live the Queen! And the Boeing 747! ;) Awesome video Jeb! I do quite like the 747-8i although the problem with LH first class is the view! You're too far in front of the engines to see them! :D
Paul Stewart I’m sure somebody back there would be willing to trade.
i was just watchin one of your videos lol
agreed and to the queen lone live the 747!:)
@@marknagle1912 I wonder how long the old bag has left...
1:32 I have flown on that BA 777 fro London LHR to Shanghai PVG before. Do not recomend that flight. Great video as usual Jeb！
That is my fav aircraft
Thanks for the vid!
I like it!💙
Great video, thank you. I have been saving my money to go to Dubai first class for many many years. After this I know it's going to be worth it. And that maglift train, I have to try it some day. Great job doing these videos....
I love the B747-8
Same.

You must be a nazi. Misogynistic, sexist, racist, fascist, trump supporter.

Shame about the way its political leadership treated Greece though.
That`s a great seat. You`ll be able to see the mountain, before anyone else !!!!
My best flight experience was on an Alaska Airlines flight from Anchorage to Portland in first class, which was pretty nice. What was really nice was that the northern lights were glimmering, and the pilot was nice enough to announce it for us (it was a red eye flight).
Lufthansa = Boeing 747
Singapore Airlines = Boeing 777
Emirates = Airbus A380
American/United Airlines = Whatever old, cheap, and dirty plane they could find.
RyanAir = Passengers pay for the plane.
Amazing Asian the accuracy
Golden State
Thanks.
Nah, Ryanair and Air Koryo is even worse.
With Ryanair, you get what you pay for tho...
I mean if you book your tickets early enough, depending on where you originate and fly to, you can get tickets for less than £10 (one way), which is extremely cheap.
@@ying20000818 And with Air Koryo, Of you do something wrong in the plane, You will send to the North Korea Concentration Camp lol.
Patrick Bateman approves of this, thorough, narration about seemingly inconsequential, items
Interesting video and review of this rather unique seat on the old 747! Nice Aviator 8 watch btw:-) I've got an old Navitimer auto 41. Great timepiece.
Thanks for sharing,Jeb...
I am the first of many to get this recommended again.
Been waiting for one on this plane ! I can’t wait to try it for myself😃
Have flown on Lufthansa ´s 747-8 multiple times to and from the US to Bangalore, India and almost always in seat 1A with my wife next to me. It has always been a smooth experience especially on take-off, but more importantly, Lufthansas service and cabin layout are impecable - the best of any airline and we highly recommend them.
As for the writer questioning the safety of the seat, I suggest he take a train. 🙄

Jeb, love your video!
B747 is my favourite plane. My first flight onboard the Queen of the Skies was LH B747-200 from Frankfurt to Vancouver in 1998 with those small 14” TVs attached to the ceiling. Glory days for Boeing 747s.
In front of the pilots and nose of the aircraft **chills on the nose while experiencing cold wind and low lxyben** "HEY MAY I HAVE A COKE PLEASE!!! I'M REALLY THIRSTY!!!"
"...Frankfurt, where we plan to arrive..." That doesn't sound super confident! 😂😂
DJ Vortical haha yep, you never guarantee anything in aviation. except that you will come down. =)
Awesome video Jeb :D I live in Shanghai as well and have been to the first class lounge many times since my dad's a hon circle member and I must say it's definitely the best in the world
wow ! living the dream !! gorgeous plane too ... 747-8 ..
So did I in 98 going from Chicago to Tokyo on a United 747-400. At that time the seats up front were business and upstairs was first class of course. I was 12 years old and flew out to visit my Aunt who teaches American military students stationed in Japan. So I've done the Tampa- Chicago- Narita several times. The bullet trains in Tokyo are amazing.
Dennis Bunnik's rage intensifies to the thought of wearing your own pyjamas when they're provided
Hahahaha......true!
"I like to imagine Jesus wearing a tuxedo t-shirt..."
Fabulous video. I, too, like the open layout of a first class cabin.
Very nice... Would have loved to see more of the aircraft though! Thanks and safe travels
Lufthansa is such an outstanding airline! I hope to fly for them someday!
I flew them to Europe at age 15, then we transferred to JAL, they were also very classy.
FIRST I LOVE LUFTHANSA
As always, another great video.
Never flown 1st class but it was nice to see! Got to have the $$$ to enjoy!
11:17
Lower your volume my fellow headphone user, trust me
Hey Jeb, HUGE fan!!! First Comment
In 1978-1979, i had the honor to be in the LH 747 first class on several round trips to australia and south america including the famous bar behind the Pilots, and even cockpit jump seat while landing... The miracle was that my sister was working as flight attendent and i could also be with the crew on day off. Never will i forget this priviledge
Awesome socks and PJ's! :). I agree with Darren that it would be AWESOME if there were windows in front of the plane!
Man, I wish I was a big baller and could fly first class whenever I wanted
All Hail the Queen!
As always, a great video Jeb!
Hey Jeb- Just started watching your vids, and I really like the way in which you add comments. I am also a frequent traveler for work, so have used some of your insight when booking travel. Not too long ago I had seat 1A on BA flight (LAX-LHR) and I actually paid for the upgrade, as I thought the 747's would be shortly phased out. That seat was special, not only because there were only 3 of us in First that night (Mel Gibson is one of the other pax), and had really great service paid by the crew.
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm throughout this video. Well done.
The cabin floor appeared dirty and stained.
Steven Daniel agreed. Hard to believe the carpets aren’t cleaned, even a touch up between flights.
8:10 when your girl says “I’m ready”
I do love your work, man. Cheers! Also..
ENVY.
I fly Emirates Businessclass for work regularly and I honestly think that it surpasses this Lufthansa First class. You get the same kind of incredible service, but with better seats and infotainment. Emirates has its own lounges on almost all destinations and those are great. You get the same kind of headphones and especially the full size bar in the A380's is awesome.
Finally he liked the headphones...

@@randolphclarke4674 because of you racists people commit suicide. Why are you judong people on the basis pf spmething they did not to do .

Indians did not desire taking down pewdiepie. They just liked T-series and subscribed so that they can watch more. Pewdiepie is honestly a racial discriminator. He thinks what he does by insulting other nation's culture is for memes but it leaves a huge impact on the whole country's citizens.
