Have a nice one!
I'm flying Lufthansa's 747-400 from Vancouver to Frankfurt next week. So excited. Didn't think i'd ever get the chance to fly on the queen ever again butn here I go.
That’s great to hear! Have a great trip and enjoy the experience!
Lufthansa the best plane ever they kept clean they maintain absolutely perfect service is nice my kind of plane
I flew a 747 Toronto to Paris with Air France. I was the only one with a suite and tie and they upgrade to first class for free. Wow.....
That' great to hear Aaron. Great experience for sure! I can't imagine what is to be on first class on a 747 💪
Thanks for sharing. The 747 is an amazing aircraft to fly on and I have flown on many airlines’ variants over the last 20 years from BA, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, Japan Airlines and more. I wish it was still widely used, My favourite is the 747-400 but I will always remember my first flight on a BA 747-100 to New York JFK in 1998.
Thanks so much for the comment! It was nice to fly on the 747 again. BA was a big 747's operator. The old BA livery on their 747's looked stunning!
One of my favourite airlines
Beautiful report wonderful plane l dont find it old she still queen cheers from jerry
Thank you very much Jerry! I appreciate your comment and I am glad that you liked the report for this very “special” flight. Greetings!
Nice Report!!!!!!
I was so glad to find this review! I have wanted for a long time to make one last flight on a 747! I live in Toronto, and have been exploring the possibility of booking a trip on this very flight! This review has made me very nostalgic, so if the opportunity presents itself, I will do it! Thank you, this was a very informative review!
Thank you very much for such a nice comment! I am very glad that you have found this review very informative. For now, Lufthansa operates the 747-400 on their daily flight from Toronto to Frankfurt.
I remember the flight and the times,
great work
Thank you very much!
I work with Elias, I think this is awesome!
Hi Nathaniel. That’s cool! and I am glad you liked it. Be well!
GOOD JOB!!! VERY DETAILED WITH CAPTIONS
Thank you very much Manuel! I really appreciate it. I am glad that you have enjoyed the video. All the best!
Nice video. Huge like. I also love flying with the 744...i did it already with Air France, Cathay Pacific, EVA Air and Saudia. Ah next month i will have a new opportunity..with Korean Air from Paris to Seoul...but with the 748. :)
Thank you very much Quentin! I am glad that you liked the video and great to know that you have flown on those airlines. Safe travels on the 748 💪to Seoul!
I am flying to FRA in November, they just changed plane from yvr to fra to their 747-400, from their newer 787-9. Crossing fingers that it stays that way. Last November, they switched it to Eurowings Discover!
Fingers crossed then! have a safe trip Carolyn!
I hope to fly on LH someday to Frankfurt! Enjoyed the video ❤
Thank you very much! It's very nice to hear that you have enjoyed it. Greetings!
Nice report! It’s been several years, but I flew on Lufthansa’s 744s quite a few times. Lufthansa maintains those planes so well, and when boarding, I always felt that I was slipping on a pair of comfortable old sturdy shoes.
Thank you very much for the comment! The cabin was well maintained and seats comfortable. It was a great experience for sure!
LH was a good choice back in the 80's.
That was when we have often chosen LH to fly long haul.
Subsequently seats gradually became uncomfortable and service dropped dramatically.
On both, whithin Europe and on International routes - on the ground and in the air!
By today we avoid flying LH whenever possible.
I understand that all and everything is about money, especially these days.
But constantly downgrading comfort and service just is a pain in the neck and unacceptable to us.
However, there is lot's of competition going on and whenever our plans call for travel Airlines such as KLM, Delta and JAL are our first choice.
For whatever reason Lufthansa has been rated a 5 Star Airline by SkyTrax will remain a mystery to us!
Never mind, good video though... confirming my overall impression and decision to further avoid LH.
Thank you Simonee! Glad that you liked the video. Your input is much appreciated as well!
Totally agree. Now you even need to purchase snacks on long haul flights in between the meal service. I prefer Air France, KLM or SWISS. Its cool to fly Lufthansa if 747 is your preference but thats about it. A muffin and fruit only for breakfast? 😮
I have always enjoyed flying on 747s. My last flight on one was from Osaka to Honolulu. What a smooth relaxing ride!
Thank you for comment! Same here. It was a great flight
I wish were i lived has the 400 but i have dash 8 so i flew to the closest place just to ride thr 400
Same here but it's worth it.👍
Hi sir, I am currently planning a trip from FKT to shanghai in one of these beauties with Lufthansa but I am afraid about the confornt in the cabin. I saw another KLM flight available in a 777-300 and to be honest it seems as comfortable as the 787. What do you think? what shall I chose?
Thanks
Hi Francisco. I haven't flown KLM's 777-300's but I found more comfortable the 787 than the 777 by far. The seats for the 777 should be a little wider than the 747-400 but I found these comfortable. The pitch between the two I believe is the same. Hope you'll enjoy your trip!
Wonderful aircraft , flown her many times on diff carriers in F/ J /Y classes over the years
Favorite was BA -400 in seat 2A was a “ perfect “ flight.
Sorry to see the king and queen of the sky’s go
Concorde was king
747 was queen
Miss Concorde also - amazing speed & service !
Yes it is! Nice to hear about your experience on BA. 747 "The Queen of the Skies"
As much as I love the 747, it is starting to age. Newer aircrafts like the 787 have a very elegant cabin. Loved this video, waiting for many more 👍
Thank you for the comment. I find the 787's cabin simple and elegant. Another transatlantic trip report to be uploaded soon! Stay tuned 😊
I’m sorry we will all crave a 747 when they are all gone
Nah, the Queen is ageless!
@@alexanderlane6007 totally agree, it's just that the interiors are kinda meh as compared to like 787 or A350. The 747-8 on the other hand is like the absolute dream.
@@PB-zz5vn Indeed, if you give me between the 787,a350, and the 747-8. There is no twice thinking!
hi how are you. Were those two people the only ones wearing a mask on the flight. Was LH strict about checked bag weight. How did you rate the customer service
Hi Duane. Very few people were wearing masks. Besides LH on board's service, I have not too much to add on the customer service since I booked this ticket thru United and I was connecting with Air Canada from New York so I checked the luggage with AC
I flew exactly this route and plane in August this year . One of my worst flying experience 😢. 2 and half hour delay, the plane was dirty. The food was baby meals and the chicken i was ordered was just a skin . The breakfast was an old cold muffin . Another thing is Frankfurt airport it is chaos.
I will not travel with Lufthansa again. Last 2 years i traveled with air Canada (was a nice flight) air france and KLM ( were a very good flight).
Can you charge your phone?
What’s the cost of internet in Lufthansa company?? Or is free?
The on board internet access service is not free for long-haul flights on Economy class. Lufthansa offers access by paying a fee as follows:
Messaging 7.00USD, 2 hours web browsing for $18.00USD and $27.00USD for the full flight. You can buy it in advance thru their website.
@@BoardingTimeHD thank you so much for this information… I had this curious 😉🤩
Did you said any Volcano in this flight?
Edit AND YES THANSK FOR 44 LIKES 01-43-44PM
How can I choose to fly on a 747 plane?
Hi Carlos. There are few operators that still fly the 747's. Some of them are Lufthansa, Asiana Airlines, Air China and Korean Air. Lufthansa operates all their 747's from Frankfurt to different destinations. If I am correct, currently to Miami, Chicago, Toronto, Buenos Aires just to mention some of them. You can check with them or with the other operators to be sure. Hope this helps!
BA is dry leasing 2 747 from storage.
Why didn't you fly direct from New York? I am sure LH flies to New York
Hi Eric. Yes they do. I recently posted my nonstop flight from New Yok-JFK with LH, you can check it out on my channel
Hi my name is Debbie fom romsey
Have a nice tim
Promo'SM
I just flew toronto to frankfurt then to turkey. With the 747 , i felt like it was super outdated with the cabij storage and seats
Its a 747 not a 744
Thank you for pointing that out. The 747-400 is also known as 744
Very nice video!! I hope my videos will be that good too in the future! 🥹🥹
They will for sure! 👍 Thank you very much for the comment! Glad that you’ve enjoyed the video! Another trip report will be uploaded soon!
