  • Lufthansa Trip Report flying from Frankfurt to New York JFK onboard one of the Lufthansa Boeing 747-400 on a lovely autumn morning.
    A comfortable flight from Frankfurt to New York JFK onboard the Lufthansa B747, as known as The Queen of the Skies. We managed to get the central seat free, which made the flight much easier. However, it didn't start as good as expected: the back cargo hold door was damaged during loading and Lufthansa Maintenance had to repair it before departure, which gave us around 1h delay.
    About the flight itself, we departed from runway 07C in Frankfurt and made a quick 180° turn to start our route to New York. Due to strong winds, our route today will take us more to the north than usual. We flew towards Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, Newcastle, Northern Ireland, the south of Greenland, Canada, Boston, and, finally, New York.
    About the onboard service, we all are well aware of the poor quality service that Lufthansa offers in Economy Class. However, I must say that this flight was better. The crew first passed with a drinks service, just after takeoff. Around 2h after departing from Frankfurt, the lunch service started. Surprisingly there were 2 options: chicken or pasta. I decided to try the chicken option and, being honest, it was not bad at all. It came with some sauce, rice, and spinach. The salad was just lettuce and the cake... well, the same as always. I asked for a second round of warm food as I was really hungry and they offered me the pasta, which was one that I had already on a previous flight. They are a very polite crew.
    For the pre-landing snack, we were offered a cheese with vegetable sauce sandwich that was tasting better than looking, together with drinks.
    Now it is your turn! Have you ever flown with Lufthansa? Which route? Onboard which plane? Have you ever flown on a Boeing 747? Have you ever been in New York? Maybe in Frankfurt? What do you think about the Lufthansa onboard service?
    Lots of things to talk about! Read you in the comments!

    I once flew the British airways 747 from LHR to Beijing. After the flight, me and my dad asked if we could go to the top deck and see the business class seats. The cabin crew kindly let us up, and just as we got up there, the pilots were leaving the cockpit. They let us both in, and gave me a plane model and their pilot hat. My best experience ever and why I love BA so much!

    Mi primera experiencia en B747 (soy muy “carca”) se remonta a 1986 de Londres a Tokio con escala en Anchorage por la ruta polar con JAL. El único entretenimiento a bordo era la proyección de películas en pantalla de cine y música en auriculares. En cuanto al retraso en la salida de vuestro vuelo, pues vale más arreglar bien las cosas antes de salir que tener un problema de despresurización al tomar altura. Como siempre gracias por compartir. Nos haces sentir como que estamos viajando contigo. Saludos.

    Nice video! Such a lovely flight! I was never able to take a flight with a Boeing 747 before. The only time that I went in a 747 was in 2011, when I visited the aviation museum at Le Bourget airport, near Paris. There is a former Air France Boeing 747-100 in static exhibition there, and it is possible to get into the plane to visit it! Kinda sad that nowadays there are very few passenger 747 flying in commercial services. As I am being from Brazil, my last chance to fly aboard a 747 is to book a ticket with Lufthansa from São Paulo (GRU) to Frankfurt (FRA), for the flight LH507. Ah, just forgot. The current largest operator of passenger Boeing 747-400 is Rossiya Airlines, from Russia, with a fleet of nine aircraft of the model. Cheers!

  • @Ben-xe8ps
    @Ben-xe8ps Před rokem

    Over the decades I have flown on all versions of the 747, including the SP, except the 747-8 in First, Business and Economy class. My very first 747 flight was in Y class aboard an AF 747-200 from CDG-HKG in early 1978 routed CDG-NCE-TLV-THR-DEL-BKK-HKG!
    I can recall the standard 70's configuration with the 9-abreast (2 X 4 X 3) normally 34 inch pitch Y class configuration which was very nice and comfortable. I have seen this change to 3 X 4 X 3 and the pitch reduce to 31 inches on many carriers over the years. I have travelled F class in the days of 6 rows about 40 inch pitch in the nose of a 747-100/200 with the upstairs lounge and seen the abolition of the upstairs lounges, the reduction in F seats to 4 rows with a pitch of about 62 inches in the nose and then the introduction of modern day lie-flat products. I recall the very early business class configurations, often just Y class seats with enhanced cabin service, style, to the change to 8 abreast and then 7 abreast seating and then the introduction of modern day lie-flat products.
    I flew several times in business class aboard the LH 747-400's to the Far East in the early 90's. In their original configuration, LH put F class (20 seats - 2 X 2 62 inch pitch) on the upper deck and used the nose, the second and, in some very premium heavy configurations, part of the 3rd cabin as business class with initially 8 abreast changed later to 7 abreast seating (2 X 2 in the nose).
    Generally I liked travelling aboard a 747.
    When I watch videos such as this the one thing that always gets my attention is the reduction in catering quantity and quality in Y class today. That single cheese sandwich and nothing else as the second service is a joke. How much would it cost LH to provide something a bit more substantial than that!

      @OnBoardHD  Před rokem

    First flight on 747 was in 1978 Clipper Constitution from LHR to JFK with PanAm had only flown on a Viscount so was blown away by the Jumbo Jet, flight back to Heathrow was also on a 747, 1979 Pan Am 747 LHR to LA then Pan Am 747 out to Hawaii Pan Am 747 and back to SanFransico, Pan Am 747 back to LHR.
    Since then various flights to the US mainly on 747s including Virgin, BA and United last 747 was 22 years old (British Airways) but have since flown British Airways A380 certainly a far better experience than my last 747 trip

    Hello..., yes I flew with Boing 767 in Summer of 1986 together with my father as we flew from also Frankfurt to New York JFK, but with the airline PIA (Pakistan International Airlines). And I also flew with Lufthansa in an Airbus A 320 from Frankfurt to Stockholm with a Christian travel agency (Liebenzeller Mission Freizeiten & Reisen) in December 2003 over New Years Eve. Our destiny was Galsjö Bruk in the Swedish province of Angermanland in the middle of Sweden.

    @lvsluggo007 Před 10 měsíci

    The one and only time I ever got to fly on the "Queen" was back in July 1971. I was in the US Army stationed at Ft Hood TX. I had some leave and a long weekend and decided to drive up to Dallas and fly home to San Diego for a few days. Back then, the airlines had what was called a "Military standby" fare. I paid $97 from Dallas to San Diego and back. But, since this was a VERY busy time (4th of July), every flight west on Delta was packed. I arrived at Love Field around noon, and by around 10pm that evening, I was getting discouraged. I asked a Delta agent if there was anything else going ANYWHERE on the west coast this night. He said there was one more, going to LA at 2am, and he'd guarantee I'd get on it.
    I asked him how he could be so sure, and he replied it was Delta's ATL-DAL-LAX "redeye", and it was one of thier new 747s. Sure enough I got on the plane, with 20 pax and 10 cabin crew. Blew my mind they'd not cancel a flght with THAT few pax.. Caught a Delta flight to
    San Diego in the morning, and got home nearly 24 hours after leaving the Army base.

    Thank you for sharing your flight here. It looked very nice. You were sitting somewhat in the back there. Did you have enough time before flight to go the Lufthansa Lounge? And were you able to get Premium Economy or Business Class at this time.for more leg room. Yes, I miss flying on the USA's 747-400s. I would always use my points to get Business Class. And I have traveled in Premium Economy right behind Business. I am tall so I need the leg room! I heard the kids around you. Did they go to sleep for a little bit. Again, thank you for sharing.

    La semana pasada A380 y ésta el B747, ¡que mas se puede pedir!. Mi primer viaje, con uso de razón, a los diez años fue en el Lope de Vega de Iberia. Recuerdo llegar a la terraza de Maiquetía y ver "eso" enfrente y creo que habré quedado alelado. Era una sensación de grandiosidad tremenda. Luego volé en otros 747 como el Cervantes y el Tirso de Molina. El viaje más corto fue de Madrid a Santiago de Compostela, que luego éste iba a New York. El avión era para nosotros solos. Una delicia volar en éste avión, me falta el A380.

    Hi! My first flight with a 747 was in December 1975 with American Airlines 747-100 from San Juan to JFK connecting to Pan Am 747-200 from JFK to FRA! Then a few years later Avianca 747-200 from SJU-MAD-PAR-FRA. I flew the 747 a lot. The most "exotic" was with Air India and Iran Air 747SP from LHR. I still look to fly Lufthansa BUT with all the airport strikes at german airports I am avoiding Germany. Still looking at Korean Air. Too bad UNITED didn't keep the 747. Lets see if you are able to get on KE's 747*8i. Thanks!

    Lufthansa plans to continue flying 747-8i until 2040 or thereabout. Fun fact: Lufthansa is only airline to have flown the 747 the longest, uninterrupted since its first 747 delivered in 1970 to this day. Many of the early adopters in the 1970s have either gone out of business or ended the 747 service early.
    Air China, Iraqi Airways, and Rossiya Airlines still fly passenger 747-400 along with Lufthansa.
    My first-ever flight was with Lufthansa 747-100 from Frankfurt to Chicago in 1973. Ever since, I've flown with all 747 variations except 747SP. My most recent 747 flight was Lufthansa 747-8i from Rio de Janeiro to Frankfurt. What a huge difference between -8i and older variations!
    Frankfurt am Main aeroport is only one in the world to stick with mechanical letter turners for the departure information panels since its opening in 1972. Passengers love hearing the gentle drones of flaps flipping down and watching them in action (almost like the waterfall action).

    My best experience in Premium Economy was when B.A, used the 747 on my regular route but unfortunately it’s no more. I flew Business with Lufthansa on their 747 just before the pandemic, seated in the upper cabin it was very nice but nothing exceptional, food and service not as good as Air France or KLM which are the airlines I now use.
