11 Hours on Lufthansa’s Queen of the Skies - San Francisco to Frankfurt

It's been awhile since I've made an airplane video, so what better way to make up for the past 5 months than with an international transatlantic flight from the west coast! Back in November of 2021, I flew aboard Lufthansa's B747-8 from San Francisco, California to Frankfurt, Germany in Economy which turned out to be a really nice experience...helped immensely by the lack of two passengers next to me. Actually got to have some real sleep on a plane for once and I for the most part enjoyed the food and drinks offered onboard as well. I'm hoping to upload more flight videos again here soon, but hope you enjoy this video!

It's a good day when thejazzguy uploads a video

[@vennispollock8549]

I love his voice...

[@ThatOneAviator777]

I agree with you!🎉

[@mechanicalpants]

Flying half across the world in only half a day (and in such comfort) is truly a marvel of our age! I love the 747, thankyou 👍

[@tomseagraves]

I've been missing seeing your videos. Thanks for posting this one. Travel safe!

[@crazycoollady]

Thanks for sharing this video. That flight definitely sounded like a great experience.

[@williamsmothermon9928]

I really like your videos! Keep up the great work!!

[@richardmoore2590]

Nice to see you back in action. You do an excellent job of presenting your flight and explaining your surroundings.

[@LeeMoore-tu4gr]

Man im just glad your back making flight videos again. Saw your video the other week explaining where you had gone and I totally get this not being a priority with so much else going on. Still happy you're back!!!

[@RJ-luci]

Wow! Such a wonderful video…….And All That Jazz🎶!!

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Great video presentation, Chris! Thanks for uploading the video!

[@smplummerjr]

Cheers Mate from Maine glad to see another video

[@MerkyAviation11]

Great video, I enjoyed it! The cinematics and everything was very immersive. I'm glad you shared your experience of Luftyjet's (nickname I call for Lufthansa) Economy Class experience to us even if it's over 2 years ago. As a person who has last flown on the airline over a decade ago, it's really nice to see that they have kept it consistent especially during the pandemic. Now that we're in post-pandemic, if I was to fly on Luftyjet again I wouldn't be expecting the exact same experience you had with them.

[@bananaabong]

Vid was super helpful - thank you!

[@doubledbbw]

Great video. I made numerous trips across the Atlantic into Frankfurt while I was in the Army. Several on the older 747 200, DC-10, L1011 and 767. I hope that you enjoyed your visit in Europe too.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Such a great video and flight Chris!😸

[@FireAlarmHowTooGuy]

Welcome back. I am flying on a Cathay Pacific A350-1000 from JFK to HKG next month. 16 hours on the airbus and then from HongKong to Manila on an A321neo

[@PakistaniAvgeek]

Great video I missed your daily uploading glad your back!

[@ZachAttack121]

He’s back with videos!!! I’m so happy. Are you still releasing the videos in order of how you flew them. I like seeing a whole trip and how all the flights line up

[@thejazzguy13]

That's the plan! Might sprinkle in a new one here & there...but for the time being yah

[@jmdruff1995]

Great to see your videos again, hope you're doing well 😁German speaker from the UK residing in Ireland here!

[@SkyHighGuys]

Good morning dude!!! Great video. I cannot wait for my Europe trips coming up. You’ve just inspired. And a 747??? Nice

[@ron2278]

Excellent! ✈️✈️✈️✈️

[@TheHagerman12]

missed these man. thank u

[@K4Ediamond]

I took a 747-400 of Lufthansa in 2017. Even though that variant is older it somehow had much more updated screens than what you got on this plane. But it’s nice to hear you tried a 747 before they disappear!

[@colinrenfrew48]

Nice video. I like your style, so subscribed. Cheers!

[@natureexplorers7194]

its always a good day when the jazzguy uploads

[@apa182]

welcome back!

[@Eyob797]

A very cool flight Vlog.

[@Yukis.aviation]

I’m going to fly on LH’s 747-400 in July, I can’t even describe how excited I am

[@idxluaviation]

cool review, i'd like to see more transatlantic economy :)

[@chnalvr]

Flying out of the Bay Area on a clear day is stunning! I did not know that Lufthansa flew the 747 during the pandemic. Most airlines seemed to store their 747s and A380s due to low passenger counts.

[@redcomusic]

I've already crossed off Lufthansa from the bucket list (via their old A340 in 2019) but...if I can catch a 747 to/from O'Hare then I'll put it back on. I don't know if I'll do another Europe trip this year, been thinking about doing more bike touring/trails like the GAP or the C&O. - Red

[@cyberi4a]

The five across seating in the center section of the L1011 made for a nice lay flat bed on night flights.

[@gunvaldsandhaland7757]

I Havent Experience B747-8,I Have Alot Of Fligth On B747-400 Whit KLM, And QANTAS.Great Trip Report

[@ryanridder4576]

I’ve never been on a 747 before! The -8 is probably nicer than the old 747-400’s which have mainly been converted to freighters

[@sanmateoflights]

Seat 32K on 747-8. (Equivalent to seat 43K on the 747-400) Those views of takeoff in SFO were brilliantly stunning !

[@vivianr.madalo3806]

This guy needs to get more subscribers

[@JosephLink]

Loved the seizure after eating that cheddar cheese

[@cornboy9567]

Awesome video as always

[@crazycoollady]

I agree. His vlogs are getting better over time.

[@EWRFLYER]

Right, that ending so well done.

[@skiparkcityut]

I’ve done the economy lie flat bed on many domestic red eyes. I highly recommend your head towards the isle with a pillow against the arm rest as a barrier. Your feet against the wall. You can get a tad more room and don’t have to panic your legs stick into the isle and get destroyed by a cart. I’ve tried both

[@michaelb9629]

I’ve always been thinking about how I want to fly on a Lufthansa 747 to Frankfurt. I really want to do it later this decade and fly from O’hare, it’d be less time of course which is all I need. I am visiting Chicago and went on a short United Express flight from there to South Bend, IN on a CRJ 200. I was supposed to do it back in December until it could no longer happen so I’m glad I finally made it up. I did that on Tuesday this week and it went very well. A week from today I’m flying back home to Chattanooga also on United Express but it should be on an E175. They started flying those aircraft types between those airports last month.

[@sfkid9445]

Should try Lufthansa’s competitor Condor A330-900 neo. That plane is so quiet and comfy.

[@Livy2k122]

Jazz helps with my anxiety for some reason lol 😂

[@tjeuvreeburg2347]

I literally died and shat my pants when you tried the cheese. HAHA

[@RTSAvation]

Nice Video! Are you ever going to finish your Yellowstone series?

[@thejazzguy13]

Na I scrapped the rest of that lol was only like two mediocre flights left

[@RTSAvation]

Oh ok

[@BhupinderSingh-gc5rt]

[@FalsumVis]

[@kabirdua1841]

[@SubManProds09]

Are we not gonna talk about what happened to you when you ate the cheese 10:18

[@df446]

[@deepalperera4592]
