A Frantic Ride aboard Lufthansa’s RETRO A321

My trek back to the USA's West Coast had me first aboard a very early morning, stressful in every sense of that word, flight on Lufthansa's Retro A321 to Frankfurt, Germany where I'd connect to LA. Never wanna have to go through this experience ever again...was terrible. But at least I got to board somehow and I made my next flight...or did I? Hope you guys enjoy!

It has to be said you have a really good voice for voiceover.

[@amogus6557]

Nice vid! I can relate to super early flights bc we have to leave at 2:30 or 3 am

[@Springbok314]

I love the retro livery airliners! The lightening bolt AA Astro jet, the BOAC 744., the United Stars and Stripes, etc. We need a Pan American clipper!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Fantastic video Chris!😸

[@michaelb9629]

At least you got lucky with being able to make the flight on board the retro livery and the connection so far if I have that right. That reminds me of when I mentioned that I got to O’hare an hour later than I expected because I took CTA and there was a problem with one of those tracks on the blue line. Luckily the security line wasn’t really much of a wait and I had plenty of time to spare when I got to my gate, which wasn’t too far even though I missed the turn and quickly got lost.

Your presenting voice for these voiceover vlogs keeps getting better. I am so proud.

[@MatthewsAviationChannel]

Same here

[@mikestiles811]

Another good video dude thank you and Go Pens!

I Like The Retro Livery To Lufthansa.Great Trip Report

[@sushi777300]

6:26 was that the overview of connecting flights for all passengers on board or a general overview of flights from FRA? I always find it interesting to see where other passengers on a flight are heading 😅

[@RJ-luci]

What a stressful pain in the butt! Glad you got there ok and on time😊

[@BRTripReport]

Gorgeous retro livery!

[@K4Ediamond]

No way man I took that same plane! D-AIDV was actually given to Eurowings a few months ago. I hope they’ll repaint the retro livery on a different A321.

[@theaviator_7678]

Didn't expect to se you here!

[@redcomusic]

Wow! Reminds me of when I stayed at the Courtyard (Marriott) adjacent to the Prague Airport, which was also connected by bridge. I didn't get to use the bridge though, because that was a flight not until later that evening from Prague to Seoul on Korean Air; I just went and took the bus into the city center for some sightseeing. - Red

[@joeydurborow5670]

Your videos are awesome

[@michaelsharp3615]

Usually with check-in they stop it or add a late check-in on the tag meaning not a guarantee you board the flight or the bag makes it on

[@ronaldlucasjr8299]

Safe travels

[@michaelsharp3615]

Crazy how long check-in lines are especially at European airports

[@michaelsharp3615]

At least Lufthansa has options to view such as destination info, flight time, connecting flight information as well as arrival time so passengers can make their connecting flights

[@michaelsharp3615]

Lufthansa mainline is like flying ultra low cost especially how uncomfy those seats are

[@michaelsharp3615]

Lufthansa and United are part of star alliance meaning Chris starts on Lufthansa then ends on United

[@theaviator_7678]

Are you also gonna upload a trip report of your second leg to LA as well?

[@michaelsharp3615]

Next flight up will be from Frankfurt to LA

[@AT-nq6cu]

LOT Polish Airlines flies from Warsaw to LAX using the 787 Dreamliner. You could've taken a train from Katowice to Warsaw. I'm sure going via Frankfurt was a better option and less expensive.

[@WeloveclipsAndmore]

At 3:31 I thought it was the engine I was like why does it sound like that

[@michaelsharp3615]

Must've been a staffing issue in Krakow when you flew

[@michaelsharp3615]

In Frankfurt is where Chris goes through leaving the EU customs

[@michaelsharp3615]

At least you didn't deplane on a bus gate

[@ninocastro6219]

Good polish

[@ronaldcharan2705]

A very tired looking A321.

[@-er-un1wt]

Unfortunately this livery is now gone has the plane has gone to Eurowings

[@Kilosim]

FIRST

[@PhilipTamayo]

You would have just set up a Hilton honors account for your travels

[@ginaalexander235]

When are you planning to fly in Qatar Airways, Emirates airlines or Etihad Airways?

[@DitsMerzthalBravo]

Terrible hard product from a "reputable" airline. Classic sad flying experience within Europe.
