Thanks for sharing your experiences. We are flying in Business Class with Lufthansa in November to Miami and I was curious how it will be.

I took this service in march 24 and although it may be a bit dated. I couldn't complain. My suggestion is if possible always fly in the bubble.

@@liftoffandtravel The flight was full. What made it feel special was the lack of seats,it felt very much like being in 1st class or on private jet. Plus a more quite cabin. I have family history with the 747 so I can honestly say it was the best flight I have ever been on. I only hope I will get to fly again. Book a flight on a 747 and if you can book a upper deck seat. Ps the total seats are 32 with a layout 2-2 across

Just for future reference, there is no “th” sound in German like English “thanks” or “the.” Lufthansa is pronounced “Looft-HANS-uh” in which the t and h stay separate and do not combine.

We have flown on 747s many times, from long ago when there was a bar to the current renditions. Since my husband and I always travel together, the seating has never bothered me. What always concerns me is how well-maintained they were. Your flight looked like a fine one.

Yes to be fair to the age of the product it didn't have any major wear and tear. They look very new. Unlike some airlines who have had their product a few years. I think because we live in a world where airlines are pushing for privacy it's viewed as dated but the seat is very comfortable and the cabin crew fantastic. When did they get rid of the bars?

@@liftoffandtravel@liftoffandtravel In the 70s, the lounges and bars were prolific in the 747, but I think 1991 was the last time we saw the lounge, and I think it was BA, but not sure.

Small correction: Condor is not part of the Lufthansa Group. It was formerly owned by Thomas Cook, which went bankrupt, and is not to be confused with the Lufthansa Group's leisure airline Discover, which also has a blue and yellow striped livery. Condor's livery is very distinctive and has been a source of much controversy, and excellent marketing for its new brand redesign starting 2022.

Thank you, yes a few people have mentioned this. Clearly I was the last one to know 😂 Totally agree, I have heard a few not many moan about the livery but I think it's brilliant especially as they decided to go with so many colours. Truely iconic! 💛💙❤️💚🖤

@@liftoffandtravel The brand mostly produces studio equipment (microphones, headphones, ...) geared towards professional use. But since they were acquired by Harman in 1994 (which later became a subsidiary of Samsung) they also began producing for a broader consumer market (i.e. at lower price points). For details just go to Wikipedia :-)
