The guy to your right had the show of a lifetime! Can't imagine what he would have done without you there. First Class, top noche on Lufthansa. I've flown first class once in my life and it was the most wonderful experience ever. Although it was an overnight flight, I stayed up the entire time to get every perk available and I'm glad I did. The service, amenities, food, booze, Galley full of snacks, constant attention was incredible! Most everyone in First Class was sleeping which I found a total waste of the flight price. No way was I going to sleep and miss out on the luxury! I thoroughly enjoyed your vlog and as a new subscriber, look forward to more vlogs.

[@fatimah8438]

Hey Josh, I get emotional watching your reviews for Lufthansa. I moved to America when I was 6 from Germany but flew back and forth via Lufthansa every summer into my early 20's. I loved every aspect of flying from being at the international airports and seeing all the different people flying and wondering where they were going. I loved the take off's and landings (even though that is the most dangerous part) I liked to movies, the smiling flight attendants, the soothing voice of the Captain and on and on. However in my 20's I developed a phobia of flying, now it seems to be around turbulence. I so want to take my kids to Germany to show them where I grew up, I am planning for next May. You seem so comfortable with turbulence...is there anything that makes you nervous? Great video's, you are living my dream. I don't blame the guy for watching you lol...you provided much needed inflight entertainment I'm sure.

[@jatterhog]

I recommend flying the 747-8 for the ultimate nostalgia! Plus, splurging for first class (or using miles) on the return leg and using the private terminal at Frankfurt is guranteed to be amazing!

[@grumpygrandma257]

I remember when I flew, the feeling of being pushed into my seat by the acceleration of the engines before take off. No one mentions it, but I loved it lol. I love your videos, you're so polite and friendly with everyone, and I appreciate your honest reviews.

I've flown the Lufthansa 748 in business class on the upper deck. It's definitely top 5 of my flying experience, not necessarily for the hard product, but the soft product and the aircraft itself. I hope I can experience it on Korean Air or Air China before these wonderful birds leave the sky for good.

[@TaniTaniwha]

Great review Josh. I too, had the Lufthansa 747-8 on my bucket list and two years ago I ticked it off and flew New York to Frankfurt on the mighty Queen of the Skies. Actually, my 11 y.o. daughter and I were on our world trip less than a year after we lost our Mum/wife. I specifically routed our trip to NYC (which was amazing) to take this flight and this aircraft. My only regret was we took the overnight flight as, like yourself, I totally enjoy the experience of the flight and we were upstairs in Business, so felt a little cheated they seemed to rush the service to get everyone settled down to sleep. (Later we had a similar experience in Business on a Singapore Airlines A380 (good but not a 747), Singapore to Sydney so it's not the airline, just the timing I think). It was only a 7 or 8 hour flight so lesson learnt, we'll be on a daytime flight next time. Thanks so much for sharing, I really enjoyed your video.

This was amazing! Thank you for showing this part of your life and this experience. Part of my dream and life as an AVGEEK is to fly LH First. I got lucky once - I was flying UA from ICN-ORD back before UA got rid of the 747's. Didn't have status with UA, but they upgraded me to First - Seat 1A. Had no clue until boarding - scanned my boarding pass and it errored out. I was so surprised. It would be cool to see you or meet up with you one day on a flight. Looking forward to your next video.

Flown once first class London to San Juan on the 747, its was nothing like that Josh. I do remember thinking I must seem quite unusual to be in first class. Most of the passengers slept and lolled after dinner, my wife and I just kept eating and drinking. I think the lady who looking after us quite enjoyed the fact we were obviously not regulars. She made blood mary's most of the flight. It was amazing, the actual flight one way was more than our week cruise.

[@barryeisenkraft8581]

Since flying business/first class I’ve only wanted to fly during the day. When I was in high school I worked during the summers at Kennedy airport delivering duty free liquor to the planes. It was sometime between 1967 or 1968 when the first 744 started flying. They were amazing with lounges on the top floor and such varieties on all the different national airlines. For many years I would try to book my flights on 744’s. I found it the best ride of all jets that I’ve flown. Love your commentaries/videos.

In October 2019 flew First Class for first time. It was return to Shanghai from London via Munich one way and Frankfurt the other. Cost £1,800 each which I thought was very good value. Also we had 1A and 2A in nose of the 747. Incredible experience. Flight was late coming back to Frankfurt for our connection to London, so the two of us were met by the famous Porsche and driven to our departure gate just in time for the flight.

[@robertwalters8540]

@@400workout They were a special offer advertised in the UK earlier in 2019. Not sure what was the airline rationale at the time. But for the next few years, I think these fares are long gone. Incidentally, in April this year I flew BA First Class for the approximately same return fare, London to San Francisco. But this was booked a year in advance during the Covid time when airlines were desperate for an inflow of cash.

[@patland1762]

Epic indeed! In the 1980's I worked systems production support on the 747 skins production and a full reorganization of the 747 parts inventory. My most epic flight in my life was on a 747 from Los Angeles California (LAX) to Bali Indonesia with all of 20 passengers on board for the entire flight with a stop over in Honolulu and Biak to refuel apparently. Needless to say no seat assignment. It turned out the other passengers were all travel agents given a free trip to Bali to promote the island.

[@neilpickup237]

Could I ever justify the cost of First Class (even if I could afford it!) - no way; would I love to experience it at least once - you bet I would! I loved the way the crew set up spare seats as beds for each of you, so you could just move for a sleep or a nap without having to re-arrange your allocated seat. I also think I prefer the idea of a seat privacy screen which can disappear, giving you a more airy cabin rather than being cocooned in a (admittedly luxurious) pod, yet can be raised to give additional privacy if required.

[@aljawad]

My last 747 flight was on Qantas to Japan. I don’t know, but when I fly 1st class I prefer a cabin with its own door rather than just seat with a divider. A shower before landing is also nice.

Many years ago, I flew on a charter flight by 'Ward Air' out of Vancouver Canada to Scotland on a 747 to go golfing. Seating was first come first served and since we had to drive to Vancouver we were early. We sat in main deck at the very front. We could have spent $50 more and been up in the top but we were just out of college so that was too much. It was fun being able to see a bit forward out the windows and Ward Air served very good food on real china and flatware. I could not believe how nice it was at the price. Everyone (unless you wanted upper deck) paid the same.
