LUXURIOUS Lufthansa 747 FIRST CLASS *Incredible Experience!*

I'm onboard Lufthansa’s incredible First Class for 12 hours! This is perhaps one of the most epic aviation experiences of my life, not only because of how inaccessible Lufthansa’s First Class is (with tickets costings upwards for $8000!) but being on board the 747, in the nose. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to be sitting in front of the pilots onboard this flight!
Lufthansa is one of only three airlines operating the 747-8 commercially. And given the last year it’s increasingly hard to get onboard one. Both BA and KLM has canned the use of their planes (albeit older versions) but Lufthansa is still operating their new 747s on a handful of routes.
I'm stating my journey today in London where I need to fly over to Frankfurt to catch the Queen of the Skies. In usual times Lufthansa provide access to their First Class terminal, entirely dedicated to First Class passengers. What's more this involves being driven across the tarmac to your flight in a Porsche!

“Before I go Harry Potter on you” haha classic….. seems like you need to do this review again when the first class terminal and lounge open back up to get the full experience and Porsche service.

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks for watching mate. Harry Potter haha 🧙🏻‍♂️- and for sure, already planning on it when the First Terminal opens next month

[@hothotheat3000]

YES! I love Lufthansa! Their attention to detail is fantastic, the lounge is nice (when open), great food, comfy seats, and their FAs have always been so kind and attentive. It’s classy. They give you a first class EXPERIENCE that makes the cost of the ticket worth it. Cannot recommend them enough.

[@Trektrendy]

Absolutely agreed, I think its one of the few remaining old school First Class products. Not the bling of Emirates but the class and refinement of luxurious travel. I need to go back to experience the terminal next month when it reopens.

[@hothotheat3000]

Yup. I like Emirates, don’t get me wrong, but there’s a timelessness to Lufthansa. If Emirates is an Instagram model, Lufthansa is Audrey Hepburn.

Amazing cinematography, perfect audio, and the best balance of professionalism and irreverence. Always a thrill!

[@bb97000]

Actually no. it's not that expensive if you’re connecting through Dubai. Direct flights over 12h like DXB to AKL or LAX are the expensive ones. Sometimes they give you special offer to upgrade. I was able to experience first class with the price of economy, flying from HKG to DXB.

Will, I found your channel a week, or so ago, and am totally hooked. I am 68 yrs. old, retired, and binge watching, starting with your oldest videos. I am, after the week, up to June 21, 2021. Can’t wait to see more. Well done young man. Thanks for all of the entertainment, information, and humor. It’s been quite the journey thus far. Enjoying you from Mexico City. PS: I wanted to mention that I enjoy the respect you give everyone you meet, as it is then given back to you. For the most part.

Sorry to say, the incredible part of your experience is not the First Class, but the hailstorm during approach. That's pretty amazing! The last time I remembering seeing about this, Delta scrapped their 747 after the flight.

[@johnsymonstcu]

Hi, Will. Great review. The 747 is my all time favorite aircraft and the 747-8i is truly the top of the line. What a beautiful bird. I tend to expect an enclosed suite, especially in First Class international but this Lufthansa cabin seemed to be satisfactory as there were so many unoccupied seats. I get a weird feeling trying to sleep if I know that people can look at me. 🤣 The food service was impressive and I am glad that you were able to enjoy such a premium champagne 🍾. Hope you had an enjoyable time in Mexico. Take care and I will be eagerly awaiting your next vlog. 🤗❤🛫🙏🌎

[@paulthabokekana8528]

I also thought all first class suites are enclosed. I guess not. I would prefer an enclosed one. My privacy is too precious 😂

[@Sanznachito]

Absolutely epic Will….. I’ve very much been looking forward to this review! Despite the lack of Frankfurt FIRST facilities, the flight itself looked incredible, you’ll no doubt be back one day to experience it all over again. Thanks so much for sharing! 🤙

Considering I have always travelled heavy with backpack purse, carry-on and 2 big checked bags, I set a challenge for myself when I was planning to travel for 10 days to France with only my carry-on. I researched and found blogs where there was advice on how and what to pack and SURPRISINGLY I did it! I could have even eliminated a couple of tops, but that's ok... I wore them. After that trip I definitely have travelled lighter... and it's a good thing. Great videos! They are so fun and enjoyable to watch. Love it.

I love this video, and even though I might never be able to afford this flight, after watching The Flight Channel, I’m not thrilled about being in the front of the plane.... it seems to be the most dangerous part of the plane when things go Mayday. I would have been mortified with that hail storm 😂... You are awesome ! 😎 Thanks for sharing these videos!

Indeed, more chances of survival if you are seated in the back. At least you'll have a classy death in seat #1 and maybe they'll search for your remains first if you crash.

[@gilbydog7350]

Not always, look up the Tenerife disaster when two 747s slammed into each other on the runway. First Class on the Pan Am was the safest place to be, because the rest of the fuselage was hit by an accelerating 747.

Having flown LH first class though Frankfurt prior to pandemic, it was amazing. That said, there is No way I would ever pay to fly first class with closed First class lounges, no transport to the plane, and no food in senator lounges, and having to wear a mask, unless it was deeply, deeply discounted. Why has COVID become the worldwide excuse for piss poor customer service at full fare price??!

Way back in the dark ages, well 1983 to be exact, I was flying on a sardine standby ticket from Buffalo, NY to Sydney, AUS. A long story was involved as to why I as doing that flight, but that is another story. When I got to LAX I was informed that I would have to wait to see if any space was available on the Sydney flight. Later on I was called to the service desk and was told there was only one seat left, but it was first class... 'Do I have to pay more?' I asked, 'No' they said! I jumped at the chance. That was the first and last time I have ever flown first class, now if only I had the money to do that all the time, it was an eye opener for a pleb like me, they fell all over me, offering lots of goodies etc, I suppose they didn't know I was flying on a sardine standby ticket...
