Lufthansa A380 First Class | New Delhi to Frankfurt trip report

[@Twintailwinds]

You have the cleanest videos on KZbin. No talking, no unnecessary narration. You really make it feel like the viewer is there experiencing it themself. It’s appreciated

[@lauramcquade2438]

If they are retired - forever - this is a lovely tribute to those planes. Thank you.

[@dipanwitamandal7289]

man, the King can't possibly retire.

[@o.c.g.m9426]

As of December 2022 there are 237 A380s in the sky. Nice lil ploy/statement they said to get demand up

[@bradbenjames]

I flew Lufthansa Business Class on the 747-4 from Frankfurt to Orlando in January and it was absolutely amazing. Never been more happy with a flight. I have also flown with them in Economy and Premium Economy and were also amazing flights. The crew takes care of everyone on the flight and is very helpful. I am hoping to try out their first class when I can actually afford it!

[@travelwithstyle2738]

Yes nice flight

[@SD_702]

The lighting with the flower is just so class. It legitimately makes it feel like a home environment. And 31" seat width! What a dream.

[@rossrreyes]

My favorite part of an A380s business class is that you are up on the second floor so far away from the engine that it is unusually and wonderfully quiet. It is a shame that the plane isn’t made anymore

[@ArmyMan2940]

I am a Mechanic for Lufthansa in Frankfurt and enjoyed working on such a magnificent aircraft. I worked on D-AIMM yesterday prepairing the aircraft for parking procedure. So sad to see the a380 just sitting there. So glad you got to enjoy it one last time. Here is to hoping they will return to service soon.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I hope so too 🤞

[@skyflier552]

I once had the chance to fly LH First Class on an A380. Everything was superb (incl. the service and the interaction with the cabin crew). LH knows how to create a true premium experience.

[@robyoungquist5803]

I usually fly from the States to Europe (to visit my Siblings) on Lufthansa First Class and route myself through FRA with a 2 hour layover so I can shower and recharge in the First Class Terminal. I like the perk of being driven to my onward connection in either an Audi, Mercedes or Porsche. I’ve always found the inflight staff to be personable at the same time professional. Service is top notch and I ❤️ the freshly scrambled eggs in the morning for breakfast. On return, I book either Swiss or SAS (depending on which Sibling I’m visiting) nonstop home because by the end of the trip, I just want to be in my own home in my own bed straight away. Sadly, I don’t think travel as a whole will return to pre-COVID 19 until at least 2022 if then. 😔. Best Regards to you and your family. 😉

[@vorpommerinaustralia5418]

Thanks for that nice words. 😍

[@bernardcleary4330]

I took this same flight in January 2019, also in first class. It's a lovely hard product, though I was too tired to enjoy the service very much, having transited through Delhi on an itinerary that originated in Bangkok the evening before. My flight the next day, from Frankfurt to Washington DC in Lufthansa first, was much more enjoyable. It does sadden me to know the A380s could be permanently grounded.

[@Cyberduck96]

Here are some songs he used in his video. From 12:28 to 16:51 its Running with the Herd from Dexter Britain. And from 18:20 to 21:05 its A Lament for Peace (Reprise) from Ryan Taubert. Both songs fits so good with that video O.o

[@tlldrkhndy]

I've flown Lufthansa many times; always from Boston to Germany and back. I love this airline. Though I've never flown on an A380, I have flown on their A340s, A330 and, most recently, a new A350. It was fantastic. I look forward to traveling with them again.

[@chicocabalatungan8831]

This got me more emotional that it should've. You always knock it out of the park with your vids! Safe Travels! :D

[@5cats2kids8]

Chico Cabalatungan it also did that to me. I think it’s the dramatic changes in our world, the set back of beauty and advancement and inventions and enterprise. The artistry in food and sharing of culture. The appreciation of freedom and exploration. My first time in a grocery store, I took a second to just stand there and look at all the people in masks, etc., it broke my heart. Lastly, my daughter went to college for travel and tourism, and got a great job in her major. After 4 months of temporary furlough, she was permanently furloughed last week. This has devastated the travel and tourism industry. 💔 It was her heart and soul.....

[@anirudhholavanahalli9700]

I am always a huge fan of the A380 and seeing this video I am going through more emotions than I expected. Hope the A380 can come back!

[@ayasswain]

This is the best luxurious flight travel video i have seen so far. The recorded scenes, background music compliment each other. Excellent editing. Lufthansa is one of the best flight service in the world. The food looks classic. I had flown from Bangalore to Detroit(US) with a change of flight at Frankfurt with Lufthansa way back in 2008 in economy class and it was a memorable journey for me.

[@GenkisTravels]

A time where everything was normal, beautifully captured. Hopefully demand does pick up where the planes begin to fly again. I have not had the chance to fly the A380 yet.

It was definitely cool seeing the plane going through the clouds to land. I would definitely fly this airline. I am so looking forward to the Italy trip. This made my day. Thank you!

[@sudipchou]

I travelled on this sector same aircraft and airline. In the rear of this upper deck there are 4/5 rows of Economy, me and my gamily were on the last row with 3 seats. Was the most exciting and privileged trip. We had a service crew all to ourselves and since we were in the last row, the flight attendant was a little bit more hospitable to us.

[@dalala9323]

[@stevenjaythor9297]

I will miss my favorite airliner. I have consistently flown to New Delhi from Miami in Seat 1A. What a wonderful experience. Lufthansa leaves on time and has a wonderful staff. No request is too much. Strangely, I have had the same crew on my last four flights...either going to Delhi or returning from Delhi to Frankfurt to Miami. I have complimented each one of the attendants and even suggested that Lufthansa purchase them a new BMW. And it is fascinating that staffers always remember your name. Hopefully I will be able to fly to India this coming March, 2021 if the cases of Covid-19 mysteriously disappear. I even miss NOT using my red leather Senator Luggage Tags. I LOVE LUFTHANSA.

9 5 20 Hello to TLTE, Well, as I went down the rabbit-hole of KZbin posts, I was able to find your channel; lucky me! Your posts brought back fond memories of my own journeys around our lovely Earth; 3 million airmiles & counting. I believe you lost your calling, film producer. Your posts are so seamless with soothing music. Luckily, I have picture-postcards to remind me of my adventures as I travelled the world. I would send them home & I arrived before they did. As the world moves through the pandemic, I visualize an improved existence for humanity. May all the souls gone, RIP. Thank you for the lovely post! Stay safe, keep calm, fun journeys, & be well. v

Perhaps in the future you could put that in BIG CAPITAL LETTERS in the title :) Your trip to India was fantastic, and I'm looking forward to visiting Italy, especially Lake Como.

I have never flown 1st class or business class. But looks wonderful. And you make it look so wonderful. Do you keep amenities kits? If so, you must have a house full. LOL. I have on flown Lufthansa when I was in US Air Force. Flew from Frankfurt to Philadelphia when my Mom passed away. But that was June 1997. My wife told Flight crew why we were there. Flight crew was amazing. And it was economy, Military would never pay for anything but Economy.

Everything you are experiencing is written out. This shows me that you are a very humble person. The music is so in tune with each and every step you take. From the airport to the lounge and on into the plane. I truly feel like I am part of the video. I'm not hearing anyone talking in my ear, which let's face it, that in itself is annoying and not always so nice. You are one remarkable man taking us along on all of your incredible journeys.

Again, thanks for your wonderful videos. We really look forward to sharing your experiences. My wife and I were able to fly in F from SFO to FRA a few years ago, ending with a 3 layover in the First Class Terminal waiting for a connection. The terminal was even better than the flight. I agree with a few of the others who state that this first class does not measure up to many of the Asian carriers. Regarding the 380, the seat was fine, the service terrific, but the IFE, including the equipment, was barely average. Still my favorite F experience on Lufthansa was upstairs on the 747 when they had a separate seat and separate bed for each passenger. Please keep up the great work!

It will be a tragedy to discover that the A 380s are permanently grounded, and can never again be experienced in their amazing glory, especially with such first class cabin layouts! Your video enables one to taste (maybe at one remove) remarkable opulence and style in flying! In this particular stance I was very impressed by the subtlety, and German penchant for the functional in the interior of the first class. Here the passengers are provided all desirable amenities that Lufthansa's Asian competitors are providing, but there is a Teutonic touch to every experience aboard this aircraft ! The cabin does not feel gaudi or overdone as is the case with some of the Middle eastern or Far Eastern carriers. There is something perceptibly restrained, soft and very modern in the first class of Lufthansa. One encounters here some of the key aspects of the German culture while experiencing the design, layout, colours, and features of the product. This offers the discerning and cultured air traveler the subtext of the German culture embodied in everything that is given to him aboard: from the design scheme to the choice of food! Thank you for sharing this lovely experience with us!

Regardless, really friendly staff, food was wonderful, and the experience was unmatched with any other premium economy experience i've had.

I miss the days of flying when I met people from all over the world. I've traveled to five continents, usually alone. People and I would strike up conversations and learn a lot about each other's countries. I met three very, very nice ladies on some of my trips to Hong Kong. They came to my hotel and showed me around the city, took me shopping and got some really good bargains for me because I didn't know how to haggle, and they took me to restaurants where the locals eat. My last trip traveling in business class was to Dubai. Everyone was using social media and not the least bit concerned about having a conversation with a fellow traveler. It was a very lonely 16 1/2 hour trip. I don't think people are any friendlier in coach. I do long for the glorious days of travel.
