TRIP REPORT | LUFTHANSA AIRBUS A340-300 | PREMIUM ECONOMY | FRANKFURT - PANAMA CITY

LUFTHANSA AIRBUS A340 PREMIUM ECONOMY TRIP REPORT
It's hard to say if I was more excited about flying Airbus A340 for the first time or trying Lufthansa's Premium Economy for the first time! The plane was more than 20-year old, but went through retrofitting process, so I couldn't feel it's age at all, especially sitting in pretty new Premium Economy cabin.
Was it worth extra money? Check out my full flight review!

I loved this video and laughed a lot because you were doing everything I did, my first time, in Premium Economy. Checking out the restroom, what's in the seat pocket, length of legroom, etc. What I enjoyed was your lack of unnecessary commentary, only said what was necessary and speeded up the video to get to the next interesting part. Good Job!

I am flying A340-600 from Frankfurt to New York next month. I will return with A340-300 from JFK to Frankfurt

[@AKMaxFlightsTravel]

I prefer the 600 version, but the A340-300 is still cool. Great content regardless. Subscribed

[@kriskarch9618]

Thanks! I was hoping LH will change it to 600, but even flying 300 was a great experience :) Subscribed to your content as well!

[@ffmde8268]

Nice.. i got a question is the extra leg room space in economy as in the premium economy?

[@kriskarch9618]

Hi! The legroom in Premium is much bigger than Economy, you can head to Lufthansa's website to check the details about the seats in specific class :)

[@ffmde8268]

@@kriskarch9618 not the random seat because i paid 75€ for the extra legroom space but still thanks I‘ll check the seats at lufthansa

Can I please have the background music from the start? It’s really a perfection❤

[@gabsii05]

Is there a footrest you can unfold and get into more of a horizontal position?

[@Lulu-Walker]

Very enjoyable report. Do you know if the food served in premium economy is the same served at economy? Thank you.

[@kriskarch9618]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, the food was exactly the same as served in Economy.

Found your channel through your videos on Portugal and TAP Air Portugal. Superb video! Thanks for sharing!

[@himbeertoni08]

Thanks for the great report with quite some information. Exactly, what I was looking for! One open question: There is a USB socket next to the monitor. Is there also a current socket for charging a laptop at the seats?

[@kriskarch9618]

Hi Albedo, thanks for the comment! Yes, there are AC sockets for your laptop under the seats as I remember :)

[@himbeertoni08]

Great, thanks for the quick response!

So economy meals in premium economy. What seat were you in?

[@viborimo]

Can You lift armrest on the window side?

[@kriskarch9618]

nope, it's not movable.

[@Khegar]

Landed 20 hours ago, flight from Frankfurt to Atlanta on Lufthansa a340-300, the armrest at the window seat in premium economy was fully adjustable, moved it up and out of my way for more space, there is a button underneath at the elbow of the armrest

[@kriskarch9618]

@@Khegar appreciate the information, I didn't notice the button!

[@dejanjordan]

How much was the ticket if its not a secret,the whole experience looked realy nice .

[@kriskarch9618]

I paid in miles (47 000 Miles and More + 100 USD) and it was 2-leg flight (from Cracow, Poland), so I don't know the regular price, sorry :( Thank you for your comment!

[@TinnekeVDE]

How come you reviewers never have any bag under the seat, so unrealistic

[@curly_curvy_caroline1821]

Hey, How tall are you ?/ How long are your legs :)

[@kriskarch9618]

Hey, I'm 182 cm tall, there was more than enough space for my legs :)

[@brunom.9578]

Good video! Lufthansa gets stingy. The orange juce you got after departure, until Dez.19 you got that on the ground and than after departure they made a real aperitive service. That was cancelled for eco and premium eco. Food was the same as one year ago on my Premium Eco flight to Bangkok and one month ago to Johannesburg, in economy. Lufthansa doesnt care much for this product. Well, in economy the second Food service is a cold and disgusting Sandwich, so there is a difference ;-). The seat is realy great, but now they charge 55Euros for reservation! I would only buy premium eco if its an offer, for around 800Euro, like last year, but never for 2000Euro, like they normale take....

[@kriskarch9618]

Thank you for amazing comment, it looks like you were flying Lufthansa often. That's really disappointing if a 5-star airline doesn't care about their Premium product - especially if it's so expensive.

[@brunom.9578]

@@kriskarch9618 well, no money left for eco. They spent all their money to buy the 5Stars from skytrax..😉

[@juliacliett1716]

No foot rest ? Oh nooo
