That jet burns approximately 1 gallon of fuel per second - but holds more than enough to easily keep it aloft for 10 hours. 800,000 pounds, lifts off the ground effortlessly, blows through the atmosphere at nearly 600mph and on this flight, lands as gently as a falling feather. 747s may be outdated and inefficient compared to 777/787 versions but they still never fail to impress.

When you look at this planet from above you realize how beautiful it is

Born and raised in Vancouver. Lived here all my life. What a great video from beginning to end.

Wow, some of the prettiest scenery from an aircraft, that I have seen. Excellent work.

"EXTREME" low pass? Seems to be a pretty standard approach to me...

From the stunning scenery to the awesome aircraft shadow on approach and final......this was simply spectacular. :)

One of the best flight videos on KZfaq. An amazing, beautiful, view of mountainous British Columbia.

That plane kissed the earth. What a nice touchdown. And Canada really has some amazing landscapes.

The queen of the skies admiring herself, watching her shadow in the clouds! beautiful video. Thank you.

The shadow of the plane is so cool.

By far one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen! Marvelous! Thank you!!!

I hope people who live in British Columbia know how lucky they are because it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. I've been there many times and I'm in love.

Brilliant video, one of the best I've seen, spectacular colour!

I love watching videos of these beautiful jets taking off, landing and flying. I rarely see comments on the pilots and their talents and ability's. My twenty year old nephew earned his pilots license about eight months ago. Three months ago he earned his certification to fly single prop aircraft with retractable landing gear. His goal is to become a commercial airline pilot. I went up with him once so far and it was awesome. I have a lot of respect for pilots. I never knew how much work,dedication, and love of flying it takes to become a pilot. Of course you also need the funds to achieve that goal. My brother makes a good living and my nephew worked his ass off to pay for it so the financial part was the least of his worries to achieve what he has and for what it will take to reach his goal. Whenever you fly just remember the dedication and the love of flying that the pilots have to make sure you and your family get to your destination safely. They deserve the upmost respect.

In 1997, long time ago, I have visited Canada, British Columbia and Alberta provinces. Our journey started from Frankfort airport and lead us to Vancouver. Upon " Transat Airlines", a Canadian Airline. Via Scotland, Faroer, Iceland, Greenland....----> Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Saskatchewan---> Alberta to our destination Vancouver. Magnificent. We have crossed Greenland while midnight sun was still shining at 1 a.m. (!). Eleven hours of flight, a break of 45 minutes in Calcary.... 9 hours time zone difference to Germany... 3 days jetleg, but the what a phantastic scenery it was there. UNFORGETTABLE !!! Thank you so much for the upload. With very best regards from old Germany, Rainer

Who needs 'seat-back' entertainment when you have that to look at out the window; absolutely spectacular! Fantastic video, thank you for sharing.

Amazing views along the way, great to see the engines as well.

If I had to pick between a business class ticket with no window and a coach seat with a view like this, I would pick the latter in a heartbeat.

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for taking us along on this STUNNING flight!

This is why I love my province, British Columbia is so beautiful! great video.

That landing was smooth as silk.

Beautiful Vancouver and lovely smooth landing.

One of the rather best videos I've seen yet in several years.

One of the best air trip videos I have seen on KZfaq. Gorgeous terrain, excellent video quality and clarity.......I would have liked to jump down on one of those remote lakes with my trout rod!!!!

Smooth landing! Great video!

Never knew Vancouver was that beautiful.. Amazing footage!

The Greenland ice cap, the Canadian Rockies, and coastal range, such spectacular scenery! Thanks for sharing.....

Loved the shadow all the way in to landing. Great scenery and what a neat landing.

Wonderful but bittersweet for me. I am Canadian born but living in Geneva, Switzerland since 1996. I would often travel home and 2015 was the last time I came for a "normal" Xmas with my parents before my father developed severe dementia and passed away durng the holidays 2017-2018 (was there also fortunately). 2015 I came for a visit and also flew the same Lufthansa flight through Frankfurt and possibly the same 747-400! Same view at any rate.

One of the best in-flight video's on the Internet. Thanks for shooting!

Vancouver and the Rockies are beautiful. This video shows them both to great advantage. Thank you.

The shadow on the ground during approach was pretty cool :)

I really like the last few minutes seeing the plane's shadow on the ground, gives a good idea of how fast it's actually going. Great video!!!

One of the best videos ive seen

Beautiful scenery and cool wingview. The silhouette of the plane throughout the flight was fantastic!

Simply breathtaking, and crystal clear quality. Thanks!

Enjoyed watching the shadow of plane rite down till touchdown 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Canada is such a beautiful country

Absolutely beautiful. Excellent work. Thanks for sharing. Added to favorites.

Beautiful approach!What a gorgeous city!Thank you for this marvelous video!

That was the best flight video I've seen. The scenery over canada is incredibly beautiful!

Sweet! Beautiful flight! Loooong take-off roll. Buttery landing! 👍🏼

From all the aviation videos I've seen with cabin views, this one definitely stands out. Lovely view of Fraport with the new runway at Kelsterbach, beautiful glimpses of Rocky Mountains and a terrific approach and landing at Vancouver. Great stuff.

that approach and low fly over the mountains was pretty awesome!

Hard to top the scenery as you approach Vancouver, and your camera handled it well. Appreciate being able to view it full-screen, and still crystal clear. LOVE the 45 second takeoff roll of a loaded 744.

Absolutely stunning! Really great video, fantastic stuff! :)

I have never flown into Vancouver taking that approach, so it took me a while to recognize the Fraser valley and New Westminster and Burnaby with the river with so many log booms along it's shores.I flew out of there in 1967 in a DC6 to Vernon.

Ignore BAR 20 BBQ. This is some of the most stunning aviation footage from the main cabin I have ever seen. I have so many questions for you but I will read the other comments from recent videos to see if my questions are answered there. Absolutely amazing!! Well done!

Vancouver looks beautiful

Ein wunderbares Video aus einem faszinierendem Flugzeug,von einem sehr interessantem Land und einem perfektem Kameramann.ich freue mich an den Videos.Bitte wetermachen.

I love that perfect seat where you can look back at the engines and still see all the landscape below. The miracle of flying on a modern aircraft...if only the Wright Brothers could see airplanes now.

Beautiful video, beautiful scenery, wonderful job and ...God, the 747!!! Watching videos like this, makes me love planes even more! Thanks for uploading.

A truly amazing testament to how beautiful flying is!! Amazing video mate!!

Holy. This is the most beautiful flight video I've ever seen!!! Wow.

Wow those views of the mountains was breathtaking thanx for the video.

Nice landing. Vancouver,... One of the worlds great cities (as is Frankfurt).

What a wonderful landscapes!! I love mountains!

In a world of many hundreds of flight videos, this one stands out as a top ten video for me with the super sharp mountain views. Check out the mountain top lake at 17:54. I can imagine it being pristine and crystal clear, having not been touched by human hands...

That was absolutely stunning. I literally was watching with my mouth open at one point. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

I love Vancouver and that really showcased it. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful views. Pilot nailed that landing.

The landscape changes outside the airplane window are diverse. After all, traveling by plane is a fun trip. Thank you for the good video.

Vow.. the best HD video Good Cameraman 5 star.

Clearly one of the best videos I've ever seen and I've seen some good ones. Such good quality! Stunningly beautiful! Wow! Such a smooth landing too! Thank you!

The Rocky Mountains are awesome and Canada one of my favourite countries! Btw, pilots are so talented and skilful! Kudos to them!✈👍💖from Spain

Very Nice :) One of the many reasons why I have to have a Window seat.

Really awesome video! Beautiful scenery.

"Top-notch videography from an Airplane. You understand the importance of letting us; 'see what you see'. I've seen so many KZfaqrs zoom in to show us what they 'Think' we will find interesting to see, which ends up asking viewers to guess. I cannot express enough how good your work looks and delivers, so thank you."

Nice 👌 view excellent flights ✈️ good job 👏

What a smooth landing.

wonderful fiew of the mountains. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Stunning video, thanks for sharing

The landing was so incredibly smooth wow!

This is the most beautiful flight video I've seen, it's just wonderful.

Awesome, I have flown to Vancouver before but never had such a magnificent view...now I have catched up!

thanks Lufthansa for your very professional flight and you are really star airlines and thanks for this video maker with a great job .

Planet Earth is something else. Thumbs up.

soooooo beatiful....

Beautiful view from a beautiful plane!

Beautiful trip. Thanks for the ride along.

The 747 is a beautiful metal bird. :)

I want to visit Vancouver. So beautiful and clean.

One of the most beautiful-scenic approach I've ever seen !! Thank you for share this !!

This video looks like a first or business class window with a nice view of the Canadian Rockies in which it's altitude is higher close to the flight on the route to Vancouver. From the farther north eastern coast of rockies the view shows huge snow capping over the peak, the low pass changes to less snow capping before landing the airport. Very nice job!

5:42 - 6:10 that flying shadow ... My favorite of the entire clip !

Very-very-very-very great video... great work!!!! I love it

this is an rather perfekt shooting of regular approach onto YYR Airport a beautiful day a splendid work thank You so much purser WOLF

I can watch videos like this one for hours !

Completely misleading title.

Here's a bit of a guide: Flying into Vancouver from the northeast.... @8:54 Twin Tree Lake in the Rocky Mountains, Jasper National Park, Alberta..... @10:18 Berg Lake of the "Berg Lake Trail" in Mt. Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia (BC) .... @10:57 Mt. Robson (bottom part of frame) .... @13:06 Wells Gray Provincial Park, with Azura Lake to the North and Angus Home Lake to the South.... @14:43 Harrison Lake, the largest lake in the southern Coast Mountains.... @13:34 Tailings Pond near Logan Lake.... @18:56 Pitt Lake...@ 20:23 Pitt-Addington Marsh.... @21:49 The new Port Mann bridge (10 lanes wide, cable-stayed); in 2012 when it was opened, it was the world's widest long-span bridge at 65 meters....@22:25 Surrey City Centre... @24:42 Metrotown and Central Park (Burnaby). I would encourage you do to further research on the places mentioned. They are some of the most scenic parts of Canada.

Great video. Never get tired of the view. My home away from home. Great place to see and live ,

Atemberaubende Aussichten aus der B 747! Sehr weiche Landung in Vancouver. Ich mag den Schatten des Flugzeuges in den Wolken und auf dem Boden. Tolles und beeindruckendes Video!!! Danke für´s Teilen mit uns. +++ Breathtaking views from the B 747! Very smooth landing in YVR. Like the airplane shadow in the clouds and on the ground. Great and impressive Video!!! Thank for sharing with us. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland / Best regards from Germany.

This video is just awesome

I guess 43 people don't care about great scenic wonders.

That landing approach was so breathtaking all the way from the mountains and to the suburbs. Great landing too! Amazing video man.

I have watched this over and over again ! I just love it!

What a soft touch down ;-)

smoothest landing ever!

Absolutely stunning landscape on the approach. Beautiful gentle landing!

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing :)
