I am at least as much a 747 lover as are you; my bucket list was to take a 747 to Australia and then get into a cage with a great white shark (done within one week in Nov 2013), then I figured I better ride it as many times as I could until they were retired. I ended up going to Australia 6 times (the last trip 2 years ago out of Van on a 787; who cares) and once to Frankfurt out of Chicago purely because I wanted a ride on a 747-8. Qantas cabin crews were as enthusiastic about the 747 as am I, and so the long hours over the Pacific were spent in the galleys guzzling coffee and them telling me the many stories they had accumulated. My last descent into LA, a cabin crew member came to my seat (always 75K) and told me to gather my carry on because they were putting me upstairs for easier access to the cockpit for my post landing visit. Though my flying days are over (no jab for me) I still get to see many many many 747 cargo flights go directly overhead where I live, which is on the route to and from Anchorage to many cities in the US, as well as a Lufthansa 747-8 flight to and from Frankfurt - Los Angeles. 747s are still and will always be the only plane that matters and it makes me laugh when people think twin engine jets are somehow worthy of any mention.

10:10 Well actually (Im gonna be that guy), the engine chevrons are found on the 747-8, the 787, and the 737 Max. However, they will not be on the upcoming 777X because Boeing found a better way of reducing the engine sounds without it. I think they should keep them though. They make the engines look futuristic and technologically advanced, but of course, it will always be function over form when it comes to increasing efficiency in planes.

I find myself frequently vasicilating between Lufthansa and Swiss when I go to see my Sister and Brother-in-law who live in Zurich. Usually I fly Lufthansa outbound and change planes in Frankfurt and fly Swiss nonstop home because, well, I want to get home and sleep in my own bed. 😉. So my favorite seat/s on Lufthansa are 1A or 1K ... ok ok yes they’re in First Class. What I like about them is that you’re actually sitting “in front of” the cockpit as they’re all the way in the nose. Add to that, no foot traffic. The First Class Terminal in Frankfurt is amazing! Thank you, Paul, for this review. The next trip to Switzerland, I’m taking my nephews with me so Business Class it will be. Glad to know what to expect. 👍🏻

Thanks for the great vision of the updated version of the Queen of the Skies. I certainly agree that the 747 is still, and probably always will be, the best looking passenger aircraft that has ever graced the sky. If current trends continue then unfortunately it looks as though I have probably won't get to fly in a 747 again. It's a long way from the glory days in the 1980s and 1990s when almost every international Qantas flight was in a 747.

Agreed! I'm flying from SYD to BNE this coming Thursday simply to catch a 747 and am immediately returning to SYD. I figure it could be one of my last flights in a 747 as I avoid them on long-haul flights as they're pretty uncomfortable (especially once the A380s are refurbished)..

Thanks for the lesson, it's pretty cool to have an upper deck seat! It reminds me of double decker buses in London; I would always race up to sit at the top in the very front seat where you'd get the best view. I never understood why you wouldn't always try get that seat, or at least sit upstairs rather than in the dark downstairs, hehe. Also, I wish you could choose the cuisine regardless of airline or destination. I'd totally choose Japanese food 90% of the time, and burgers and chips the other 10%.

It makes me sad that the 747-8 wasn't a huge success! Gorgeous plane!

Of course with out a dought the 747-8 or 747's in my opinion is the best looking jumbo jet of all time.! ICONIC WIDELY RECOGNIZABLE ALL OVER THE GLOBE Even with the arrival of the Airbus A380 it's a new jumbo jet but it can't compete the original 747 in terms of looks the designers of 747 came up with a timeless masterpiece Sorry A380 you guys was super late to the party.! It's a nice looking plane though but it's NOT THE 747

I flew on a Lufthansa A380 from Singapore to Frankfurt and it's interesting to see that even their latest aircraft has a second rate interior with second rate service. I'll never fly Lufthansa again.

Yep, it's still the same. I look forward to checking out the Lufthansa A350 at some stage, though, as the business seat has been upgraded.

Had much the same experience as you when I flew the Lufthansa 747-8i from FRA to HKG a few years back in business - it was average at best. Shame really, look forward to more of your reviews!

The upper deck on a 747 is the place to be. Apart from that LHs Business Class is outdated in terms of privacy.

@peterchin5251 5 жыл бұрын

I don't understand why there is no mention of the seat flat. That is the most important of any business class.

Hi Peter, did you watch the video? I show the flat seat at 9:23 :)

Hi Paul. Good review, thank you. A question - are you intending to review Lufthansa's first class product in the 747-8? Interested to see what it is like.

@PaulStewartAviation 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate. No current plans I'm afraid. I can stretch the piggy bank to business but could struggle to pay for first, and my current points scheme doesn't include LH flights :(

The A350 is the best looking, with the 747-8 in a very close 2nd

Great report again Paul. Such a good looking aircraft type it will be a shame when they all go. It’s really interesting what you said about the LH service there quite a few reports which seem to portray the airline as hit or miss which is a disappointing as I’d love you try them out. I’m sure the new biz class will be much better. Looking forward the ANA 787 report next. Cheers Jason

Nice video paul as always. I cant believe how Qantas didnt want to order the 747-8 aircraft. It would have been a great asset for the airline, just like the 400 series.

The A340 is a pretty cool aircraft and I did fly in one with Cathay a few years ago although unfortunately that was before I did flight reviews so there's no camera footage. :(

A very fair review, by the looks of it... those storage bins are pretty good upstairs, aren't they? But the seat configuration doesn't impress. I love your side by side comparison of the 400 vs 800. Thanks for posting. Enjoy your next flight. Cheers, Michael.

Do you think to no storage on the lower deck seats is poor design or a weight issue?

@PaulStewartAviation 5 жыл бұрын

Poor design. Passengers will carry their luggage in the cabin or in the luggage hold so either way it weights the same. :)
