On the flight deck to Mallorca: a special trip aboard the Lufthansa A350
Рет қаралды 364,234
Күн бұрынIn this video we join up with Lufthansa for a special A350 flight from Munich to Palma de Mallorca (PMI). A rare opportunity not only to fly a wide body within Europe, but also to tag along with the crew for the duration of the flight, with exclusive behind the scenes access.
Join us as we go from cockpit briefing to pre-flight walkaround, then into the jumpseat on LH2658 for takeoff, cruise and landing from the pilot's perspective. We also get a glimpse at the cabin service and take a self-guided cabin tour of the A350 after all the passengers have deplaned. A dream day for an avgeek, not least because it was followed up by a return to Germany onboard the Boeing 747-8 (stay tuned for that installment coming in a video next week!)
Make sure to follow Lufthansaviews on Instagram for lots of fun glimpses behind the scenes at one of the world's largest airlines: lufthansavi...

The Airbus cockpits all look alike so yeah it’s not that difficult to switch. I’ve flown almost all the Airbus planes in flight simulator, and I’m confident I can fly ones I haven’t flown (a330/40 and a380). But I don’t think I’m confident enough for the classics (A300/10), since they’re too outdated for me

A350 all the time! Flew Frankfurt to Tokyo last year with LH 747-8 and back from Osaka to Munich with their A350. The Airbus was a much better experience. The 747 was dirty and worn down and there was a bad air in the cabin the entire flight. On these +10 hour flights you really appreciate the low cabin altitude from the A350.

I must say the Cabin Crew is immaculate! Well done. The purple in economy however I'm not a fan of, reminds me of the cheap blue plastic you find in playgrounds equipment. Beautiful aircraft nonetheless.

Why can't they make the 747 with re-designed efficient engines? My next choice would be the Airbus 380 - the smoothest, most comfortable aircraft I've flown on.

For technology and cabin air pressure I prefer the A350. But when sitting in the cabin all depends on the seating - which airline, class, location etc. Hence, for short distance whatever is safe and at time is ok. For long hauls seating becomes no. 1 of priorities.
