This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

All of the "no one cares" ... "it's not a big deal" ... "such a drama queen" comments have a real "but officer, what do you mean speeding isn't allowed in a school zone? I didn't hit anyone... Don't the kids know how to get out of the way?" vibe to them. Just becuase a disaster didn't happen, doesn't justify irresponsible and dangerous behavior (talking about the follow up, not just forgetting the video to begin with...). Not to mention the safety video is exponentially more important on flights to/from/within developing countries since a larger proportion of passangers will be new fliers. Anyway, carry on. Don't want to get in the way of some good ol' trolling on a Friday morning.

As a former cabin crew, when the safety video doesnt play, crew are supposed to do a manual demonstration. There are manual demo kits onboard for this purpose and it’s part of our annual safety refresher. We are also supposed to check and ensure that all screens are working when the safety video is playing. In the event that its only 1 screen that isnt working, in economy class we direct the passenger to look at the screen beside. In business/first where there r individual seats, we do a guided demo at the seat using the safety card and manual kit. Every passenger needs to be briefed on the safety procedures, it’s a non-compromise.

Was recently on a JL flight and the monitor on the bulkhead suddenly stopped working as the safety video began. A member of crew noticed it within seconds- a few seconds after that she had a manual demo kit in her hands and performed the briefing just for my neighbor and me. It’s attentiveness like I had on that flight and like you describe that keeps planes safe!

Ten years ago, I took a transatlantic flight from ORD to LHR on British Airways. A passenger had a medical emergency during taxi while the safety video was playing, so we returned to the gate. The passenger and three family members were taken off the aircraft. Then, they boarded a single standby passenger into the vacant seats. Once we pushed back, they announced that they would replay the safety video from the beginning so the newly-boarded passenger could be brought up to speed.

I used to be a Lufthansa purser, and I can assure that Lufthansa always emphasized safety. We had regular trainings, and we had to pass tests. The Lufthansa pilots are chosen very carefully and so are the crew members. Pilots have to pass so many really difficult tests before they can start their training as a pilot. Safety is considered extremely important by Lufthansa and by all employees. I can hardly believe what you experienced. That is really not Lufthansa policy. All Lufthansa employees also feel that safety is the most important thing and part of their job. I really don't know what to say. However airline crews also learn that accidents or problems always happen because their is a chain of mistakes. If one looks at any airline accident or crash, most of the time there was a number of small mistakes made, or unattentiveness. I can also say from my own experience as a purser that on short distant flights there are so many frequent travellers, and most of them are so bored with safety demonstrations which was done by crew members themselves. They continue talking and reading during the demonstration and don't even look. So we did get the feeling, that our demonstration is not considered important. This does not mean that we didn't do it with dedication. Kevin, I love watching your videos, and you are really sweet in your love for details. You see everything, you notice everything, and you always remain polite in everything you say, but still you do say what needs to be said. Thank you for all your work. I think that your video will have consequences in the sense of emphasizing the importance of the safety video on flights.

WOW, where to start. I'm a retired US airline pilot. I cannot believe how poor of a reaction and action Lufthansa crew gave. I have flown with them many times. In fact in March I flew from FRA to Denver in Biz class on a 340. While an old product, the crew were great. I too am very distressed that they didn't show the video, but worse, they didn't seem to care or notice. Then they don't seem to understand that bad things can happen in the middle of the flight?! Is that a lack of training, or they don't give a damn?! I am shocked by this crews inactions. I'm so glad you shared it. It'll be intersting to see if and when LH responds to you officially more than that form email. I have subscribed to your channel as a result. This popped into my suggested videos on YT. Safe travels

The main takeaway for me from this “incident” is that an entire 747 crew had not at some point brought this to the attention of someone or each other , shows a total disregard for the importance of safety . Take off and landing are indeed the most important part of a flight but so is an explosive or gradual decompression inflight. I hope the civil aviation authority does indeed see this as I’m sure the crew didn’t self report .Disappointing ….. and that aircraft needed a deep clean as it was just plain dirty !!!

18:46 "Honestly, when do you think decompressions happen, at the gate?" This captures it better than anything. Completely agree with your concern about this lapse Kevin, as well as your analysis that it isn't so much that the incident occurred, but that they were so nonchalant about it and not a single crew member realised the mistake. That is what makes it worrying.

The issue here for me isn’t that they forgot to show it. The issue is there is no checklist in place to mark that task completed. Flying safely is in the main all about following process and procedures to reduce human error. The captain is told just prior to take off the cabin is secure, which includes the safety video presented to passengers. I personally always watch the demonstration if not just to see where the exits are located if the aircraft ends up in darkness or inverted. I hope airlines watch this as a sign to change process and ensure less failures in general

Exactly. "The cabin is secure" implies everything has been checked- I'm not sure, but I'd imagine that notificaiton to the cockpit is a 'legal document' of sorts.

Good review/public service announcement. 'Nothing could happen.' Like a window blowing-out - or a door? Shocking. Anyways, some time ago, my aircraft from Nice had to do a go-around at Heathrow - engage after-burners, gear up, reach for the skies, spill the champagne in Club Europe kinda stuff. Why? Because the cabin-crew hadn't finished clearing the cabin for landing. The captain, the 'pilot-monitoring', 'fessed-up, saying that he hadn't warned the cabin-crew in time and his incomplete-checklist meant 'go around'. Credit to British Airways for doing something that this crew probably wouldn't have. I liked the look of that food. P.S. How I detest that Condor boiled-sweets-inspired livery.

Ich bin Vielflieger und registrierter "LH doctor onboard" . Ich flog im Februar 2022 mit UA von SFO nach MUC. Musste dort umsteigen und meinen Anschlussflug mit dem vorab bereits vollständig bezahlten Ticket weiter. Ein LH- Mitarbeiter verweigerte das boarding für meinen Anschlussflug mit der Begründung, ich sei "seiner Meinung nach krank und somit fluguntauglich". Statt meine ID ( ich bin Facharzt für Chirurgie) zu checken und seine steile These zu begründen, rief er die Flughafenpolizei. Diese stellte die Richtigkeit meiner Angaben fest und verifizierte, dass ich ausgewiesener Arzt bin. Keine Vorstrafen. Keine Pöbeleien. Keine Diffamierungen durch mich. LG weigerte sich dennoch. So musste ich- selbstverständlich alles zu meinen Lasten- mit der S-Bahn vom Airport MUC zum Hbf und dann circa 700 km weiter mit dem ICE. Selbstverständlich alles auf meine Kosten. Der Anschlussflug hätte circa 50 Minuten gebraucht. Ich wandte mich via Email sowie via Einschreiben mit Rückschein an die Lufthansa. Bis heute und nach über 2 Jahren keine Erstattung des Ticketpreises, des S-Bahn- und Zug-Tickets plus Taxi in meiner Stadt. Nichts. Gar nichts. Das ist unfassbar, dass es in Deutschland möglich ist, dass eine Airline so mit zahlender Kundschaft umgeht. Auf sehr vielen USA- Flügen ( wenn ich leider mit LH fliegen musste i.R. der "star alliance") erlebte ich junge Stewardessen, die zeitlich mehr investierten in ihren Lippenstift und Makeup und mit ihrer Ausstrahlung als " cosmopolitan" wetteiferten. Zu oft erlebte ich, wenn ich höflich bspw. auf Langstrecke nach einem 2. oder 3. Glas Rotwein bat, dass diese geballte LH- Arroganz, repräsentiert durch diese Damen mich in derart despektierlicher Art in der 1. Person Plural ("Wollen WIR nicht mal eine kleine Pause machen?" belehren wollten. Jede noch so kleine amerikanische Airline weiß um ein Vielfaches besser, was ein Fluggast unter professionellem Service subsumiert. Ich bedauere sehr, dass während der Pandemie u.a. mit meinen Steuergeldern die Lufthansa am Leben gehalten wurde. Meiner amerikanischen Ehefrau verweigerte die LH während der Pandemie an 3 aufeinander folgenden Tagen den Rückflug von FRA nach SFO mit der LH via Zwischenstop in Israel. Alle dazu erforderlichen Dokumente waren vorhanden und geballte Arroganz, bis mir am counter der Kragen platzte. Es ist einfach nur traurig, dass die multiple Überheblichkeit dieser deutschen Airline und die dubiosen Geschäftsgebaren - natürlich ohne entsprechende Entschädigung samt Entschuldigung- sei juristisch in der BRD kein Nachspiel hatten. Und weder ich noch meine Ehefrau sind Ausnahmen. Ein einziger Blick (z.B.) bei "tripadcviso" reicht schon und man stellt sehr schnell fest, wieviele unzufriedene Fluggäste es bezogen auf die Lufthansa gibt. Beschämend!

I totally accept your complaint / legitimate concern about the safety video and I won’t comment on that further. My comment is to address the dirty / filthy aircraft. I flew my first flight on Thai business class on a 777 to Delhi from Bangkok. The aircraft was not at an airbridge. We were stuffed into buses and driven seemingly many kilometres to what appeared to be a graveyard of aircraft with some missing engines etc. But there was our 777 was waiting. It was filthy. The seats were in terrible condition. I was absolutely astounded. My next flight was Thai 777 Katmandu to Bangkok some weeks later. Dreading it, to my surprise it was immaculate and superb. I have since flown on Thai countless times and never experienced anything like the flight to New Delhi. My conclusion - flights to India don’t get much priority in the cleanliness or other departments.

Agreed. Lapses like these can make a marginal-yet-significant difference if an incident were to occur. I personally don’t fly that often and almost always need a refresher on the brace positions and on how to operate the life vests. Also I’m not sure if you did or didn’t, but you should’ve voice recorded the conversations you had with the crew, to serve as extra evidence.

Germany is a two person consent country. Recording someone without permission can get you three years in jail, publishing said recording is a further offense.

I wouldn't call the crew incompetent, but you are 100% correct. Had something similar happen on an Aswan to Cairo flight, except they actually tried to show the video, the system crapped out, and they were forced to do a manual presentation, but by the time they got around to it we were taking off...literally taking off. They did get the travel prayer done though. But when I was flying as a pilot, to tell you how serious this is, we had a way shorter than normal taxi and we were late because a passenger had to be kicked off the flight or escorted off, I forget the reason, but our taxi, instead of being 10 minutes was 2. We were about to take off when the flight attendants called up and yelled at us not to take off because they forgot to do the briefing. Fortunately, we had the runway to ourselves for a while, and they were able to do the whole briefing without us leaving the runway and getting into the back of the line. My guess is, that these FA's do this so many times that when things are forgotten, it turns into a "someone else will say something" sort of thing if they even notice at all. They were probably either reserve crew or had come in from another base so were fatigued and stressed. But they are very lucky. That happened in the US, and an FAA inspector was on board, they would have allowed them to get up to cruise and then could have had them return back to the airport and had them all taken off of the plane...if they wanted to, especially with the way they fought you.

The state of the cabin was absolutely shameful and, as one of your subscribers who voted for a Lufthansa video in one of your recent polls, I apologize for putting you through this and I thank you, as always, for your outstanding work! One question, if I may: where do you find information such as the names of the seats in each cabin?

The safety demo issue reminded me of a flight from back in 2002 when I flew AA from DFW-SJD (evening flight) and we remember the crew turning on the cabin lights about 45 mins before arrival into SJD and doing the safety demo right then an there saying federal law required them to. I think they either forgot or didn't do it before we left. This was on an MD-80. I vaguely remember someone was taken off the flight and we have to swap plans or there way a gate / plane swap when we left DFW. All of that might have contributed to them forgetting the demo.

I have flown a bazillion times in my life but I have only flown on the 747 one time. If I were in an emergency from the upper deck of the 747, the safety video would be critical to my survival because it's one thing to know how to evacuate a one-level aircraft. If you're on an A380 or a 747, You have to consider two levels. Maybe that doesn't sound like a big deal, but if it's somebody's first time in that situation or that type of aircraft and something occurs that can make the difference between not just their life or death, but the life or death of the others around them. The safety videos and the safety demonstrations matter.

Regarding the cleanliness which was also a point in your video, I can say that Germany is one of the most expensive countries in the world and companies have to compete with other companies who have to pay much less for salaries and taxes etc.; in Germany, in order to compete with ticket prices of other airlines, everything has to be done in a rush. The result is that everything loses quality. We experience that in so many ways. German houses used to be really solid and great. Now, everything is done in a rush, and there are really bad results because of that. As a former purser I witnessed how the cleanser had to rush through the planes. They do their best, and they work so hard, but they have a limited time within which they have to clean the whole plane. This is also the case, when a plane is not used immediately and moved to a parking position. The limited (and paid) time for the cleaning team reamains the same. This is something which has become a big problem in Germany on all levels. The work just can't be done well under such pressure. It is not the mistake of the cleaners. They always were so friendly and calm when I was a purser. Great people.

Do European and Asian airports provide wheelchair services to people having ambulatory issues? No one seems to talk about. This video surprised me, I have always heard good things about this airline. Pretty scary to not have a safety video shown. The reaction of the staff was telling. To not notice that you were the only one to draw attention to the lack of showing the safety video. To try to coverup their mistake is concerning. I am amazed. The lack of cleanliness is also concerning. Thanks for bringing this to the forefront. You’re right, safety is their job.

I'm pretty sure every airport I've ever been to has wheel chair assist.

​@@megandarcy937 You should check Thailand. They had an episode a couple of months ago in which a person in a wheelchair was denied access to the airplane.

Will be interesting to see how the airline reacts and/or reaches out to you now that the video is online.

This time last month I flew Baku to Frankfurt with LH. I was surprised to note the aircraft push back before everyone was seated. One or two were still up and not seated and secure.

Thanks Kevin for an important review. Ignoring flight safety in an old dirty plane, complacency shown by the flight crew/staff, these are warning signs that any airline company should be aware of and remind them it is time to re-train the people currently working (since they are forgeting the basic) or let them go and hire new people that are eager to learn !
