Lufthansa's €2 Billion New Cabin - First Class Double Suite
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 мар 2023
- I flew on Lufthansa B747-8 from Los Angeles to Germany to see their new "Allegris" cabin product launch. The current Lufthansa Business Class seats have some shortcomings and lack privacy. I flew on the upper deck of the legendary B747.
Lufthansa unveiled its €2.5 Billion cabin upgrade program "Allegris". The most impressive product is on Lufthansa First Class which features a floor-to-ceiling double suite in the middle. The suite can convert into a double bed with a 43" TV screen.
Lufthansa's new Business Class also features a 2m long bed and suite. There are up to 7 different seat configurations in Business Class. Watch the video for the details.
Less impressive are the Premium Economy and Economy, those are fairly standard and without much improvement in my opinion. In the video, I gave my impression, pros and cons after trying out these seats.
I love the fact that Sam calls out the airline for showing off the best seats in economy rather than the normal ones. I really appreciate his honesty and although I love seeing the first class seats, I will probably never be able to afford them so seeing what economy is like really helps the average flyer
Economy class will be working on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Saturday at 28
Let's all work hard and make our dreams come true. Keep a positive mindset and nothing can stop you!!!!!
Thank you, really appreciate your comment.
I hope you will be able to travel in first class. Don’t lose your hope! Match is 90 min ;)
Well, what‘s interesting about „normal“ seats at such an occasion? ;-) of course they‘d show their best seats, just as a car manufacturer shows his best or latest car at car convention.
I love how Sam bashes Premium Economy in front of the staff being brutally honest. Really interesting First and Business Class product! Will definitely try!
Yup, economy at a premium price looks like more of a scam?
These fixed shell premium economy seats need to die. Way to call them out in person. Sometimes you wonder if these designers have even sat in the seat longer than 5 minutes.
It’s the same seat as on Swiss airlines. I did not like the seat as a plus size person. Too narrow
@@bradstewart2325They need improvement too if the airline need thier business to survive.
But if I observe wrongly the cabin crew pay extra attention on 1 st class & business card more ( because passenger pay more).
What is going on or compliant from economy & premium class happy waiting. ( I hope I observe wrongly! ).
This channel is the most unique aviation channel on youtube.
Yeah I agree with that
Ok
He's always so excited whenever he boards a plane. Like repeating his first experience over and over
There are a few other good ones

Love the way Sam delivers the information and cover each and every details. Thank you so much 🙌🏻
Thank you, really appreciate it.
@@SamChui please comments on my previous post about telegram account
Excellent episode. The fact you called out the seating problem in premium economy was strong, and then the "special" economy seats, well done
I watched the very 1st Boeing 747 take off when I was a kid. I wish I'd been there to see the last take off. I've never flown in one, so I really appreciate you showing these.Thank you Sam💖
You video brings back my memories when I took the LH fights from Beijing, China to Frankfurt, Germany in business class in 2016 when 747-8i was first put into the services. The true king of the sky! Couldn’t wait to see the new setup for business and first class on LH. Thanks again for another enjoyable and informative video!
Minutes into this and you capture perfectly the fun of flying for this aviation nerd. Haven't flown in a good while. Nice to experience.
Because of channels like yours, I've decided that I'm going to treat mysel to business class on my next international flight.😊
Great way to spend $5,000+, I say buy a nice used rolex instead, what i would do with not being at millionaire status yet
He'll be sending you the bill for his commission on the flight.
@@runningkirkwa2934 hello… just use points
@@runningkirkwa2934 it can be closer to 3000 return or even 2500. 5k can be first.
Thanks for showing not only the first, business class seat but the economy seat economy as well. Really appreciate it.
Always touched by 747, used to hear so much from my dad how exciting taking 747. Yes, queen of the sky!
That brings back memories I used to fly a lot in a Boeing 747 300 and the 747 400 my mom used to work for KLM as a stewardess also in the business class so everytime she was working I went with her all over the world from 5 years old until I was 17 now 42 and she retired in 2007 she started working in 1973 definitely brings back fine memories seeing this seeing how much it's changed the business class when I was little until now.
Love your video and the way you exposed Premium Economy & Economy Class seats! Keep going and sending to us more this amazings videos! Regards,
Very fair review @SamChui! I appreciate how you explored every dynamics of the cabins more especially the differences between the Premium Economy and Economy. And I agree, the shell seating is why I choose Economy over the Premium because of being unable to recline.
FIrst time I flew a shell type seat was Cathay Pacific Sydney to Hong Kong - actually in their economy. Never again. That exact same problem, just puts you on a downward slide into the shell in front, with your neck at an awful angle. I read that they replaced them pretty quickly after many, many complaints. Can't believe Lufthansa has installed them in their premium economy!
Looks like a beautiful way to travel, nice improvements to the cabin!
It's always interesting to see views from the biz end of the aircraft. The one thing I thought when you went upstairs was how tight the seats looked and the lack of privacy. It was clear you felt the same. Your videos are really snappy and really nice views of the aircraft too. The news seats look good albeit a bit of time for the retrofit. If I had the cash I wouldn't mind giving it a go 😄
Much love from TANZANIA🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
Amazing how far the airline industry has come. I flew from Australia to USA and on to England in 1971 on a Vickers super VC10. The flight was very long, only a curtain separated economy from first class and you only got a BOAC magazine to read all the way. The Vickers VC10 and super VC10 were the grand ladies of the sky.
Great video Sam! All those new cabins look gorgeous and the 747-8 looked beautiful as always! I cannot wait to fly with Lufthansa (in their new cabins hopefully) on their A350-900 and 747-8 to Germany!! 🇩🇪
When it apply to AIRCRAFT this Autumn?2023 or 2025
Thank you for showing us. :)
With this product, Lufthansa has definitively raised the level of European Airlines
By the time its rolled out, it'll already be outdated
There are still some really good European airlines but I agree many of them are quite poor quality
I think they're catching up, more than anything. I'm flying LH business on the 748 this summer so I'll be ahead of the refit. Just means I'll have an excuse to do it again in 2026, though! :)
Beautiful video! Love your content! Noticed the engines shaking on take off lol The food looks pretty good!
Yes indeed, the food (Catering from LA) surprised me, it was good!
Nicely presented, thank you Sam, I agree with you on the design and configurations.🇺🇸
It looks better than my house ( almost ) thanks Sam, for sharing the new look.
Back when their 747-400s had first class, they had a seat where there is a bed next to the seat. I can see the inspiration that their new first class drew from that seat
Whoa Sam this is amazing adventure and I’m happy you get to go on these amazing trips and earn a living and carve your mark in the aviation community and to getting your ppl an inspiration to us avgeeks
Eternally.
The new format for suites is marvelous.
Refreshingly honest and truthful! You just got a subscriber in me 🤩
Keep up the great work Sam 👌🏻 was great meeting you outside the hotel in BKK 2 weeks ago 🙏🏻
Appreciate the honest review!!
With good video quality, I enjoy watching your review! High quaity footage. Way better than smartphone quality!
Love your honest feedback on Premium Eco and 34' Eco. That's professional
Very Coo!! Thank you for this showcase!! I always enjoy when the 747 is highlighted...good or not so good😊
Thank you dear Sam, for showing us around ... Blessings & love always
Fantastic Sam as usual...with you providing the richness of your journey s on a variety of birds with its own exquisite comforts.... Moreover it's always a visual treat.....Hats off to You....
Another great video Sam! I appreciate your honesty! Long time LH Business Class and Economy Class flyer here (LAX-FRA/MUC) and the past 5-6 years I've been using other carriers because the LH product is just terribly weak but this new Business Class looks quite nice! Looking forward to fly it!
But when you compare them with US Carriers (which is mostly the alternative when you fly FRA/MUC - LAX) even the old Lufthansa was way better
@@ich_halt8094 Sometimes but not always.If we're talking 15 years ago, yes. But even the current American Business class is better than this last gen 2-2-2 seat business class with LH. Or the Delta Business class suite is also much nicer. The new LH business class looks promising and I hope to try it this year.
Amazing. Would love to have a trip one day with you
This is called real feedback and assessment of the product . Great Job Sam .
I'm SWISS my family would fly Lufthansa all the time can't believe how much flying has changed!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fly SWISS. They have a much better product.
love the honesty in the review.
Thanks for this video Sam, I think it’s a very fair assessment of the Lufthansa product, both current and future. Honestly I’m rather disappointed with what I’ve seen. The materials, especially the first class “curtains”, seem rather cheap, and little about the business class seat seems industry leading. Plus I totally agree, that premium economy seat looks terribly uncomfortable!
Also there’s no privacy with the large slits that are the door handles either!
Both 1st class seats had seat numbers, I'm wondering if you could end up in that suite with a stranger
Well, first class seems undewhelming compared to Qatar or Emirates who do it more with style but Business seems solid with good space, privacy and 2m long bedding possible. I dont know, economy is economy, it is ok but Im not sure what can be improved, bicycle is already invented :)
The Staffordshire country council has given me the money 💴 was my last year when you could l have already sent to the China 🇨🇳 was the wedding event at 17:00 am to 11:00 pm including the police and ambulance services department use services for adults making the money 💵 has given to my business card to a another country council is responsible adults for people to be responsible for any medical services department medical services documents medical care services department should l have already given the bank of credit card for 1.00000000 million dollars 💵 was good business and everything is responsible should not make a decision on the price of 30.00000 million people in the Staffordshire country and you can not find different brands each other MP3 players
We have to wait further to see how these mock up fitted onto a real plane like. I bet it is going to be better in the cabin environment as it is designed for. The curtain blocks lot of noise, I actually like it as it feels much lighter than closing the door.
Great vlog Sam! Good to see all the exciting flight options!
I always watch your vlog being an aviation fan
Fair reviews... cannot believe that 'Premium economy' seat! Great to see ThePointsGuyUK !
Thank you for sharing ❤
Amazing plane and luxury 👍👍
I like how often Lufthansa retrofits there aircraft knowing that they just got there 787 a few months ago and A350 a few years ago knowing how much they care about there customers is a great thing to know
give me a break with you BS lol...
I love the lady in the back agreeing with your commentary hahaha 10:56
6:56 pleasantly surprised by the Points Guy UK cameo!
Thank you Sam for this video please mind the sounds levels at times especially whenever you are on the plane. Wishing you the best
Great video as always. Nice seeing you've skipped previewing
Excellent review and pointing out the tricks in LH's presentation. I don't understand why LH repeats the mistakes of previous companies with the fixed shell premium eco product.
Probably after getting feedback about passengers hating that the passenger in front reclined backward & reduced their space
Love your 747 Hoodie! It's incredible!
The future of long haul flying looks bright!
This was great! and an appearance by the Points Guy UK!
Like how you tell it like it is - both positive and negative. Not keen on sharing a cabin with a stranger. Excellent video. Hope Lufthansa listens to your feedback. Take care and safe travels.
The F cabin double suit isn't for "strangers" it's what couples will book or a signal individually. We'll be interesting to see how they price the two options.
@@johniii8147 Good to know. Didn't look like the dude next to Sam was an acquaintance. Maybe it was his cameraman.
‘Great video and love your honesty 👍
Thanks Mr. Sam for the educative video.
Sam
Thank you for review on KAL 747 passenger service. It good to see Queen of Skies still flying with people an not cargo.
I am a big fan of yours! Say hi if you're ever at Washington-Dulles International. Thank you for another fantastic video!
*Hamilton Morris in the video was a nice suprise!*
Love his honest comments.
Sam always giving us great content
I flew Premium economy this year on a 13 hour flight from Frankfurt to buenos Aires and it was really, really great. It was very comfortable and I had a lot of leg room. This is a huge downgrade sadly
11:05 so lovely reaction of the lady in the back :D
Sam Fun Fact: I tracked your 747-8 when it landed, I was the United 777-300ER headed back to my home in IAD (Dulles) Please come to Dulles I will show u around.
Nice. I live in Montana USA and the sky is busy with the Europe bound aircraft. So nice to see what you see. Thank you!
Sam you probably know, but your takeoff from LAX was live on Airline Videos Live. The best spotter channel from LAX on YT
Love the honesty from you Sam
Good job, keep it up brother
3:44 Spot on my home town :D Funny to see this in a video
Love heating and cooling aspect in the seat
Yeah we have smoke in Switzerland for weeks because in Canada every tree is burned to ash, but I'm glad you can cook your ass on the plane.
💋
Saving the planet again
ayy, the points guy, favourite part
Thank you! Danke! Your videos are always ace. And so is this one. Stay safe!
amazing they plan 2 years ahead to retro fit the planes. That is a big call. As a solo traveller i prefer the single windo seat have been on the Throne seat a few times which is great but i cant see out the window as good as being right next to it. Graet video again. Thank you
Great knowledge
No wow factor unfortunately. I'm not sure about the 2 people first class cabin though? Is it for 1 person? Or can a random stranger book the seat next to you too? Business class looks good but lacks a wow factor too
Or, what if 2 person travel together and just book 1 first class and the other book economy, and when it’s on the air, the person who is in economy come to the first class joining the other person since they are friends or couple. How about that?
thank god the Lufthansa group is finally moving to a good business class layout. I don't have the money to fly business but I will soon have enough miles to do an upgrade but the old layout would mean no isle access or no window. Also strange for solo travelers to be put together with a second.
Don't get too excited. You won't even see the first new delivery with the new product until 2024 and the retrofits will take years if they ever happen. This was pure marketing since they know their hard product sucks on most long haul aircraft. You'll also be disappointed if they do an equipment swap.
Great video, very interesting
Loved the lady cracking at sam slamming the premium economy sear
The mount of clapping noises coming from that cabin would be insane
Sincere opinions, salute
I was recently on a new virgin a350-1000 and it's a beautiful plane. My main complaint is that when someone reclines the seat in front of you economy there is no space. I dont think economy seats should recline because of this.
On time ❤🎉
Love your work. Good Style.
They could use the same doors from the single suite rather than a curtain. Other than that amazing product, one can only wish to experience one day.
Well, this is the real top vlog review from prof. Sam emeritus! I have been waiting too long for this kind of a vlog. This is the top! Sorry, but I have no interes in not 2nd nor 3rd class topics about airliners, majority will never use in transportation, but I guess that was due to limited options in Covid time. Thanks for this outstanding facts!😎
Awesome job sam
Tkx for always being honest while sharing your thoughts. I must agree though with Al Bakar last statement about Lufthansa, the new J and F class seem to be full of gadgets to be honest. Funny that no one has talked about seating... will those new seats are really comfortable? How Lufthansa has improved them compare to all the gadgets they brought in ? Sad because i always enjoyed travelling First Class with Lufthansa. Now every passenger are going to be hidden with as sens of claustrophobia. Why these days people are getting scared to be seen or share a commune space while traveling... May be im getting too old haha. Tkx again for you work Mr. Sam.
The 1st suite is great. How do they price it? As 2 people can nicely fit, is it a suite price or per person?
Hi from Bulgaria :-) Thank You for the nice views and excellent Video as usual !
This is awesome.
I love your honesty
It's great to be comfortable while traveling.
This is insane!
great video sam 🤩
thx very great video.
Nice!
