Von allen Städten, in die Sie gereist sind, war die Ihre Lieblingsstadt?
@@rollie206 good Question. Will be answered in my Q&A
What motivated you to start the channel?
@@timothycollins2613 thanks for your question 😊
how old are you ? & What do you do in your normal life ?.
I flew Lufthansa primum economy from Newark to Munich in July and it was great, totally worth the money especially on the overnight flight if you want to get some sleep.... I am planning to do this again next summer . Nice video!
Oh that's good to hear. My opinion right now is that I will never book it again on a overnight flight because the benefit is so small for me. 🙄 Let's if there is any difference on a day flight back to New York.
@@FlyAround i totally understand :) Let us know how you feel on a day flight , safe travels!
@@anetawhotravels I will review this flight as well and compare the product if it is worth it :)
Nice report. It helped me evaluate Luftansa's Premium Economy. I think I will give them a try when I fly out later this summer.
Awesome. I'm glad to hear that my video was able to help during your decision process. 🙌
I am flying tomorrow July 03 YYZ - MUN and paid to upgrade to PE an is anticipating it very much. Thanks for your review.
How was your flight?
@@FlyAround to be honest about the experience, it was not all there in terms of the actual seat. I was able to pay the difference on the fare for the upgrade to premium economy. I am 6’5” and the seat being a hard shell, does not lend to space or leg room when extended. It is a poorly thought out process. The service was great the food was good. If I am to fly LH again, I would sooner choose a bulkhead seat for the legroom. My first time on the A350 , I loved the flight and the quiet of the cabin and the entertainment choices.
Another fantastic video. Premium Economy Class on Lufthansa looks phenomenal, and definitely worth the price you had payed
Thank you and welcome to the channel. How did you find it? 😊
I find it on RUclips 😂
@@Vinavia haha ok so thanks to RUclips then.
Lol. Also I hope you can have a look to my channel amd hope you will like my videos 😁
@@Vinavia Of course I will!
Video quality keeps improving, keep it up!
Wow. Thank you 😎
Awesome report mate. Well done!
Thank you :) I really appreciate your feedback.
Funny you mentioned LOT Polish Airlines. I flew with LOT many times and it was usually a negative experience. One time flying out of Newark, we were scheduled to take off in the evening around 7 or 8 pm, don’t remember the exact time, but we didn’t take off until about 7 AM the following day. Spent all night at the gate and LOT did absolutely nothing for their customers. Another time coming back from Warsaw on a LOT flight, the flight was delayed about 7 hours. Ultimately we ended up boarding some middle eastern plane that I guess was a substitute for the LOT airplane we were originally supposed to get on. There was also a time when I got to my destination in Poland, but my luggage didn’t arrive until the next day thanks to LOT. Unreal!
Wow. Your experience differs a lot from my experiences. My last flight was 4 hours delayed as well but the ground staff in New York provided free drinks and a food voucher after 3 hours on the ground. What was the reason for your delay? If it wasn't due to the weather you have the chance to get 600 Euros of compensation. They paid me immediately after I emailed their customers service. :) Anyways, thanks for watching my Lufthansa video haha
Omgg dude. Wish i was beside you. Lufthy is in my top fav airlines in the world! Awesome flight! 👍🏻💯
As always it was so much fun to fly on Lufthansa.
Nice seeing the route i fly most being reviewed by fly around.
It's my pleasure :)
The Airbus is just a beautiful airplane. As beautiful as your video. Can't wait to watch your next journey!
Thank you!
Block 11 Boeing is more prettier
I flew on PE recently on a day and a red eye flight on an LH A333. I booked a promotion fare and I think it was worth the money, especially on the red eye flight. I slept roughly five of seven hours, because I skipped the meal services. I had meals bevor and after the flight in LH lounges.
Btw good work, good report.
I'm glad you had a great experience on Lufthansa's A330! Getting 5 hours of sleep is fantastic. Only happens to me in Business Class. Thank you for your comment :)
Nice review! I currently consider flying with Lufthansa A350's in either economy class or premium economy class next year. Seems I get the answer after watching this video :) Thank you very much!
Thank you! So what's your answer? Will you fly Premium Economy?
Fly Around yes I will definitely choose premium economy class since the price differences between the 2 classes are not as huge as I know :)
I am gonna fly LH Premium economy in next 20 days. I have two flights BOM - MUC & MUC - DEN. I am very excited as it'll be my first time on Premium economy of LH on both of these flights and after watching this Video I can't wait anymore to have this pleasant experience. Great video and great work mate. Keep it up..!
Thank you so much. Enjoy your flight in Lufthansa's Premium Economy :)
I re-watched this video because I’m seriously thinking of upgrading one of my sectors to premium economy. But I think I still need convincing 🤔
How much would the upgrade be for you? I would rather safe that money and get an exit row Economy seat. 😅 I mean you get the same food and drinks.
You're right! I think an emergency exit seat might be a better option. I'm never really impressed by premium economy anyway and I would have to pay a few hundred euros just to get the upgrade.
Vielen Dank für das Video. Ich möchte nächsten Sommer nach Deutschland fliegen und möchte mit Lufthansa Premium Economy reisen. Nach dem, was Sie mir gezeigt haben, sieht es so aus, als ob es das zusätzliche Geld wert ist.
I really just want to see how much room the seat affords. In addition to how far it leans back
Well... did the video provide enough information?
1:08 When boarding an SQ flight back to Singapore, I tap on the fuselage of the aircraft too. It’s like saying a quiet “good to be home” to myself. Is that also why you do it? 😌 I see you get a lot more extras on Lufthansa’s premium economy when compared to Singapore Airlines.. By the way, did you like the A350 interior and configuration?
I don't know why I started it but somehow it became a habit of mine 😅 In the Amenity kit I got everything I needed for this 7 hour flight back to Germany but the seat is not much better than in Economy. F.e. the legrest is completely useless for a person of my height. If I stretch my legs, they don't even touch the legrest. Also the configuration is nothing special. Have you seen the SQ Premium Eco seat in the last 3 rows of their A350 ULR? That's what I would like to have 😂
@@FlyAround How tall are you?
@Fly Around At least you had a full amenity kit and welcome drink. You don’t get that on SQ. Oh yes I have the same problem with the leg rest! The angle is so poor when fully deployed it does not provide any support to your calves. I wrote to the airline to complain. It’s in effect a useless piece of equipment that is just taking up space. Yes I’ve seen SQ’s A350 ULR but that configuration is for their ultra Long haul flights to New York. Their normal premium economy is probably almost the same as Lufthansa.
Bin jetzt schon öfters mit der PE von LH geflogen, A333, A343, A346 und A380. Das etwas mehr Platz und etwas weiter verstellbare Rückenlehne bei langen Flügen :
FRA-MIA, YVR-MUC, FRA-SAN, SFO-MUC. Ist mir den Aufpreis wert.
Besonders im A330/A340 ist meiner Meinung nach der Aufpreis zu hoch. Da hat man mehr Platz, wenn man einen Notausgang (ohne Aufpreis) reserviert... In den anderen Flugzeugen kann ich das natürlich kaum beurteilen :)
Nice vid! Fan here! 😊
Thank you! It feels good to have you as a fan :)
Your video convinced me to shift to Premium Economy. Flying to Charlotte from Mumbai via Munich in August. That extra leg room is gonna be worth it.
I'm glad my video helped you in your decision process. Thank you so much for watching :)
It is worth it. I am flying form Denver Munich Bombay Frankfurt Houston.
LH is always offering a solid product! Totally would love the LH's experience in the air.
I agree with you. LH is always solid but not overwhelmingly luxurious as other airlines. Thanks for watching :)
For all: First song is Rock Angle from Joakim Karud
Correct 😅
@@FlyAround habe erst jetzt gemerkt das du deutsch sprichst xD
Haha, besser spät als nie ;)
@@FlyAround xD
Saving up to fly to Germany to drive the nurburgring. Might have to go premium economy for that long of a flight
That's a sick plan for a trip to Germany! 😅 Been to the Nürburgring once and it's worth every minute
My thoughts exactly. Munich, in my case
Have fun!
Richtig toller Report mal wieder! Qualität des Videos ist great! 👏🏻👏🏻 würde auch am liebsten mal premium eco fliegen aber ich denke auch nicht wirklich dass es sehr viele Vorteile gibt 🤷🏻♂️
Dankeschön 😊 Ist tatsächlich irgendwie nicht so wahnsinnig gut gewesen. Vielleicht ist der Service ja wenigstens besser auf dem 8.5h Flug von FRA-JFK am 6.1
love it, mate
Thanks! See you in 2 weeks. Will be back in the US on the 8th of January
Thinking of doing this PE for Toronto to MUC next spring. It's around an extra $380CAD, 7 hr 25 min. flight. Have done PE only on Air Canada. Reviews of LH's PE seats online, are rather lukewarm or mixed. Apparently, the seats are hard (firmer) compared to other airlines' PE offerings. Did you find the seat cushions hard on your back/behind? Thanks for a nice video.
I'm honest with you... The seats are not much more comfortable than LH's Economy seats. The meal will be the same but on more fancy plates etc. Also, I am 1.86m tall (6'1) and the leg rest that is only available in the first row doesn't provide more comfort. You will have the same legroom in the first row of Economy Class.
Better wait and upgrade yourself to Business Class one day :)
@@FlyAround Thanks for your honesty! I appreciate it. $400 is a lot of dough just for a few inches of legroom. I'm not tall, so legroom is not an issue. But seat cushion may be an issue because of my neck/back issues. No major issues yet with economy. Cheers.
I think Lufthansa Premium Economy it's a great product. I will gladly book a trip on it. Q&A Your fav airplane? Fav legacy Airline? Fav US carrier? Choose B-787 or A350?
Two years later, I get to answer your comment and I will answer your questions - My favorite airline is always the one I am flying on next. Before every flight I do a lot of research of the airline and get excited even more. Also, I would take the A350 over the B787 any day. :)
Nice video. Just curious? How full was this particular flight?
I believe it was completely full as it was a couple days before Christmas...
To be honest I don't know how to fly in Lufthansa's regular economy product, if you're taller than 185cm/6'1'' - I tested it at ITB earlier this year and it comes close to the definition of torture. So I think the Premium Eco you're showing is a good alternative, although it's not overwhelming as you say. Good job with your video! What's next?
haha, torture sounds a little bit too dramatic IMO. I'm 6'1 as well and it is not comfortable at all but on a 7-8 hour flight, I can live with. Furthermore, I would like to compare the Exit seat of LH (that I usually book with a height of 1.86m) to the Premium Economy Class. And after this particular flight, I decided for myself that it is not worth it. The service is the exact same as in Economy and the seat was not that much more comfortable than in Economy. In the future, I will save the extra money and spend it on a Business ticket if it is affordable. Next up is another LH flight back to NY in Premium Economy. Do you think the service will be better on a day flight?
@@FlyAround Well, the question is if you can AFTER it :D. Your LOT experience looked much better. That will be an interesting comparison you want to make (premium eco vs exit seat). Saving the money for a business ticket is always a good idea, but spending it for LH's business product? I wouldn't, it's outdated, isn't it?
Why do you think the product might be better on a day flight?
@@travelmentaryTV Today I found another deal of LOT to New York (600$ back and forth in Premium Economy). LH's prices are a joke compared to that. How can they justify a price that is at least double of the LOT price? I just wanted to try their product one time but I learned my lesson once again :D Obviously, I would not spend my money for LH's Business product. I might go for Austrian Airlines B767 in Business Class or Turkish Airlines B777 next year. Do you have any experiences with them to New York?
@@FlyAround Well, LH can justify the prices by being a German airline and hence operating within according to Germany's market situation and cost structure. With the destruction of Air Berlin they have even more freedom to do what they like. Additionally, LH has very close ties with most German companies, so they have a constant amount of business travelers. That explains how they make their ticket prices. In Poland the situation is completely different. But for you as a flexible traveler that's good. As I said I rarely fly with Star Alliance, but I heard good things about the catering of Austrian Airlines in business class.
Yes, that's true. After AirBerlin was gone LH reached a point where they have some kind of supremacy in the German Aviation industry. The only aspect that makes LH always a safe choice is their consistency in their product. As a traveler, you know what you get and that's why a lot of people still trust LH.
I'm saving up my miles right now for an Austrian flight, as a lot of people already asked for a review about it :)
Nice flight review :-)
Thanks a lot Romualdo! :)
@@FlyAround sure :-) looking forward for the next review :-) keep safe and happy travels :-)
Hi! Ich frage mich ob der ausklappbare Bildschirm nicht so niedrig hängt, dass man davon Schmerzen im Nacken bekommt? Im Gegensatz zu den normalen BIldschirmen, die geradeaus im Sitz stecken.
Und kann man seine eigenen Kopfhörer anstecken, hat das einen normalen 3,5mm-Klinkenanschluss?
Hi! Die erste Frage kann ich definitiv mit nein beantworten. Ich persönlich und meine Begleitung hatten keine Probleme mit der Position des Bildschirms. :) Ich bin mir nicht 100% sicher, aber ich glaube es war ein ganz normaler 3.5mm Klinkenanschluss.
Super video! Taking the front row same as yours for my flight to Munich. Is it comfortable for tall people?
To be honest the legroom was the same as in the first Economy row. Not really an upgrade.
@@FlyAround really? Mines an overnight flight and it's another 8 hours again from Munich to Toronto. Both journeys are via the same seat. Any tips for tall people?
I flew Lufthansa Airbus a 350 and there was on upgrade possibility to the Premium economy for 360€.
Did you upgrade yourself? I wouldn't pay 360 Euros for it tbh
@@FlyAround No.
really good cinematography skills!
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback concerning my editing :)
6:17 I still cannot work out what that is on your head. Looks like one of those travel aids you wrap around your neck to help you sleep. As I'm watching this, I'm starting to get disappointed that my last flight to Munich was not on the A350 :-(
That's an ovær neck pillow with a built in hood. 😅 Definitely a nice thing to have when flying in Economy Class.. I hope you will get the chance to fly on the A350 anytime soon!!
what seats would you recommend on Lufthansa’s Premium Economy on the A350? Im flying from Munich-Toronto and Im still unsure which seat to choose. For now I have 12A and C. Are these the best or should I switch to a different seat?
Try to go for the first Premium Economy row as it is the only row with a leg rest :) Enjoy your flight.
@@FlyAround Hey I went with my guts and chose right! Thank you!!!
@@desterine Glad to hear that. How was your experience? 😅
@@FlyAround Oh I didnt actually fly yet lol. I meant I went with my guts and chose the right seats. My flight is on August 10th and it is my return home. I am excited and I will let you know though!
LMAO bro im sitting on the same plane with the same seat as u from NY to Munch soon that's mad funny
12A haha
How cool is that! How did you like it?
Good Job! Seems like a good product!
Thank you! 😊
I booked a trip in Premium Economy next month on an A350. The difference in airfare between Economy and Premium Economy was only $450 so it made it a no brainier. It makes a big difference on a 9 or 10 hour-flight have more space and comfort.
Totally agree. On flight over 6 hours, the seat you have does matter a lot. The extra space makes the experience so much better
Only 450$? that alot of money
@@dqui1994 For real. I'm going to Frankfurt from NYC in March. I'm going to bid for PE but not going over the minimum bid of $155. If I lose the bid I'll just pay $85 for an exit seat and be happy. It's a 7.5 hour flight.
Nice video, but the music was annoying. Part of the flying experience is that awesome "flying sound". :-)
Thanks for watching :) My focus is on cinematography and the product in general. That's why you won't hear the "flying sound" so often.
I disagree😀... the music was great❤️😂
Yeah! Thank you@@nnovak2275
Just got off of this (ORD to MUC). Not terribly impressed. Even with full recline I have no hope for sleep, there is no air vent adjustment, and for the difference in price I would have appreciated a more differentiated meal and service experience. That said I’m sure it was much better than economy or even Delta’s 2-4-2 premium economy on their A350.
I couldn't agree more. But what aspect makes you come to the conclusion that it is better than Delta's A350 Premium Economy Class?
@@FlyAround Lufthansa’s PE is 2-3-2. I don’t know if the seat itself is wider on LH, but the armrest certainly is wider on LH than Delta.
I flew Lufthansa Premium Economy from Frankfurt to Mumbai. And it's nothing astonishing. Very disappointing. Service, food and drinks. I think the Lufthansa quality has really gone down. Don't waste your time and money. I also noticed passengers being ill treated by airline staff at Frankfurt Airport.
I above average expectations from Lufthansa. But highly disappointed. It was My first time flying this airline and it will be the last
Tolles Video. Du bist bombestisch
Dankeschön :)
Great video.
Thanks!
Oh god this annoying music... of course if you get a bulkhead seat it’s always roomier. 🍾🥂
Lower the volume if you don't like the music. ;) Thanks for watching.
Lufthansa will bring the Airbus a 350 to Montreal next month.
That's exciting news!
@@FlyAround Yes and it will be daily.
LH is a master of marketing hype. The A350 is just another plane. It's nice, no doubt. But I've flown on an AC 787-9 several times, and given a choice....it's 787 all the way, in economy. Seats more comfy, and the cabin just feels more airy and I'm less fatigued when I deplane after 8 hrs. cheers.
Bad choice of music, video create strains, need to learn how to shoot a video
So don't watch my videos. Bye ✌🏽
you must be annoying as hell filming everything
Whenever someone doesn't want me to film I'll stop doing it 😅
