My favourite tenderloine is the one from Uruguay
Is it worth to pay so much more than the business class?
I'm stunned by the suffering you sometimes have to endure to make your reports. Thank you Paul, you're the best!
Couldn't agree more. Life can be sooo cruel sometimes. 🙃
Cometh the hour, cometh the man...
Not all heroes wear capes.
Haha, the comment and replies made me laugh 😆 👏
The 747-8....so good you get the ending twice.
I think the big noise at 12:15 is the nosewheel getting retracted then braking to stop it spinning, right under your feet. Awesome
Were your slippers on the wrong feet? I blame the first class drinks for that! Great video once again 👍🏻
Dude took a freaking bath in the airport!!!
Now that is First Class! What a treat!👍
What a mad old world it is when if you take an extra flight it’s cheaper 😳
Paul,
I subscribe to a number of flight enthusiast/review channels (as most of us here do). While I feel that there is certainly room for all of them here, reviews like this just do something others can’t. Maybe it’s your personality and style, or maybe I’m just an American Yankee charmed by the British accent - either way, thanks for what you do - pretty cool to travel first class up front on the Queen from my backyard. Cheers.
Just wait until Eric meets the Southern Belles with their accents... final score, 100-03, Belles. He'll be evaporated by charm.
I agree, Paul. There is no other aircraft that offers this experience than a 747 in 1A. That slight forward view, no one passing by your seat, the uniqueness of the space, everything. I loved it but fear I'll never do it again. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed this video Paul ! What a 1st class experience 👏 Thanks 👍
Amazing Paul. I ticked this experience off my bucket list last month flying Frankfurt to San Fransisco. Crew was amazing, seat/bed the best, food and drink sensational! Plus the Porsche pyjamas you get to keep. Fully recommend this. Plus I only paid $800 USD for the privilege as part of my round the world ticket!
What a fantastic flight and flight experience.
Great content yet again.
Keep it up.
I was met at the aircraft and driven to the first class lounge in a very nice Porsche EV. The inbound flight had an apron position. The look on other passengers faces as they boarded a bus and I walked towards the car was priceless.
Great video, Paul, as always. Glad you got to finally experience 1A on the LH B747-8 🙂 I missed out on the First Class Terminal, and even the lounge, due to a very tight connection when I tried but the in-flight service was amazing and 1A is unmatched. Some aspects were less five-star, like losing my luggage outbound and bumping me to BA on the return. But, at those ex-Gothenburg prices it might be worth giving LH another try. I'm off to 'The Matrix' 😉 Rob.
Nice to see 747 back in service ..my favorite aircraft. Especially 1st class..Pan Am first class was my first first class and still memorable
Great lounges.Like the cabin.Great work
What a superb product and an equally good review thanks Paul. That's the way to travel
Absolutely brilliant video the Lufthansa first looks amazing 👍 thanks Paul
That Lufthansa Rubber Ducky made me chuckle.
I once flew with Lufthansa, and they didn't have any cheese or sausage. It was a wurst käse scenario.
Wow great video Paul. I had the privilege of sitting in seat 1a back in about 1987ish with Virgin to Florida, it was an amazing seat and still all these years later I still remember it. Not the luxury you had with you seat but it was a very very special flight x
Excellent video as usual Paul and you had a great bargain simply by doing that extra flight!!!
Wow, that looked incredible - it’s such a shame that so few of the airlines bought the 747-8.
That’s the sort of 1st class I’d love - it’s not the “footballer’s wife” lack of class that emirates et al have.
As for the fare, amazing to think it’s a 3rd of the price when flying from Sweden! Air fare pricing is bizarre!
"Footballer's wife" first class - I'll use that expression in future! Ha!
I was in the Dubai lounge the other day and "footballers wife" is maybe a polite way of describing some of the cosmetic, eh, enhancements on display.
I was a mechanic on the 747-8!
Ride on it while you can. There will never be a plane like it again!
WOW!!! Great job, Paul!
Wow - you sure looked comfy in those PJ's! Thanks for bringing us along!
Paul fun vlog as always
Love that un were forced to use the special first class door
What a spectacular experience! Thanks for another great video. 👏👏👏
A real "being there" feel to this video Paul!
An amazing video on an amazing aircraft type and an amazing first class product!
I had a great time flying in this cabin from Houston to Frankfurt in July, but definitely the ground service looks incomparable at Frankfurt. Thanks for your review!
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks
Been missing you so happy to see this vid!!! Glad to see you out and about again!! BTW got one of your totes and getting ready to get a t-shirt!!
Absolutely fantastic trip report Paul!😸
Awesome video, Paul!
Such a nice man!! Thank you!!❤️❤️
Brilliant video thanks Paul. Lucky you
Incredible video. Lufthansa first class looks lovely! I also love your shirt! That color looks great on you!
Awesome video Paul! Lufthansa knows how to do 1st class. Much love from the United States❤️
incredible experience, congrats
It looked fine to me! Thank you for the video!
Flew this on LH754 from Frankfurt to Bangalore, India and sat in 1K. It was absolutely incredible!!
Excellent review. Put me in mind of my years ago trip from Frankfurt to Boston in 1st on a Lufthansa A340. Cabin and seating were similar although not quite as spacious. This was before they opened the dedicated 1st class terminal. Thank you, Paul.
great video paul
Love the videos Paul!
I’m in love with the 747. You’re so lucky. Consider yourself blessed.
Heard a lot about the LH first class experience, and it was great to see this "soup to nuts" comprehensive review. I had the pleasure of flying first class in the 747 nose on an Alitalia flight from Bangkok to Rome a good few years ago. Sublime experience! That semi-forward view through the front windows has to be unique in flying on a large commercial jet.
Love love LOVE this! Thank you for sharing! Would really like to do this one day, but I’m afraid the 747’s will be phased out by the time I retire! Love your videos!
Great trip. Love your vids.
NICE video thanks Mate
Nice review, Paul! Going on the same flight, in the same seat next Wednesday! Can’t wait! 😬
Great video!
This is nice.. Lufthansa first class 👍
Paul,
Fantastic!
How are you going to beat that!
Can't wait:)
Cheers,
Rik
Great video again Paul. Thank you for the review. I've only flown business on Lufthansa and the fantastic service made up for the hard product. Also, necking that vodka like a pro and still managing to film straight.
Great flight, especially seating on First row at 747 First Class
Wow! thanks for sharing mate. One day.......
WE STAN A FIRST CLASS VIDEO IN THIS HOUSE 🔥
Great video! I did a similar trip last month IAD-FRA-CPT and return.
Lovely video thanks 😊
that was worth every penny,nice one paul. brian d.
Particularly enjoyed the tasting notes. Good to see you getting max. enjoyment on this one. One hesitates to ask what happens to all that food you were unable to eat.
Gets recycled down to business then on to economy! 😳
Cheers Paul.
After entertaining us for years, you deserve more first class flights with tailor made experiences.
Ive done the Lufthansa First Class Terminal many times and would book a 7 hour layover on my way to London just to have a nice soak in that tub. I have a little rubber ducky collection. Your video brings it all back, there is nothing like Lufthansa First hmmm maybe Singapore. Ive done Singapore in seat 1A too, right in the nose. Great video Paul!
OMG Paul, that is what flying should be like on every flight. I haven't had good veal since I lived in Germany. I have always wanted to fly Lufthansa.
Undoubtly one of the most iconic flight experiences you can have. Thanks for this nice, complete report 👍
Then you´ve never been in 1st Class with Emirates or Singapore!
Lufthansa´s 1st is pathetic compared to EK & SQ!
Will fly Etihad´s 1st in November and I be everything that also their 1st is better.
Fuck, even Cathay´s 1st class is better than Lufthansa!
Very nice! 👍🏻
I give full marks for your presentation. Thank you very much.
Back in the day when USAir was Star Alliance, I flew in First, three times RT, from the States to Frankfurt and once to Munich. What fond memories.
Welldone keep up the good work
Wow. Another really great report. Thank you so much. The only thing wrong with your travel reports is that they make everyone elses look so pallid by comparison.
Another great video Paul! I loved watching this one, coincidentally I recently made a video of the same aircraft in the same seat en route to Mumbai in May. My favorite part was the caviar as that was a first for me, and the Royal Brackla scotch was the best I've ever had - incredible meal service. However my experience on the ground was pretty horrendous and I didn't have enough time during my connection to get to the first class lounge, or so I thought.✌
Superb!! Gotta try that service one day…..although all the 747s will be long gone by the time I get around to it!!👍🏻✈️
Great review
Best Segway for a promotion I’ve ever seen
The best airline ever !
What an absolutely awesome video and insight into another world thank you so much Paul ❤
Ps I did laugh at your slippers that could possibly be on the wrong feet ? 16:38 😂
The vibes in the First Class Lounge in Frankfurt are ✨I M M A C U L A T E✨
Can't beat a good port I've got me a 20 year old Taylor's at the moment delicious! Lovely review by the way
I have siblings in Europe. I’m in America. So to Europe I fly Lufthansa First Class (fav seat 1A) and then purposely schedule a 2.5 hour layover in Frankfurt to shower, refresh, have a meal in the restaurant and then continue on. On return home I usually fly Swiss First or SAS Business (depending which sibling I’m visiting) nonstop because I just want to get home to my own bed. 😉. Without a doubt, I think Lufthansa First is the best for my needs 👍🏻. Glad you enjoyed it Paul
Speaking from one lucky person to another, flying Qantas First Class return from Sydney to London next month. Even though a different product your vid is making me so excited. Happy travels. ✈️
15:13 hahaha, absolutely correct!!!
Very nice video
Great video. It is nice to see how ŕhe other half lives
Best thing in the world,turning left on a Jumbo👍
I “flew the nose” of a UAL 747 from BKK-NRT back in 2004, and the sensation of being in front of the pilots is remarkable!
I did the same route in 2006 just when the First class terminal was new. It was an amazing experience and was lucky to use miles to upgrade to first again in 2008 to EZE via Sao Paulo and in 2015 to Dubai. It is an amazing experience but you feel spoilt and difficult to endure the regular airport experience after that.
If this was me, I'd be crying and not want to leave at the end of it 🤣
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is one of my favorite movies.
Take the pj's home. A good video as always.
That’s my dream plane to pilot, it looks so nice.
We're doing the exact same trip in October in seats 1A and 1K, can't wait. We have a rather obscene connection time at Frankfurt of 11 hours too, so we'll be sure to make use of all of the facilities 🙂. Flying back on Swiss A340 First to be able to compare. Amazing deals to be had during Lufthansa's Companion fare offers!!
We did it and it was amazing!! I would say that Lufthansa 747 experience trumped Swiss A340 but probably swayed by the dodgy catering out of Jo'burg.
1A on a 747 is as good as it gets. You can keep the upper deck. Whenever I flew on a 747, I always tried to get seat 1A.
Further proof that Lufthansa offers the best in-flight service. Luxury all the way
Tjsnld Paul for a great review💙😀
Tell me im not the only who would describe this video as Paul having a bit of a party for 1?
Recently flew Lufthansa’s Business class LHR-GRU. 747 upper deck was very nice, comfortable seat/bed, good service and food. However my experience with Air France more recently was even better, only one seat on the window side of the corridor, seat bed as good as Lufthansa, service and food even better. Obviously first class is another level so thanks for your review.
Looks like a great product, but I would have complained about the boarding shambles. Apart from the comfort of the seat, one of the important reasons for paying extra is easy boarding without queuing and waiting around. Particularly in first class.
Hello Paul - I am delighted you had the opportunity to sample the landside F class lounge. I was lucky to attend the opening ceremony a number of years ago. There is nothing quite like this facility anywhere in the world. Lufthansa hides its top product under a bushel. Pre-pandemic Lufthansa also had an airside F class lounge (intended for transfer pax). But it wasn't as good and I am not sure whether or not it is open now (it might have closed during the pandemic).
With the fantastic subject matter and your review of the on the ground services as well as the flight itself, I couldn't get over the fact that you had the slippers on the wrong feet. 🤷 😂
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed…😂
