I'm so glad Lufthansa will keep these birds flying and therefore visible to the public eye for many years to come because I've been fascinated by them since I was a little boy and lived near an airport when they first flew in the late 1960's/early 1970's.
Nicely done! Fun fact: If you choose the very first seat row inside that nose, you're actually sitting in front of the pilot 😮 No other plane in the world offers that feature 😎
WOW! A window in the bathroom!! If you are not looking out the window......its impressive how much air traffic is zooming past you! Great trip report! Seems like a wonderful travel experience!!
747s will always be the best airplane product of all times. I have flown the 747s all over the entire world since 1970. I do not understand the demise of the 747s == fuel costs, etc. ? This video was absolutely superb and highly enjoyable.
Welcome back with this wonderful vlog. Your vlogs are always so well done and interesting. A dream is to fly Lufthansa’s 747-800 First Class, but alas, my never happen. Thanks for taking us along on your journey! 👍
Thank you for a wonderfully entertaining trip to Chicago! You have done an excellent job with your video of this unforgettable trip and your efforts at photographing and commentary as your flight went across the sky. You would make a superb individual to escort flyers across our planet! Well Done! And again... Thank You! RS.
My view on Air Travel is binary. I either fly coach as cheap as possible using flights where i do not sleep (using my status for extra legroom and recline seats) or I bite the bullet and fly first class as I am 6’5” tall with knee problems and business beds are not long enough. The 747 has always been my favorite in 1A so you can look forward. I am looking forward to the Boom Supersonic planes but LHR to LAX via FRA on Lufthansa is on my bucket list. Probably next year as I celebrate my 70th birthday. Great video by the way.
Not halfway thru your video and already I'm impressed with the unique, shadow shot of the jet over clouds, then ground. Nice. Shot we only need to see once, but no one ever showed before; the mechanical guts under the seat. So this is how it chewed up my ipad. 😏
This is one of your best reviews! Outstanding photography, the scenes leaving Frankfurt were awesome. Your programs are the most comprehensive of all of the aviation reviews. I am still amused that one has to "trudge over" to the Lufthansa First Class Building at the Frankfurt Airport. You'd think they could at least offer a golf cart type of vehicle to transport you over there. It's definitely worth visiting but I don't like that walk. 🤣. Looking forward to you next upload. 👍🏻
Thanks a lot I appreciate that! Yeah I found it funny no type of shuttle was offered, I even asked for help finding the terminal because the signage was so unclear haha
Private investigator Quintin, always curious also under the seats 😂😂😂😂 next time you should make your driver stop in front of the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, then you don’t have to do the awkward walk from the arrival area. The colorful rubber duck is cute❤️❤️❤️
Haha hey I’m always looking for a different angle! I had stayed at the airport hotel the night before so I wasn’t able to pre-arrange a driver (which I believe is complimentary for First Class). But the walk was amusing lol
So nice to see that the B747 is alive and well at least on a smaller scale. Lufthansa is one of the few remaining airlines that operates the B747, and the only airline that operates the B744 and B748 simultaneously.
Friendly correction: Frankfurt is not now nor it had ever been a German capital :) Berlin is the capital now, whilst Bonn used to be the Capital of West Germany during the cold war partition. Oh... and by the way... Amsterdam is also not Capital of the Netherlands 😂🤣 The Hague (Den Haag) is and had been ever since the Dutch freed themselves from the Spanish colonisation. We love our American visitors 🥰 (Otherwise, an amazing video, and even more amazing price you've managed to find to enjoy first class luxury, congratulations - skills that you do have are far more important than knowledge of European capitals 😎)
I was about to go there. The closest Frankfurt ever was to being a German capital was the Frankfurt Parliament in 1848. (Then, you needed to be a history buff to know that.)
@@Archduke17 There was also Frankfurt school in 1960s... sometimes I think it made Frankfurt the Capital of the World - ideological followers of the Frankfurt school are still rulling over all of us in one way or another 😂🤣
@@outoftheframe1280 I stand corrected. For all of my 57 years of life this far I believed The Hague was the Capital 🤣😅 In fact it is officially designated as "The Seat of the Dutch Government" which in your country appears to mean something different from the notion of the Capital City. I also wish to say that I remember seeing something resembling a Royal Palace on my walks around your town. And remember wondering to myself: "But what is it doing here? Why it is not in the Hague? 😂🤣 Too many joints being smoked in the vicinity and the overwhelming smell of burning dope was obviously affecting my reasoning at the time. I apologise 🙂 Anyway I think Naarden should be the Capital, I also love s-Hertogenboesch and of big cities Eindhoven is by far my favourite. Netherlands is a very nice country, every time I was there, I enjoyed my time. The Dutch are kind and hospitable people. Thank you! ❤️
Very nice video! But at 4:40, Frankfurt is not Germany’s capital city, and never was. It was Berlin, then changed to Bonn between the war and reunification, now it is again Berlin.
Wow! Totally awesome video! I would definitely give it a five star rating! Enjoyed every minute of it from start to finish! Everyone should hit the like button! Great job Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!
I’m with you on the lie flat seat. I saw the seat control and I was like you mean it doesn’t turn into a bed? 🤦🏻😂 plus you get the upper deck and the lie flat in business class! I’d want all that although all that food looked delicious. 😋
Good afternoon from Brazil, Man! Nice video, thanks for that. I LOVE the BOEING 747-8i and I also impressed by the quality of the services you shown in this video. Lufthansa is really incredible and I want to travel with this Aircraft someday and I'm already have a Lufthansa Account to do that. I sent a compliment for them for the services and especially for keep the Queen of Skies on their fleet. I've just just subscribed and I will follow your content. Thanks and have a nice day. PS: I fly with the Boeing 747-8i on the Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Thank you for sharing this experience. Lufthansa's 747-8 First Class product looks inferior to many airlines' business class products these days. And the 2-2-2 business class product is very dated.
É muito lindo esse avião impossível não admirar , esse fez história e estará sempre em nossos corações parabéns a Boeing por nós proporcionar tão grande alegria e prazer em vê.
Did an LAX to FRA trip - upstairs - wife and I were the only passengers - we got crazy service - she slept a lot I enjoyed every tidbit and drink I could - thank you United/Lufthansa and staff
Thank you! I booked a one way ticket to get to Tunis for around $250. This video’s ticket was on a different one-way reservation that originated in Tunis to Chicago (with an overnight Frankfurt transfer). It’s an interesting way to score a cheap fare, but after getting detained and strip searched in Tunisia for being an American I’ll probably not do it again 😂
@@QFSAviation OMG. Are you serious about the strip search? I have heard about these deals starting if off-beat places like Algiers and Cairo. To be clear, where was your originating airport to get to Tunis? Stay safe.
The new Germany was born in May 1949. From then until 1990 Bonn was our capital. After we got reunited with the GDR Berlin is our capital. Place of all government buildings and our parlament. Lufthansa wasn't allowed to fly to Berlin during the cold war. Only Pan Am ( USA ), Air France and British were allowed to fly from West Germany via three airways to the island West Berlin. During that time Frankfurt developed itself step by step to a intercontinental hub. Lufthansa resumed flights from December 1989 on. Their promise to make Berlin their main hub again was never kept. Frankfurt is their Nr.1 hub followed by Munich. Berlin doesn't play even a small role in Lufthansa's movie....
What a fantastic review! Makes my reviews look really crummy haha. Looks like Lufty's crew and ground staff didn't mind passengers filming. You have a new subscriber and an added like! Jazzy
Sometimes, its not because you should. But its because you simply can. This flight is on my bucket list.
You should. Although a First Class ticket from Frankfurt to Chicago is 10K $ .
The 747-8 is gorgeous. A work of art.
I'm so glad Lufthansa will keep these birds flying and therefore visible to the public eye for many years to come because I've been fascinated by them since I was a little boy and lived near an airport when they first flew in the late 1960's/early 1970's.
Best review of a airline flight I've ever seen! No arrogant remarks, no insults, just observations!!! Bravo X Bravo!!!!
Nicely done! Fun fact: If you choose the very first seat row inside that nose, you're actually sitting in front of the pilot 😮 No other plane in the world offers that feature 😎
4:43 Berlin is Germany's capital
Unfortunately yes😂
Ami halt, was willst du erwarten? 😂
typical Americans 😉
Ooh you get a cookie
Smartass
Thank you for video! A real report without any exaggerations or show. We need more like this on RUclips.
WOW! A window in the bathroom!! If you are not looking out the window......its impressive how much air traffic is zooming past you! Great trip report! Seems like a wonderful travel experience!!
Thanks QFS!!
I always welcome a vlog on 747’s. My cousin’s husband was a 747 captain in the heyday. I enjoy your presentations always! Lots of ambience! Best! 👍✈️

Thanks for the effort taken to share with us another superb presentation Quintin. That Lufthansa experience was quite one to remember!
Glad you enjoyed it Pierre! Thank you!

Same for me.
I have enjoyed every flight with them. Don't think it gets any better
Love it when you upload.. you are one of the best aviation channels out there.
Hey thank you so much that’s really kind of you 😊
Thanks!
I loved the scenes of Frankfurt as you were still climbing. I had no idea Frankfurt was so green! Beautiful.
Great filming quality. Well done!
I love ur video and how u show every little detail of everything. Great work.
A most excellent video with a great guide and host. Thank you
Glad to see the A340 at 8:11 is still in service. They used to fly one between Portland, OR and Frankfurt. Exceptional business class.
I love the A340! What I don't like is Caviar at any price!
Thank you for a wonderfully entertaining trip to Chicago! You have done an excellent job with your video of this unforgettable trip and your efforts at photographing and commentary as your flight went across the sky. You would make a superb individual to escort flyers across our planet! Well Done! And again... Thank You! RS.
The Queen of the Skies is a beautiful airplane. I've enjoyed several flights on this type of aircraft. Thanks Quintin for a great video💚👌👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it Scott! The 747 will always be the best ✈️
I was fortunate enough to be allowed to spend a few hours in the cockpits of two BA 747s in the pre 911 days.
Thanks for this, awesome video! I had the privilege of seat 1A last year, it was amazing to actually have some forward view due to the slant.

Looking forward to this one! I'm from Chicago and just flew the queen last week.
Nice!!!! I hope you enjoy 😊
Loved your catching other jets in flight...very cool!
Your videos are amazing and this one is one of your finest! Thanks for sharing!
A beautiful Tripreport. Thx. I hope I can fly one Time with LH First Class. Thx a lot. Best wishes. Daniel
Hey buddy, awesome flight very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Thanks man! I definitely need to get better at pumping these out, I’ve filmed dozens of cool flights so far this year

Danke für die schönen Bilder und die dazu passende Musik
So nostalgic flying on a 747! I've been contemplating on visiting Germany again to buy new and used music.
That was a quite enjoyable video. Very interesting how you purchased this ticket in Tunisia for less than half what would normally be charged. Thanks!
since when frankfurt is german's capital?
Never was... However Frankfurt has been the connection hub for Lufthansa in Germany, since at least the mid eighties or earlier
Must really hack off Berlin with that comment lol 😢
Frankfortt-Am-Mein was never the capital. I flew there in June 1962 from Cairo on BBOC ‘COMET’!
That level of education !wow I didn’t know 😂
I want to go! Wow wonderful Lufthansa is the best…..keep those 747’s !
Wow, that’s cheeky walking to the front of the cabin and filming everyone (notice the look on the stewardess!). Really??? 7:38
Well done young man. What a great review.
Great Video! Nice LH 1st class ...I always fly by Lufthansa long haul to GIG and EZE aboard thos B 748-800 ....

MAN WTF💀💀💀💀 Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. I live there. The Hague is not the capital
Sorry you are confusing the capital ( Amsterdam ) with the administrative and governmental centre , The Hague . Amsterdam IS the capital .

Queen of the Skies still lives on!!!
Love it the queen 👑 kommt seen Yankee tango in the background she's my favorite Lufthansa 🇩🇪✌️♥️ guten Tag
Thanks you Lufthansa for keeping the B747-8 and A340-600 flying 🪽 you're one of the best airliners in the world 🤍💙
Airliner means plane, you should’ve said airline.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
A beauty Queen of the sky’s ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
KONTINENTAL HOCKEY LEAGUE. Omg. Great video!!!!!!!
Beautiful! Thank you👍😊
The Arab airlines have set the bar very high . They are worth the cost of first class for sure . ❤️😁
I love the 747. Upstairs on that plane is a wonderful experience.
Very nice video! But at 4:40, Frankfurt is not Germany’s capital city, and never was. It was Berlin, then changed to Bonn between the war and reunification, now it is again Berlin.
Finally Q, been waiting for this one for so long👌😀
I Havent Experience B747-8 Jet.Great Video And Info

I don't believe I've seen better plane-to-ground camera work on any other travel youtube provider...
Wow! Totally awesome video! I would definitely give it a five star rating! Enjoyed every minute of it from start to finish! Everyone should hit the like button! Great job Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!

Amazing work as always Quintin! Do you have a playlist of your Lo-Fi music? It’s so classy and relaxing!

The Best B 747 8 ❤
Frankfurt is not Germany’s capital city…

Very enjoyable and informative video
Love that video. But that tea was definitely not English breakfast! Far too weak 🤣
Nice job well done, thnx
25:08 a nice "high"light, overall very nice well made video
I remember flying on her in November she a beauty 🔥
There’s nothing quite like flying the Queen 👑
Amazing video! :)
Beautiful video man!
I’m with you on the lie flat seat. I saw the seat control and I was like you mean it doesn’t turn into a bed? 🤦🏻😂 plus you get the upper deck and the lie flat in business class! I’d want all that although all that food looked delicious. 😋

For the love of all things tea... Please let the bag steep just a little longer... Please... I have been twice heartbroken in this video 🤣
What a expirience man nice one!👍
really great footage
I've never flown Lufthansa First Class. I do enjoy their Business Class & lounge, tough the lounge does get quite full these days.
Always will be the true king of the sky!
El 747 de Lufthansa es un símbolo de una manera de ser y de viajar. Me parece espectacular que sigan utilizándoles incluso más allá de 2030.
Great video👍✈️
I love your reports! I just subscribed! Keep up the good work!!❤❤❤❤

ON THE OUTRO, YOU WERE ON YOUR NEXT FLIGHT, YOU WERE GOING WHERE, BACK HOME?
BUT HIS NAILS!!!!!! 🤑🤑🤑
His main job is at Jiffy Lube
Great video. So, would you take a little time to explain your prequel flight to Tunis? Were these all one-ways? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Luke 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Nicely done mate 👌
Amazing video! The only thing is that Berlin is Germany’s capital city 😉
