    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.)

      @@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! ❤️

    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....

    Very much agree with your comment re business versus first class. Yes, the liquor and food are better in first, but smart fliers don't drink a lot of liquor and even in first the food generally suffers by comparison to a good restaurant. Taking everything into account--food, liquor, more space, extra attention on the ground and in the air--first is pleasant, but is it worth often twice the price of a business class seat? Based on recent experiences with Emirates and Air France first class, I'd say no.

    • @isasa5953
      @isasa5953 3 месяца назад

    Next time, try a dollop of caviar on the toasted bread, and add some of the other toppings. It will mellow out the saltiness of the straight up caviar, and the other add-ons should compliment the flavor nicely.
    My personal preference would be to skip the caviar, grab a couple of those pretzels, and wash them down with a beer! 🍺 Prost!

    Hey Quintin. Hope all is well. Here are the airlines that you should rake in the near future:
    JetBlue Airways: New York (JFK) - London (LHR) B6 1107 (29A)
    Play Airlines: London (STN) - Keflavik (KEF)
    Icelandair: Keflavik (KEF) - Seattle (SEA)
    Delta Airlines: Seattle (SEA) - Anchorage (ANC)
    Alaska Airlines: Anchorage (ANC) - New York (JFK)
    I am also encouraging you to upload a little bit more trip reports as often as possible, similar to your upload schedule prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as encouraging you to take the following airlines on this list. Icelandair currently flies Boeing 737 MAX between KEF and SEA, as well as a WOW Air successor trademarked as Play Airlines. I'd suggest you'd try those airlines, as they have great onboard products. Hope to see these trip reports on RUclips in the near future!

    I started flying Lufthansa First Class back in the ‘60’s when they had their 707 Intercontinental Jets. At that time, their First Class service was dubbed “Senator Service” and if memory serves me correctly, the red rose served as its mascot … a tradition that is still present to this day. My favorite seat/s are either 1A or 1K. 😉👍🏻. I really enjoy the inflight experience aboard Lufthansa and of course when transiting in FRA, I schedule a couple hour layover to enjoy the First Class Terminal to refreshen up with a hot shower or soaking bath. Then lunch and continue onto Sweden or Switzerland depending which Sibling I’m going to visit. Chicago O’Hare still holds a special place in my heart (even though I don’t live in Chicago anymore) because my childhood home was only 5 miles East of it. Thanks for sharing your experience Q 😉👍🏻. P.S. IMHO, those Polaris Passengers on that United flight above you are not even remotely close to enjoying the experience nor food quality that Lufthansa Business Class Passengers are. 🫤

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.
