TRIP REPORT | Lufthansa (Economy) | Boeing 747-400 | Frankfurt to Washington Dulles

After 2 weeks visiting Germany, I flew back to the US. I flew on another Boeing 747-400 to Washington Dulles, and thankfully this flight occurred during the day, so I was able to easily film all of the flight. Even better, we boarded via buses/stairs! It was the only time I've boarded a 747 via this method, and I'll forever remember it. Fun fact: I own a 1/200 scale model of the exact 747 that I flew on for this flight! Enjoy this ultra rare trip report.

747 is the forever classic. So nice to see boarding the jumbo by climbing up stairs after walking across apron.

[@alexmullane191]

I agree. Getting to board by stairs, as well as flying on this classic aircraft, are experiences that I'll never forget!

Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ that was a nice flight. :-) ✈️ It’s really unusual to board a jumbo jet on a remote area. The B747 is really iconic, i flew them way back 2008 and 2011 with Saudia and Cathay Pacific. ❤❤❤

@@romualdojoven8992 You're welcome! I'm glad that I was able to bring back some good memories :)

[@romualdojoven8992]

@ 👍 yup :-) I agree,🤩😍🥰 but really one thing is also noticeable, the loud engine sounds. It’s not annoying because i like engine sounds but if you compare it with newer aircraft generations such as the A350s, B787s and the A380 its much quieter. :-)
