Spotting and flying the 747-400 from Mallorca!

Join us for a ride on the beautiful Lufthansa 747-400, a very rare bird these days, and even more so within Europe. We're flying from Palma in Mallorca (PMI) to Frankfurt, one of Lufthansa's special Sunday flights during Easter. We begin the day by planespotting at PMI and meeting up with a bunch of friends of Flightradar24 who've all come out to greet the arrival of the 747. There's a Swiss A340-300 landing as an added bonus! And then we race over to the terminal to catch the 747 on its return leg back to Frankfurt, and we've got one of the best seats in the house - 84A on the upper deck. That means incredible wing and engine views and plenty of roar from those GE engines.
