Actually skytrax is not really a scam.Just that at times 5 star rated airlines like lufthansa deproved or maybe for that flight their standed was not that good
5 star for that airline who serves their pax like that with their reason for "efficiency"?? Meh.. Better not to ask or pay the skytrax for the rating..
Mazen Mady Agreed, especially considering that 2020 and onward Turkish will have a superior international Business class seat. Not to mention, they’re already superior now since they at least have real seats and an outstanding soft product.
Your channel and trip reviews are the best by far on RUclips! Not much blabla and self-staging like others, just informative and nice to watch. Please keep it up!
Lufthansa has forever been my first pick when flying from the Americas to Germany and back, because of just how consistent their service and quality is. I love this review!❤
Awesome TR as always ! That Arik Air A340-500 has to be CS-TFW and is stored since February of 2015 at Lagos. So it takes roughly 4 Years to make a plane look like that :O
What can you say, it's Nigeria. I have seen ex-Nigerian Airlines A310s, 737s as well as any number of other failed airline upstarts over the decades rotting at LOS.
cameraman655 In a school trip to Ghana in primary school, just before landing we saw an abandoned airplane just off the runway. So yeah, it doesn’t only happen in Nigeria
As it looks, this particular A340-500 was initially ordered by India's Kingfisher Airlines, but they never took delivery. It then was acquired by Portuguese Airline Hi-Fly and leased to Arik Air from 2008 to 2015, when Arik started to get into financial trouble. It has been sitting idle at LOS airport ever since. Without proper ventilation, the cabin will quickly get covered in mold, there will be corrosion abound, technical fluids deteriorate... and soon, without continuous maintenance, this aircraft can only be sold for scraps, at best. Today, it will be a costly operation to properly dispose of this plane...
I love your video and am subscribing to your channel - I think most travel vloggers are mistaken in thinking that we want to watch a video to see them - we watch these videos to see the "product" - your video never stops highlighting the product - Thank you!
Very nice flight report The Arik Air A340-500 looked so bad, thats really sad not propably stored like most planes just sitting thiee and rotting away :(. It was one of the most beautiful A345 liverys and the A345 alone is a beauty.
Important to note most airlines use their older product on flights to Africa...so, expect both service standards and hard product quality to be below the norm. p.s Lufthansa do actually offer decent service in this flights, can't say that for others.
This isn't an interior Business Class, it's the exact same product Lufthansa offers on all of their long-haul flights, even on their brand-new A350s...
Hey simply aviation your videos and your content is amazing I enjoy them a lot but one thing you should change is the color of the subtitles because it’s hard to see the words when there something over white other then that keep up the good work and looking forward to more of your videos cheers
Oops.but if NO skytrax, there is NO airline vloggers with much viewers.the majority of people look to the ratings and then click to Airline Videos.reality.
I agree about those Trents at full power !!! Were your nuts warm ?? Would love to fly Lufthansa one day...probably not to Lagos but they always appear to have a good solid product across all classes of flying..well done again !!
Another great video David, good job. Do not get me wrong, Lufthansa is a very good and solid airline and I will take them with no hesitation, however, they are definitely not deserve the 5 star which should be inspirational rather than just good. Skytrax is fishy
I love the shade thrown at 2:06 lol Basing all the videos I watch between Lufthansa and Turkish Airline, Lufthansa doesnt deserve the 5 Star Rating and so does Turkish Airlines 3 Star. Should be opposite in my opinion..
This may be a dumb question but keep in mind I have never flown business class before. When you are in the lie flat position do you still have to have your seat belt on?
No, you don't. Once the flight is cruising, you don't have to use the seatbelts sitting or lying down. Usually, when there is some turbulence, the fasten seat belt sign might come on our the pilot might make an announcement to wear seat belts. Generally, they will say keep seat belts on during the whole flight but once at cruising altitude, you don't have to.
There're are no transit facilities available in Malabo, you have to comply with all entry regulations... which I did. Visa is easy, just applied at the embassy 😉
I wouldn't consider turkish as 100% fully european airline.turkish is mostly competing with other middle east airlines,due to the geografic location of istanbul for east-west bound passengers and africa from european pax and etc.thats why they need to be competitive with their aircrafts.noone flies to istanbul from frankfurt just to get to paris.check? but yes,european airlines should improve.
SKAMTRAX!! No way is Lufthansa a 5 Star airline!
NYC Flyer Now thats hot
Actually skytrax is not really a scam.Just that at times 5 star rated airlines like lufthansa deproved or maybe for that flight their standed was not that good
No way Turkish Airlines is a 3star airline . I think Turkish and Lufthansa should switch scores
5 star for that airline who serves their pax like that with their reason for "efficiency"?? Meh.. Better not to ask or pay the skytrax for the rating..

Nothing beats the simplicity of Simply Aviation! ✈️
They really live up to their name
A pretty great flight report, as always! LH is one of my favorite airlines in europe.

Are you kidding? This product is clearly not the best

Is it also because Lagos is quite a humid environment, so that’s how the mildew and all that gunk got stuck to it?
All these years that ive been to lagos in the holidays ive seen it there. its sad to see a beautiful bird to be abandoned

Die Review ist mal was Neues (ohne Worte.). Das mit dem Filmen nach draussen finde ich fantastisch.
Naja Simply Aviation macht das schon 5 Jahre so also neu würde ich das jetzt nicht nennen xD
That intro music gives me a good vibe
Yesss

Simply aviation *uploads new video*
Me: HeHe Boi
what is name of the video
Thanks for your great job ! This is an other report that confirm LH is not a 5 stars company. I don't understand how LH is in the top 10 Skytrax...
There's their First Class service, though...
Not enough in my point of view for being in the top 10
Money can buy everything ;)
It's because of their direct aisle concept
Love the Spanish safety video, didn’t know Lufthansa offered that for its Spanish speaking destinations that’s awesome
Love your videos! Suscribed! Keep up the great work!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Some days ago i have maked a flight with Alitalia Boeing 777-300ER Rome-New York New York-Rome (for holiday)
Awesome video!!! Good job
Take a neck pillow.
You will need their pillow to your back because of the old and hard seats.
@HC K They have one 77W. EI-WLA.
The seats aren't hard
Yeah i've taked EI-WLA
bro seriously keep up the amazing work. best aviation channel ever!
Very nice flight report

Great tripreport. Love it so much.❤️❤️❤️
Yep
Looks like Malabo gave you a bone jarring welcome 🤣
What does that mean?
Great tripreport. Loved the wing views and scenery.
I think everyone is questioning the 5 star rating... giving LH a reason to ‘boost’ pricing for this...
Simply Aviation is Simply Amazing
Ich weiß nicht warum, aber ich freu mich immer wenn ich was deutsches in internationalen Videos sehe und es verstehe :D
The first landing looked better than the second one :D
a good trip report great job to Lufthansa
Nice tripreport as always !😁
Simply Aviation, YOU'RE BREATHTAKING
Siiick, you went to Equatorial Guinea
Dang that 2nd landing sounded like a hard one.
Important to note most airlines use their older product on flights to Africa...so, expect both service standards and hard product quality to be below the norm.
p.s Lufthansa do actually offer decent service in this flights, can't say that for others.
Agree with that, but for big cities in Africa, are they using newer airplane with newer layout cabin on this flight?
This isn't an interior Business Class, it's the exact same product Lufthansa offers on all of their long-haul flights, even on their brand-new A350s...
@@simply_aviation Good to know, let's have more flights into the African continent 👍👍👌

Mind-blowing mountains beutiful journey
Your channel is my number 1 favourite 😊😊
5:36.....RR Trents....? wimpy and quiet. Now JTD3 (all 4 air drum busting engines spooling up on a 707, now that is musical, LOUD but beautiful).
Rough landing or rough runway?
Lol, this is 5 star eh, scamtrax

@@delmonte4824 I know right, they have the airlines in their pockets
Arthur Lee The 5 Stars were given to Lufthansa after the announcement of their new 1-2-1 business class.
Spectacular trip report Felix. Great information about Lufthansa, keep it up!
BEST GUY EVER
Unique trip report.Trip reports to Malabo are rare hope you fly Ceiba Intercontinental
Oh is Lufthansa Business Class!
Felix‘s favourite airline 😉😉
I guess you know that I truly love Lufti 🤪🤣🤣🤣
It‘s a love and hate relationship 😂
Good video. Too sad about the A345 parked in Lagos. It was a very special airplane.
Me sitting at home after my shift and eating my microwave food while watching you enjoying your business class meal
Yess another video!
I love all of your videos!!!!!!😀

*Felix
I did this route in 2017.
And the Arik plane was parked in Lagos then as well.
Could you make a trip report from Amsterdam to Jakarta by Garuda Indonesia? please.... :)
I believe he would do that
Lol when I see a flight to a city I'm not familiar with, it tends to be a Felix report ;)
Hehe... Just thought the same! 😂
5 Star airline!!!!!!!
LH business class looks dated and tired.
New one is coming with the introduction of the 777x. The 2 2 2 configuration is for me the worst thing about the businessclass of LH nowadays
thegeneral123 i just flew the new A350 and the buissness was pretty great
@@sergejkarl2149 2-3-2 is also not good. The best Business Class should have 1-2-1
5:47 condensation in the engines :D
I had the gnocchi on the 747-8 from Frankfurt to Houston and it was horrible! Everything here was on the menu on my flight
Love it
Great vid Felix! I love Lufthansa Business and Im sure you enjoyed it
You are my favourite tripreport member :)
It’s not even that good, how can you be sure he enjoyed it
@@ΤΗΞΙηΣΑζΤΞΚδ It really is tho
Teddietubehd no it’s not, the seats in this video are not good
@@ΤΗΞΙηΣΑζΤΞΚδ no one asked and no one cares
Teddietubehd it is a public forum so by you commenting you did ask. You may not care but you did ask
well done! love your videos
Lufthansa is good but should have priority boarding and business class busses as they are a5star airline
What happened to that a340 air that was just sitting at the airport ???
Yassss!!!
Great Review. Thanks
Poor Airbus A340 :c
Poor seats but great catering.
And a pretty hard landing.
8:11 bearthtaking :D
Is there a 5 star airline in the world that doesn't offer buses to a plane not parked at the plane? What do you say SCAMTRAX?
14:55 when are you going to fly KQ?
really cool bro😍
Hi. Würde mich über eine Video aus Equatorial Guine freuen. Ist nämlich nicht die gewöhnlichste Reisedestination.
Looks like the same seats as I took on NKG-FRA back in 2011...
A 5* airline with a business class product with absolutely no privacy 😆, anyways nice review 👍👍
soon bro, soon
Hasan 737-8E9 yes the old business class isn‘t the best one but the new business class on the 777X will be awesome
...how can you know that it will be "awesome" is it's not in service yet just some renderings 🤦
Simply Aviation oh sorry
Their first class product I believe does though
I love the shade thrown at 2:06 lol
Basing all the videos I watch between Lufthansa and Turkish Airline, Lufthansa doesnt deserve the 5 Star Rating and so does Turkish Airlines 3 Star. Should be opposite in my opinion..
SJCGaming WestJet has a better business product than Lufthansa in their 787
Lufthansa is not a 5 star airlines whit those seat in business.Good job
I was second, beaten by 6 seconds
This may be a dumb question but keep in mind I have never flown business class before. When you are in the lie flat position do you still have to have your seat belt on?
You should keep your seatbelts fastened while you're seated regardless the position of the seat.
No, you don't. Once the flight is cruising, you don't have to use the seatbelts sitting or lying down. Usually, when there is some turbulence, the fasten seat belt sign might come on our the pilot might make an announcement to wear seat belts.
Generally, they will say keep seat belts on during the whole flight but once at cruising altitude, you don't have to.
Is this flight using 2nd freedom or 5th freedom?
Can you make a trip report for EL AL? Maybe on EL AL's new route Las Vegas-Tel Aviv?
War es einfach ein Visum zu bekommen?
Nice video!
It’s cool
16:17 poor A340! 😢
Hey , will you fly one day to pristina Kosovo is a sich beautiful and Cheap Country. Nice Tripreport by the way 😄.
I am from indonesia.. indonesia mana suaranya..
I have travelled in business class in frankfurt, the fact that teres no bus for business, or the bad priority boarding system is very disapointing
this looks like a really budget biz class
I don’t really like business class of Lufthansa....
same
Like there is basically no privacy.
18:33 ouch😬😬
Did you stay in Malabo (entered Equatorial Guineas customs)? If yes, how is the Visa process for this country?
There're are no transit facilities available in Malabo, you have to comply with all entry regulations... which I did. Visa is easy, just applied at the embassy 😉
Can you make a trip report of Turkish Airlines please ?
Super
Sad to see that Arik Airbus A340-500 in that poor state....the 500's are very rare birds :(
it is there since 2016
Nice video... BTW creme in face creme is spelt cream
please can you review egyptair plz
Turkish airlines or lufthansa?
Turkish have also old cabins!but seriously would rate turkish and lufthansa 4 stars.turkish are renewing their aircrafts.
@@delmonte4824 with those new aircrafts get turkish ne cabins.. like boeing 787-9
I wouldn't consider turkish as 100% fully european airline.turkish is mostly competing with other middle east airlines,due to the geografic location of istanbul for east-west bound passengers and africa from european pax and etc.thats why they need to be competitive with their aircrafts.noone flies to istanbul from frankfurt just to get to paris.check?
but yes,european airlines should improve.
@@yasinonal6524 i completely agree that turkish should rank higher!
@@delmonte4824 yes I think that lufthansa not fit is for 5 star
try ellinair a320/319
Witch Star Alliance gold do you have ? 😏😊
18:43 Is it me, or does it look like the engine scrapes the taxiway?
