Lufthansa - 747 8 - First Class - Frankfurt (FRA) to Chicago (ORD) | TRIP REPORT
Lufthansa's stylish First Class is one of Europe's most adored and exclusive travel experiences.
The fun begins at a private terminal dedicated to First Class passengers, where attendants helped me through a quick security screening. Amenities inside the facility included a restaurant, cigar lounge, showers and bathtubs, hotel rooms, workstations, dozens of newspapers, and a Lufthansa concierge desk. A team of limo drivers takes each passenger from the First Class Terminal directly to their gate.
Being onboard the double-decker 747 Queen of the Skies is a thrill. The First Class cabin is located on the first floor in the nose, where only 8 seats are available in a spacious layout. It's a 14-year-old seat product that doesn't compete well with the Gulf carrier's First Class pods. Starting this year, Lufthansa will replace these aging seats with a new "Allegris" product that features a much larger and fully enclosed suite.
I believe Lufthansa excelled most during the lunch service. The walnut-crusted steak was tender and delicious, and the cheeses offered throughout tasted amazing. I also learned that Lufthansa is the world's largest consumer of caviar, buying about 10 tons annually, which is around 5% of the world's caviar supply.
As the Flag carrier of Germany and Europe's second-largest airline, Lufthansa operates with a level of professionalism, and I noticed crew members taking pride in their positions.

I flew on Canada's newest low-cost carrier from Calgary to Vancouver on its inaugural flight in April 2022. Lynx Air offers a no-frills experience with some of Canada's cheapest airfare prices, which has historically been needed to compete with Air Canada and WestJet's unchecked monopoly. Lynx Air currently has 9 aircraft (all Boeing 737 MAX-8), with plans to order 38 more over the next few yea...

My ticket was initially booked in Economy, but a week before the flight I got an email offering a $900 fee to upgrade on the red-eye flight from New York to Frankfurt.

    I dunno. If a wealthy passenger had a long layover at FRA, it might be worth it. A private place to sleep and great food during the layover. Coming from North America to Africa or former Soviet Central Asia, a passenger can have a huge layover at FRA.

    Thank you for sharing your nice trip. Yes, Lufthansa 747-800 is very to fly on. That was very nice to visit the Lufthansa First Service there in Frankfurt and to have car service to the gate is very nice. You had a great view there in First Class seeing the Delt Airbus take off in front of your flight. And you saw your aircraft in the cloud shadows is interesting. I see your saw Loyola University Main North Campus there in Rogers Park. I live 10 minutes south of that university so, I probably saw your flight fly over my neighborhood.😊 I do miss flying my former airline's 747-400s to Europe. The 747s are so nice fly and many people still like flying First Class on them to there vacations or homes.

    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 UA-cam in the near future!
