  • And, becuase I'm part of a lot of frequent flyer programs, sometimes I can upgrade to first with points! But sometimes even that is very expensive if it's at the airport.

  • @StarTrekRocks100 Nice! thanks.

  • seat 3A was my seat when i was traveling to Chicago!

  • @654321825 Excellent! It's a nice seat, I thought.

  • Same. It's always for work though. The good part is, my company pays for it.

  • @StarTrekRocks100 Exactly. Business class is better when it's free.

  • Do you travel that often?

  • @StarTrekRocks100 dude, I travel 2-3 times per month! once a month would be a luxury!

  • Thanks man. I look forward to more of your videos if you are going to still be making them. I may make some of my own in the near future.

  • @StarTrekRocks100 Thank you for the nice comment. I will do 1 per month!

  • I actually sat in the same seat as you on the same plane when I went from Boston to Munich. And, I actually really didn't have a problem when I was sleeping. I didn't slip too much. By the way, I totally agree with you, Lufthansa is the best, great food and service. I always try to fly them when I can.

  • @StarTrekRocks100 Thank you for the wonderful comment!

  • Isn't it good though? If planes fly angled upward to stay at a specific altitude, wouldn't it be better so that it almost is like a lie-flat? Maybe that's what they were going for...!

  • @mjk0123456789 Maybe! Good point, I had not thought of that, but you're right. The plane is a little tilted upwards.

  • will slide off while sleeping in these angled seats?

  • @returnofthekingxd Yes, you will, but slowly. It can be annoying no question. they have a foot stop, so it's not so bad.

  • you have some great video's!! keep making them!!

  • @airsoftmaniac17 Thank you very much! You're too kind!

  • was ist a a340-300 or a340-600?

    

  • @freekymichy This flight was the A340-600

  • What Counntry Is Munich In ?

  • @crumadonis Deutschland!

  • Thanks a lot for sharing your flight adventures with us! I have always asked me why you did not show any pictures of United Club in Part G of International Terminal... Now I know why... LH should really start building a kind of Tower Lounge in SFO ;-)

  • @0Andi3579 Yes, I have shown photos of the Unitd club on my business class trip report to Rome. Tower lounge is nice right? Thanks for your comment.

  • @sfflyer123 Tower Lounge is great. Had to spend there three hours before my flight to SFO with UA which was honestly far better than expected and equal - or even little better - than LH Business.

  • @0Andi3579 I agree. I think the lie-flat seat on UA is much nicer. Also, the AVOD on UA has a much bigger screen, and it's more "luxurious" than LH's. However, LH has better food for the most part, but I think the UA seat is overall better.

    Thanks

  • @sfflyer123 I personally did not enjoyed the food on LH as much as I did on UA. The meal on UA was overall very delicious. I still remember the Filet and it is already nearly one month ago while the LH food was just... normal. The VOD system on UA is far superior to LH as it provides far more movies and especially TV series then LH (Simpsons, How I met your Mother, etc)

  • @0Andi3579 Great input! Thank you!

  • That women at 0:31, was too busy with her phone, REDICULOUS!

  • @DJSFV12 Yes, pretty funny, wasn't it?

  • @DJSFV12 Those people from nowadays... (-_-)

    Unbelievable! On bicycles, cars, even in a toilet!

  • That was a nice clear day in HKG, October of last year I couldn't see much upon take off.  Nice videos!

  • @bark615 Thank you for your nice comment. Yes, I was lucky with the visibility!

  • When is your next video??????

  • @mjk0123456789 In about 2 weeks. I try to upload one per month!

  • You have the best vids i love them! I travel alot too so it you remind me of it

  • @MattSk8er102 thank you very much for your kind words. I appreciate the comment!

  • I love your videos! They remind of me of my travelling days, please continue with them.

  • @gryffindorhouse122 Thank you for your kind words!

  • Southwest had a crash, it went off of the runway. LH is soooo #1!

  • @mjk0123456789 Thanks. Yeah, that over run of the runway was a long time ago, wasn't it?

  • which american airline do you belive is the safest?

  • @panathare100 I looked up the statistics the other day. The airline with zero fataities is southwest airlines. Keep in mind that Air Tran (which also has zero), is actually ValuJet re-branded. Of course, valu-jet was one of deadliest airlines in history, but when they got a new brand, they got a new slates. Of course, all US airlines are incredibly safe, no question.

  • very nice video man keep it up

  • @510mexicana Thank you! That is very kind of you.

  • i think the reasen why the reverse thrusters opened late was because the plane maybe landed at a high angle and planes don't uaually open reverse thrusters at a high angle

  • @qantaspilot95 Good point! What happens if they open at a high angle? Does the nose drop down too quickly?

  • @sfflyer123 probally does and thats bad for the nose wheel it could collapse

  • @sfflyer123 ever flown economy class before?

  • @Josharazzi LOL! MOST of my travel is in economy! I only film my business/first class travel though because it's so rare! I normally am in economy about 90% of the time, which I don't film! Thanks.

  • Great report! You cant go wrong with LH, but the seat in C definitively is lagging behind the competition by now. The angled seat is way too uncomfortable...

    Thanks!

  • @loalq2 Thank you. I agree with you that the angled C is not as nice as a true lie-flat. Hopefully, they will re-vamp it. It's kind of ironic how UA is now ahead of LH in business class seating. LH still beats UA with regards to food & service, but the seat and AVOD are better on UA. Thanks for the comment.

  • Try flying KLM, I'm not a big fan but it's nice to try

  • @mjk0123456789 Thanks. One day, I will try it!

  • Your videos are the best, you should make more, also, since you were in the front row, the tv was smaller, but if there is a seat in front of you, it's normally bigger!

  • @mjk0123456789 Thank you very much for your nice comment. Yes, hopefully the screens are bigger when they are closer!

  • these are amazing videos... can you please make more? Thanks!!!

  • @rrrrrrtt1 Thank you very much! I will try to make one every month!

  • @maxRAFavfc Thank you very much! You are too kind.

  • I fly frequently to München on Lufthansa and they create the best product, but the cabin crew could be nicer. Also, and airberlin, they give you amenity kits in economy class, only on night flights, which is good, but the bags smelled funny!

  • @mjk0123456789 Thank you. Yes, I agree with you that LH has a great product. I have never flown Air Berlin, but perhaps one day I will. Thank you for the comment!

  • Was it the A340-600 or the A340-300?

  • @mjk0123456789 I am pretty sure this was the 600. The engines were much bigger than the 300.

  • I took that plane to München too, but I was in economy, and the plane left from New York, JFK International. Economy gave us big televisions in each seat, and it's the only airline that has great plane food!

  • @mjk0123456789 Yes, the A340 by LH is very nice. I flew economy twice SFO-MUC. It was painful, but LH made it very nice! Thanks.

  • @mjk0123456789

    I am happy to hear that they serve good food at transatlantic/long-houl flights. On inter-European routes I was usually served with a cold sandwich. When flying with Air Malta (MUC-MLA) I got a normal dinner, similar route with Lufthansa (MLA-FRA) meant receiving just a small 'chicken wrap'.

  • What do you do and how can I also do it?!??! I need to travel like this.

  • @ianbrinksman Consulting! check out my homepage!

  • @sfflyer123 God, will do. What's the URL? Also, great videos -- I have been obsessively wishing for your life after watching them.

  • @ianbrinksman Thanks for your kind words. Just click my name on youtube, and it pulls up my youtube homepage. That's the only home page I have! Thanks.

  • then check in again for another Lufthansa's flight..................

  • Can you please tell me how to get an upgrade???

  • @marioslicer8 Use those miles!

  • Great video! Tnx!

    Too bad that Lufthansa business tkt is almost twice the price of others business class (at least in Brazil).

  • @tulioleal Thank you. Yes, that is too bad. Sometimes LH is quite cheap, and sometimes it is insanely expensive!

  • i'm planing to re-create this flight  with my Flight Simulator..........

  • @wisnu1231 Great. Please let me know how it goes when you are finished?

  • @sfflyer123 the landing was bounced...............lol

  • So when are u going to make another video,u one,I love seeing ur video!!

  • @cheerfulboy01 Thank you for your nice comment! I try to make a video once a month!

  • You hit the nail on the head yet again. Great video cannot wait for your next one. Do they have true lie flats in First Class or is it like that

  • @MrMessinosta Thank you for those kind words. Yes, the first class has true lie flats. I just posted my video of first class on LH in first class. If you search my "uploads", you will see it. It is from MUC-SFO in first. Great product!

  • Great trip report! Lufthansa business class will be awesome once they introduce their new business class product with full flat seats later in the year. :)

  • @ncfo20 Thank you very much for your comment. I did not know that the new C will come out later this year. Too bad they didn't put the new C on their new A380. Thanks for the comment.

  • Nice video. Can you tell me what software you use to put the text into the video?

  • @ks89991 Thank you for the nice words. I just use windows movie maker that comes free with microsoft windows! Thanks.

  • nice flight!

  • @TheHitesh2000 Thank you for the nice comment!

  • 0:37 (Y)

  • @curlowl Yes, that is funny! What does "(Y)" mean?

  • @sfflyer123 thumbs up (;

  • @curlowl interesting. never knew that one!

  • @quwers haha I was thinking the same thing

  • Healthy pudding, unhealthy breakfast. Might as well be have the unhealthy pudding.

  • Great video! Do agree that LH Business is good. For me, I would trade in the angle bed to the unedible and bad service you get normally with UA. Comparing both my experience in First and Business on either, LH wins hands down. As for the mouthwash, I do not think that it is unhygienic as you are suppose to pour a bit into the cups provided and mix it with water. SQ is another major airline that has such mouthwashes in their bathroom. It is after all concentrated mouthwash!

  • @nldogbert These are great points. I think overall, LH is definitely a better product--better food and better service than UA. However, the lie-flats on UA beat the LH angled seats if you are a side sleeper. H first blows UA first out of the water. There is no comparison, I agree with you. As long as people don't drink directly from the mouthwash bottle! Thanks for your comment!

  • Nice trip report, thanks for filming and sharing it. Perhaps LH have spotted your previous reports and wondered how you'd fill the time without a printed menu to show!

  • @so3003 Thanks for the nice words. Yeah, maybe they wanted to make the trip reports shorter, so they stopped printing menus for me!! Thanks.

  • Cool video.. Flew Business between Bogotá and Frankfurt also on a A346 and food and service was great.. i have to agree on that..

    Strage thing you didnt get any printed menus.. i did.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • @sgkhcol Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I was surprised about the menu thing. The menus' take up a good 1-2 minutes on my video trip reports!! Oh well, maybe next time! Thanks for your comment.

  • Yet again another outstanding video. Keep up the great work, I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos.

  • @jonsie1083 Thank you very much. That's very kind of you.

  • I saw your a.net account that's named sfflyer123 too and your trip reports are really nice! saw a TR about this flight there

  • @SRQKEF Thank you for noticing! Yes, a.net is nice, right?

  • @sfflyer123 the best aviation page on the internet! Photos and forums

  • Absolutely love your vids!! It didn't look like you visited the lounge on the way out from SF :>(

  • @bigworld3001 Good pick up! Yeah, I went to the lounge, but I didn't film it. It's the red carpet club, and so many of my videos shows the RCC that I thought it would just be boring. It's the same old RCC as in the other videos, same old food & drink, so I didn't include it this time. Thanks for your comment!

  • Just wondering.. What are you working as/with that makes you able fly so much?

  • @19karlus93 consulting. my company pays for all these flights!

  • @sfflyer123 How often do you get to travel outside of the U.S?

  • @19karlus93 about 4 times per year.

  • @CO738ify Yes, some use women's voices, but I've noticed a few that use men. But it's a good pick up on your part! Thanks. It was a business trip, so I traveled solo this time!

  • @sfflyer123 and, is your previous videos are family trip?

  • @wisnu1231 Nope. Business.

  • Great video report as usual! Just a point of clarification however, in many of your videos you use the term 'reverse thrusters'. The Space Shuttle has 'reverse thrusters' (as in a small rocket thruster used in maintaining a particular attitude or velocity in space flight), but airplanes have 'thrust reversers'. A slight difference in wording, certainly, but a large difference in meaning! Anyways, my nit pick is over. Keep up the great work!

  • @tubadevil tuba, thank you so much for your insight! I did not know this at all, and it is great to know this distinction. I appreciate your comment and the knowledge!

  • well, normaly they have menus, it´s like you just said, "strange"

  • @TCAS330 Yeah, that's what I would have though. I was surprised when they had no drink or dinner menu. thanks for the comment.

  • Very nice...thanks again. (Mouth wash thingy was unnerving)

  • @TheAviator365 Thank you for the kind words. Yes, you'd think people would just throw away the botle after they were done with it instead of let the next person use it.

  • Nice video.I flew LH A346 one time to CAN and MNL in august 2006 when missed connection to BKK on TG in FRA. They had toilet in downstairs in eco class. 1st class was so luxury so biz class was fine and better view of engine.

  • @pbateson yes, that downstairs bathroom area is so nice, isn't it? it makes it feel almost like a nice rest area away from the seats. thank you for the comment!

  • great video. nice job again!

  • @iantolee Thank you!

  • (cont.) wash! Passengers are returning the bottle after taking a swig?!?! Yikes. I love the detail of your reports. Thanks so much!

  • @sfdavid1 Yeah, it seems that way because i didn't see any cups for the mouthwash!! thank you for the kind words.

  • Great video and you are right about the mouth

  • @sfdavid1 Thank you!

  • Hey by the way, thanks for not only reading our comments, but responding to them as well, we know its tedious and a chore, but we greatly appreciate that as well as the videos.

  • @Jonesman08 Thank you! That's very kind of you to say. 

  • perfect video as always, keep up the good work ;)

  • @NCarolinapanthers Thank you for your kind words, and thanks for watching!

  • this is a great report.. I am in 3H in a few weeks and been dying to see how the relation of the bulkhead is to the seat.. Thanks!

  • @jumbojetla Fantastic! That's great. You will have a great time. I hope you enjoy it!

  • that buiesness class was pretty good...i cant imagine how nice first class was

  • @kenzie0908000 Thank you! Yes, you can see my first class trip report on Lufthansa. I just did one about 8 weeks ago from the reverse direction: MUC-SFO. If you check under my other videos, you will what the first class experience is like. Thanks.

  • yeah, sometimes when I look up on a clear skied day, I see up to 25 planes flying here over! Last time I flew over here without this being my final destination was an BA flight from Phoenix to London, I woke up, looked out the window and saw Vestman Islands, south of Iceland (still a part of Iceland, my dads family are from Vestmannaeyjar)

  • @DjMOSA Thanks very much.

  • and your right about the reverse thrust, they usually open sooner. don't know why it didn't open, maybe it wasn't needed?

  • @SRQKEF Yes, maybe. Interesting, right? Thanks for the comment.

  • you flew over my home country, Iceland! excellent video!

  • @SRQKEF Thank you. It seems like most west coast to europe flights fly over iceland. I am not sure if the east coast to europe flights take such a northern path, though. Thanks for the nice comment.

  • Excellent video!!!!

  • @LEEP1948 Thank you!

  • Every time I think again That I'm smart That I subscribe to you!

    Great video As usually. I hope That lufthansa will change theres business class seats///

  • @UncleBigShot Thank you for the nice words. Yes, hopefully, LH will have true lie-flat seats one day in their business class. It would be incredibly expensive for the airline to change all those seats, however. I am sure it will happen one day, though.

  • Another perfect video!

  • @Aviationlover98 Thank you very much!

  • Great video again..with your "brand" way to tell a story through the scripts..love it! The seats are a disgrace for my flag carrier, I admit. Just back myself from a LH flight..did not know about the "bathroom secret"..might spend some time there on my next flight:)

  • @homer3152 Thank you, great homer. Yes, the angled C seats are definitely not the best. It was also strange that we had no menu in business class. I am not sure if that's the way LH always is or if it was specifically just this flight alone. Let me know when you do the FCT trip from FRA!

  • @sfflyer123 The menue problem must have been specific to this flight..it is not normal on LH. Just back from the FCT trip..was the only one in F. Service below my expectations..pampering factor disappointing. But brand new V8 Porsche Cayenne and its "roar" on trip to plane was sensational..and a very nice drive who did a detour with me through a tunnel to let me feel and hear the power..looved it.

  • @homer3152 That is great, homer, that you did not get the mini-van like I did. If you found the pampering factor on LH disappointing, I can only imagine what Emirates is like! I will have to try it one day, if I ever get the chance. I will look forward to your video trip report!!

  • @sfflyer123 Oh, btw: thanks again for the tip to avoid the mini van..so i did a special request at check in:)

  • @homer3152 homer, that is great to hear that you did not get the mini-van. I will fly LH F through FRA FCT again this fall, and I will do what you did: special request no mini-van. Good idea. Thanks.

  • another excellent video! 

  • @brasildude1 Thank you!

  • Nice video. (check the spelling of view in the bathroom scene).

  • @radbcc Thank you! Yes, I caught that spelling error after I published the video. I just takes so long to re-do the whole video that I just left it. But good eye that you caught it!

  • Brilliant - as ever! Looks like it was very nice flight. Lovely food aswell. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next video!

  • @craiglsimons Thank you very much!  Thanks for the comment.

  • Ja, mir kam die schubumkehr auch recht spät vor. Wäre mal interessant warum.

  • @hungryle Danke für den Kommentar. Ich bin damit einverstanden, dass das Reverse Triebwerke spät schien. Ich habe Google Translator Deutsch zu schreiben. Ich spreche kein Deutsch, aber! Vielen Dank!

  • Great video as always! Its a first for you to film the bathroom (unless I missed it) :D

  • @m3andchip5 Thank you! I filmed the bathroom once on the LH MUC-SFO first class trip. I films the bathroom on the ground. I also filmed the bathroom on my SQ SFO-HKG trip in business. Thanks for the comment!

  • Very awesome.

  • @dodginthis Thanks!

  • love your videos.

  • @NobbyKNobbs Thank you!

  • Outstanding once again sfflyer, my videos i did from my flight with Qatar to Bangkok via Doha i have the bathroom window view as well, one thing that you and the Great Homer will always beat me on is the food and drink you superstars can consume during a flight, the food with Qatar was amazing but i don't eat much as you will see when i have the time to upload it all...with a bit look it should all be uploaded by next month as im very busy at work...no rest for the wicked even when jet lagged ;)

  • @19bootsy68 Thank you for the nice comment, bootsy. Many times, I order the food and don't finish it, if I am stuffed. I feel like it's so rare for me to be in business class that I want to really see what they have, even if I just have a taste. I am looking for your trip report! I heard that Qatar is pretty amazing. Thanks for the comment!

  • love the bathroom haha lol

  • @McTim123 Yeah, isn't it cool to have a window in the bathroom?

  • A340-600
