First Class Lufthansa & United Airlines... and Driving to Berlin

[miciex]

Brilliant/Lovely video mate !!!!!!!!!!!!

[luvhira]

Thank you for sharing this....Now I want to go to Germany...and 1st class too!!!

[xr6lad]

United is ok 1st class - but the lounge looks like a gulag from Russia. With those fares you think they could afford a slap of paint and some new carpet.

[supertrex2]

whats ur job? I envy u

[tuolumne9]

United First hard product definitely gets underrated! Its actually a great seat!

[GTADriver64]

Have you flown with an Airbus A380 on the return flight?

[Marzipancactus]

In Russian supermarket you bought dairy product, it is not ice cream

[wiggums1]

@Marzipancactus :) My friend told me it's a cheese curd, not ice cream. When I made the video, it was frozen and sweet so I thought it was ice cream. Thanks for the correction!

[mraquinas]

Richy, it's been awhile since your last TR upload, keep them coming buddy....

[chvyant]

You blew 10,000 dollars on your travelling expenses?:D

[diaboliqueguan]

great editing.. and funny too. never trust the hotels stars system here, it is never right or comparable to hotels in asia.

[Alexr197]

Very interesting and insightful, thanks for sharing!

[geizondesign]

Nice movie, congratulations..!

[The881Jeremy]

What Boeing do you take from Orange County to San Francisco.And from SFO To Germany.

[wiggums1]

@The881Jeremy United 778 was on Boeing 737 and the SFO to Germany was on a Boeing 747

[Oceanic180]

I love this...Germany in ten minutes. I hope to visit someday...and probably never in a first class flight.

[ianbrinksman]

God I want your job.

[duncan7599]

God how I hate those poor coach people. Get back to the back of the plane were you poor people belong and stop using my first class bathroom because your shit stinks unlike mine.

[ianbrinksman]

Honest to god, I want your life. What do you do for a living so I can do the same?!?!

[kaninchen321]

where is the first lounge in the video located,that is shown before you board the first flight? Is it IAD?

[wiggums1]

@kaninchen321 The first lounge was SFO. I started in SNA but there's no First Class Lounge in SNA. The UA901 flight went straight from SFO to FRA. IAD does have a very decent First Class Lounge - I know I have it in some of my other videos.

[MEGIDIOT]

Having a car drive you directly to the plane kinda prevents you from feeling the true, vibrant and exciting atmosphere of an airport.

Nevertheless, amazing video. Not too long, not too short.

[jrse96]

when i went in united with lufthansa back in was a 20 thousand dollars trip

[Midnightryder7]

Hope in my next life I'll be lucky as u

[newballin]

Damn how much did all of that cost??

[crit1227]

Wait $20 for a parking ticket :-O

[crit1227]

This is the life. Can't close my mouth. Thanks for taping this. :-)

[omar78966]

Best vid ive seen in a while

[avelecter]

too fast but interesting

[simantov666]

lufthansa deportation class - there is no better way to fly to tel aviv 4 shareholders

[SmoochMonstah]

your life seems a bit more interesting than mine! nice benz to drive around, and having a first class flight. well, i guess that we'll just have to be grateful of what we have. lol.

[alhabbo]

now i can say i've been to Berlin too :)

[simantov666]

@alhabbo LOL-lufthansa deportation class

[TCAS330]

that looked like a nice trip!! The new lufthansa seats are much better than the old ones XD

more privacy this time!!

[tomtiedom111]

why are you so funny

[Billybob5497]

THe part with the "Not Bad" cola was funny

[Billybob5497]

Not bad :D

[bolacka]

HAHA. that was great. I'am from Berlin and it is funny to see how tourists like you think about berlin. ver nice video.

[ns135]

Awesome video. Loved it!

[alexbru]

Excellent video, thank you!

[joshr905]

You weren't kidding about keeping my finger on the pause button!

[msveeveee]

Nice video! I loved the timing :)

[Cabincrewifly]

You're so lucky to go on these trips. I want to do this when im older. I only get to go on Aer Lingus and Ryanair.

[Dhajea]

the german autobahn is fun :) better tahn anywhere else

[LittleDrummer55]

great video, i really enjoyed it !! =) one question though..what is IWA?

[midnightmilo]

lol you seem like a jolly fellow! :)

[DiLassu]

nice video!!!

[Planeboy13]

love the video, great job, clear pictures, funny comments, and ariplanes GREAT JOB! :)

[silvair25]

I envy you wiggums1 (:

[scottisaak]

Lufthansa first class looks a little shicety, but still nice.

[mraquinas]

another job well done sir...

[AFFIXER91]

gr8.... :)

eat hw much as u can...god made this world fo eating...wat we r doin evrything iz fo eating...lol

[JOSHTRUS]

I thought the menu on United Airlines would be a hamburger, fries and doughnuts, washed down with and XXXL Coke. : )

[wiggums1]

@JOSHTRUS In the old days, they did offer cheeseburgers in first class and nobody would order it so I could get seconds, ha ha ha

[Overlord2383]

@wiggums1 i prefer lufthansa better anyways they say that united airways has sometimes bad food and rude flight attendants. were the attendants acting nice to you or rude on united, an was the food better on lufthansa? which do you like better?

[wiggums1]

@Overlord2383 Food was much better on Lufthansa but service and seat are better on United. Sometimes service on United is bad, but this one was very good.

[MegaFcker]

@Overlord2383 This is a real conversation between me and a united fa on den-iad

Me:excuse fa(with the drink cart) can you throw this away

fa:do I look like a trash can boy

[simantov666]

@Overlord2383 better rude flight attendants than al kaida aboard. the european queens on there planes, cant defend an airplane.

[ablair37]

@Overlord2383 if u ever fly internal in greece just go economy im 6"2 and i might of well been 12"4 i had that much leg room and the food was fantastic when i flew athens to london gatwick BA not bad either but the worst flight i have had was thomas cook my ex girlfriends hamster would of wanted extra leg room

[traindc]

united better nice vids 2

[traindc]

lol i hit the mother lode

[traindc]

lol i hi the mother lode

[brioirossi]

cool....

[Superkanolebooster]

lol so happy to be on autobahn xD

[mboz38]

i think united is better than lufthansa! amazing video!

[benneberry]

Lufthansa!

[PHONEIXENTERTAINMENT]

Is Lufthansa first class really better then United?

[wiggums1]

@PHONEIXENTERTAINMENT To be honest, United had much better seats and entertainment. The only good thing about Lufthansa was the First Class Terminal which was way better than United's First Class Lounge (which is now closed). Lufthansa's seats were terrible though, no privacy.

[groyal980]

@wiggums1 United has better lounges, seats, and IFE. It's just that the flight attendants dont smile. :-(

[JehutyIM]

@wiggums1 If you ever decide to give up your job...I would love to have it. I wish i could travel this much and this luxuriously :-)

[mYOzZyKaT]

70 brands of whiskey at the first class lounge...man you could get really hammer if your flight was delayed for a couple of hours...LOL

[wiggums1]

@mYOzZyKaT I don't remember taking the last few minutes of the video :) Good thing camera had image stabilization, ha ha ha

[Standardname187]

Frankfurt is the Best city in Germany!!!

I live there ;)

[laughingspeakers]

Loved the pace of the vid!

[teta809]

I like that lufthansa redesigned their first class which is now on the a380 and it's way more spacious and modern

[wiggums1]

@teta809 I am aware of that.. and they will also do that on their 747s within the next few months. I read that in the Lufthansa magazine last week.

[N700UW]

American 4 Star Hotel vs. European 4 Star Hotel.....HUGE DIFFERENCE

[Xenos117]

@N700UW Depends where in Europe.

[lotsofvideo]

Great video, watched the whole thing without even thinking about it and now I want to go :-)

[747Jumbo1]

Lufthansa First class looked almost the same as buisness! Atleast United's was really nice and there was a difference between buisness and first!

[howyoudoinheybooboo]

First of all let me say, and i hope you reply, but

YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE A DAMN GOOD VIDEO!

i wish people would make videos this nice more often!

[Silver1Sprg]

I understand the 10 minute limit, but perhaps you could have broken this into 2 or 3 segments. I agree with rehabbory01, the clips are just too damn short, cause you really have some absolutely wonderful shots that I'd like to see more of. GREAT VIDEO, just too quick of clips. MORE! MORE! MORE!

[InnGuy]

In Lufthansa First Class, they literally drive you up to the plane?? No going through the security line, the check in line, or any of the other nonsense you'd have to go through if you'd have to go through the airport building?? That IS the stuff right there!! That, on top of everything else included with Lufthansa First Class makes it TOTALLY worth it!!

[wiggums1]

@InnGuy No, there was security there but I was not allowed to film it :) However, once in the First Class Terminal, there is no further inspection from there to the plane even in the limousine.

[jb26508]

You must be a pretty well off guy huh?

[mandalavick]

good video but damn u ate alot haha sorry if language is offensive it looked great though awesome video

[Fuzzxxxcore]

i lold at 0:34

[oneAXLinamillion]

nice video

[0000123452]

Lufthansa is the best! Because of everything the First Class Terminal, Service, Seats

and just....everything!!!!

LUFTHANSA There's no better way to fly!

[omiplayer]

@0000123452 there is a better way to fly.......swiss 

[simantov666]

@omiplayer für juden gibts die lufthansa deportation class

[KevinDR1987]

@0000123452 They should really change that to: "Lufthansa there's no better way to fly! As long as it's not economy!" I have so far always flown (all international flights) in economy and out of 5 airlines that I have flown with Lufthansa economy has always been the worst with a close second of US Airways. But everyone else I know says there the best (excluding the Asian airlines) but they have always flown business or first class never economy. I guess there is a big difference if you pay more

[wiggums1]

@KevinDR1987 To be honest, I preferred United's First Class, much more privacy. The only good thing about Lufthansa is the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt - the best in the world. Lufthansa's First Class seat is not impressive and I'd give it 2 stars out of 5 when I compare it to other First Class Products.

[jainamshah007]

@KevinDR1987 even in first asian airlines are better

[SeYoNoYeS]

@0000123452 Their not bad but Quatar and Singapore are a couple of cuts above in my . Except perhaps for the first class lounge on FRA then...But then again, the lounges on Doha Int and Changi is pretty f----n good to.But o Lufthansa´s credit one should mention they´ve never crashed and thats really something after almost 70 years as a global operator.

[HSDDTS]

Love your reactions to what you are doing through this video! 10/10

[MarcusLeepapi]

Seem like you had a great couple of flights..... Yes, I agree with the First Class Lounge by Lufthansa.. They have very nice items.... I do like the car service to the right along side your plane home. Yes, since one does pay for first class service, that is what you can see for service..... Great....

[gvt2u]

One of the best videos ever on YouTube.

[justinnate82]

very nice video man.

[hugojimenez]

Really nice trip report!

[bigboibkyln]

Dude you are hilarious with the faces!! Awesome video buy the way!

[TheAark]

great video

great quality

great youtube name

[usair97]

At 7:09 was that a concentration camp?

[wiggums1]

@usair97 No, it was the old part of the city which was walled.

[energytill]

Cool Video!

But somehow you get the impression that it is still East and West

Berlin .. and the city is certainly not proud, to have been once divided! I hope you enjoyed Germany ;)

[Planeboy13]

i love this man!!! i wish youtube couldve let u had it longer, u are so lucky!!! VERYY NICE VIDEO MAN!

[lesunder]

gee there was someone next to you in first class on LH???? Thats horrible, the flight costs like 10000€ and theres some bloke sleeping next to you. United seems far better (as you stated).

[Vorash2002]

Im assuming that you paid for the first class tickets, or were you one of the lucky ones that got an upgrade? I always ask for an upgrade, but they always say no. Lol

[meisself]

Very entertaining and say 12 mins as seems to be possible now and with no additional thingies would have been ideal. But anyhow with what was possible then a great little video!

[Sfgiantsfan928]

dam ur hella rich lucky basered

[chuckmcbucky]

Good video :) United First Class :D

[Intercity1985]

10 minutes of great entertainment!

Thanks!

[chaikaikit]

nice camera!!!

[rehabboy01]

I love youre video (about germany) trip. A little fast for my taste esp. on an english subtitles, BUT i love on how you confused on the booze - and food ( a little, again too fast) but great video. Cheers!

[wiggums1]

@rehabboy01 There was a 10-minute limit! I've learned how to move things around and still cram it all in. It's all about art... that I have never learned! :)

[floresed]

2:58 WTF!!!! LOL!!!  Germans and their tolerance for sexuality :)

[frank887766]

Very good video! Greatings, Frank from Bavaria

[NordensDoedsengel]

haha ... min 07:44 - typically German

[Midnightryder7]

I lived in frankfurt Germany back when i was 15 yrs old...Took my Dads Mercedes out on the Autobond and wrecked it..Next morning my father started to call me Mercedes..(to rub it in my face)..Been going by that nickname ever since..I'm now 45 yrs old

[wiggums1]

@Midnightryder7 I sure don't blame him.. nobody would ever forget a wrecked Benz! :)

[smartkid1985]

I don't like the LOOKS of Lufthansa's First Class. It looks too much like the Business and Economy classes.

[wiggums1]

@smartkid1985 You're correct - I was not impressed with Lufthansa's seat. However, the First Class lounge kind of made up for it.

[smartkid1985]

Yes, that would have changed my mind too.

[koochy79]

Honestly United is usually the best when it comes to First Class, and even their business class product.

[wiggums1]

I do agree here.. you get your own pod and you don't have to look at somebody else when sleeping. I also liked the new entertainment center, the games kept me occupied for hours!

[koochy79]

@wiggums1 oh and not that I don't love the upper deck (As a fmr UAL f/a I loved working it) but Lufthansa has all their f/c upstairs...so it's like they are saying "screw you if you are handicapped and can't climb stairs" (guess the handicapped aren't part of the "Supreme race" either...haha JUST KIDDING!!!

[wiggums1]

Ah, I loved that! :) Yes, having to go up the stairs was annoying! I like being way up front where I can almost see the front end of the plane and what's going on up front.

[TheThekuwait]

waaaaaaw

nice

thank u

[mundy31]

cool ,original ,interesting,productive!!!! five stars!!!

[JUKIO01]

the business class is weird ive flown it in, dont know why the chairs are facing the other way like that.

[JUKIO01]

i fly first class all the time, my dad works for united. i have a hell of a lot sinority too. im so used to flying it, i get tired of it somtimes

[maple841]

Someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

[jimmah55555]

0:32 LOL !!!!

[sebh999]

Very cool video.

[australoameribelge03]

the complaint is priceless!!! =]

great vid 5 stars..

[JETT721]

Cool vid. I went to Germany with Lufthansa and United too, but not in First Class.

[vikma4]

Thank you very much for the amusing video! I am a frequent flyer of LOT Polish Airlines but have yet to try Lufthansa!

[19bootsy68]

Fantastic you are a funny man and i think the only thing you said was "Not Bad" when trying that cola brand in this video.

Thank you for unloading.

[willyboi708]

TOO FUNNY!!! I love your facial expressions, would love to travel along!!!

[Mauke76]

Stasi = Street Police???????? How told you this? Absolut not right!

[wiggums1]

I did not say "street police" - I said "secret police."

[koochy79]

Thanks for the wonderful Photos...esp of Berlin....As a former UAL Flight Attendant, I am surprised at how well they have upgraded their First Class Product.... very nice! Definately better than all of the other US Carriers...

[FATALMAMUKA]

dude the ice cream you ate is actually a cheese. lol

[zachhiboy]

WOW! That was an excellent and entertaining video! :D 5/5 Stars, but how much did it cost for the First-Class suite? Best deal I saw was 18,000 for round-trip. o.o Anyway nice vid!!! :D

[wiggums1]

I am still seeing fares for $11,000. If you do Thursday to Thursday, it's about $9,000.

[bewalker123]

wow, thats alot to take in at a time of 10 mintues

[MrIranzamin]

hey Canadian I like your trick

[funnorthwestboy]

Thanks for posting - please post more. I'm flying Lufthansa soon.

[cloud1366]

[musclefan]

I hope you come be happy for my nice comments to you from me!=)

Greeting TheCARRE74=)

[wiggums1]

Thank you very much, I am very happy to hear you liked the video :)

[sacdude20]

I have a question for you...this will be the first time I'll fly first class internationally (i'm not lucky enough to have a company who pays for my flights!) and I'll be flying with another person. I'm not a big fan of the mini-rooms on United and most other airlines (except SIA's suite) and I like the big open space of Luftansa's set up.

My question is do the seats really fold flat? Or is it more reclined than anything else?

[wiggums1]

Elementary, my dear...

1) Food tends to be creative... the duck marinated in pomergranite sauce

2) It's not just the meals, there's the company, the drinks, the indulgence

3) Again, it's not only the tasteful meal

4) Combined with other factors, a great trip!

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology and dinning:

(1) What is the fun and enjoyment to dinning on aeroplane?

(2) Why do we feel that meals on aeroplanes are so interesting and special?

(3) How does a tasteful meal on aeroplane make us feel good for flying?

(4) What kinds of nice memory does the taste recall/inspire you?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

[wiggums1]

In my defence, mate, it was work-related for the most part. :)

[ilya150]

What do you do for a living? Looks interesting....

[wiggums1]

That time, I was working as Marketing Coordinator. We had several projects to finish at the IWA conference in Nürnberg. I now work as a Marketing Manager.

[ilya150]

Do your own homework....

[applesweeter]

No, but I hope you can give me some insight, please.

[tickleguy25]

2:04 so FRANKFURT :)

"Wir bitten um Ihre Aufmerksamkeit"

great video. thanks for sharing

[homer3152]

Very nice video..a bit pcaked with short scenes, but it isalways a compromise. I like your inflight vids as well..a bit similar to mine..loads of menues, food, and - I admit - in my case wine tasting:) They are almost all about Emirates, also their lounges. Have a look in case you are interested. And come back to Germany - you will be wellcome:)

[wiggums1]

I liked your video! :) I am no wine taster, but I do know a lot about vodka. The only for people like me is the Pravda Bar in Frankfurt. I know my video was a bit packed, but I was trying to fit in the 10-minute rule. However, i just made one for my trip through Eastern Europe and I hope I did better...

[KevinDR1987]

Yea the hotel star system doesn't really mean anything in Germany.

That tunnel you drove through on the way back to Frankfurt is where I used to live.

Any job openings at your work? I love traveling (not in economy class though).

[wiggums1]

The big project is over so I am done with that company. The next few trips are to Saudi Arabia and it's already a real hassle to get a visa!

[HermannManfredo]

your flight was more awesome than your trip to this xxx town...

[matsharma]

wow...really love your video

try london sometime..

[wiggums1]

I am planning on that sometimes in the summer - and I am definitely going to put it on YouTube. Thanks! :)

[hallo0160]

good video- perhaps a little bit too much cuts-

i'm living in frankfurt- it's very big, not only for a one day trip-do you went up the towers?The Television Tower (Fernsehturm) is quite high and has a good livt/elevator- you see only the high on a display but you don't realy feel it and on the top at the rastaurant you have a wonderful view over Frankfurt.The first class terminal in Frankfurt is quite big- also with bathrooms with "rain showers".

In Berlin you saw the most important things.

[wiggums1]

I wish I had the time to drive around in Frankfurt, but it was a business trip. I know about the TV Tower in FRA. I see it all the time when I am there, but I never have the time to come up and view the city of Frankfurt!

Yes, I know - a bit too much cuts. I got the same complaint! :) Will try not to do that the next time I am there.

[jimmyfb93]

wow...hey i reallly love your video.......you show what everyone want to see.....lol....and you are so funny....tell me how much did you spend in that ticket .........and which one is better for you.....united or...lufthansa???

[wiggums1]

I am glad you enjoyed it. I do not know how much my ticket was - the company paid for it. I prefer United's seat. Lufthansa has better food....

[MoxleyMauser]

Neat Video, thanks for posting.

[wiggums1]

:) I am glad you liked it.

I will be doing Asia in a few months frow now. Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, Seoul, and Taipei.

[dakar8993]

Excellent work - look forward to checking out your other videos too. I am a One World alliance flyer, so it's nice to see other F products. Well done.

[Batulao83]

We went to the same place from Potsdam to Berlin. East Germany needs a lot of catching up to do with West Germany or eastern europe with western europe. I had the best ride next to a cockpit, first class at KLM, super service when I went to school in Holland sponsored by the Dutch government, I think Holland or the Netherlands is the best place to see next to Italy, especially during spring time.

[wiggums1]

The former East Germany is still being repaired. I just can't believe it's been 10 20 years since the wall came down, and they're still working on it! KLM's a great airline, I've heard about it, but never rode on it. I have been to Amsterdam, didn't like it - my car was broken in twice and crime has gotten pretty bad in the past few years.
