Lufthansa Boeing 747 Take Off Los Angeles (LAX) to Frankfurt (FRA)

[artur4467]

u cant see anything in ground lol. big wing

[JIMBOSKI58]

Have flown non-stop to paris and london from LAX. Does anybody know why the jets furn counter clockwise or southerly instead of clockwise or northerly in the direction of Western Europe??? Seems like a lot of wasted gas turning southerly first instead or northerly.

[mulleops]

How long was this flight

[Kalvin40]

Going to a better place

[punschrus]

Look at the smog.

[seasonsxoxo]

love this, especially the view of the pacific ocean@

[ConorandEmma]

it would be nice to see how big the inside of the plane was!

was there much leg room? how many isles in that international flight?

[hindflight]

Its always beautiful taking off out of LAX! FYI, the planes going East always turn South then break East because they always take off to the West. 

[Gabrielg787]

This plane looks new. No stains on the wing yet.

[ramprashad29]

very attractive looking wing....listen to those monster engines go.............i love u my precious poopsie 747....

[amazingwave]

taking off from that airport in about a day

[GameShowGuy]

Beautiful view of the ocean.

[gmanist1000]

man that's a long flight

[LTU932]

Which row was it? I'm flying on a 747 very soon and chances are that I may stay with row 36.

[TheDreamConnection]

@LTU932 row 29, an additional economy row in the rear business class cabin / Reihe 29, war eine zusätzliche Economy-Reihe in der hinteren Business-Class-Kabine

[LTU932]

@TheDreamConnection OK. Ich weiß nicht, welche Konfiguration mein 747-Flug haben wird (es ist auf jeden Fall LH 499 MEX-FRA), aber laut dem Flugplan bin ich vorerst auf Reihe 36 gesetzt. Ich bin jedoch am Überlegen, ob ist das zumindest in Sitz 36A oder 36K ändere, da ich auf Sitz 36H gebucht bin (ein Gangplatz). Aber das bespreche ich mit dem Leuten am Gateschalter in MEX (ich muss zuvor mit Mexicana aus SJO nach MEX fliegen).

[sniperkillzzzzzzzzzz]

try and see if you can switch to a 777 those planes are very roomy and fly faster.

[LTU932]

@sniperkillzzzzzzzzzz Lufthansa does not operate the 777. Plus I never flew on a 747 before in my life, so the inconvenience with the seatpich may be worth it for me nonetheless.

[sniperkillzzzzzzzzzz]

oh i didnt know you were with Lufthamsa. see if you can get an a340-600

[LTU932]

@sniperkillzzzzzzzzzz LH isn't flying the A340-600 between MEX and FRA. Besides, people say the A340-600 is even more cramped than the 747. Thanks, but like I said, even with the inconvenience of 3-4-3 and the bad seat pitch, I'm fine flying on a 747.

[sniperkillzzzzzzzzzz]

switch airlines? use Air France. wait are you going to france of does FRA stand for Frankfort

[LTU932]

@sniperkillzzzzzzzzzz FRA is Frankfurt, plus I'm taking LH because of the excellent connection to my final destination, Hamburg (HAM).

[sniperkillzzzzzzzzzz]

ohhh

[Krulle27]

After take-off, you flew south, did the plane make a massive left break after a while?

[TheDreamConnection]

yeah, the plane turned east just southwest of Long Beach

[Krulle27]

Cool!!! Great vid, amazing vid in fact!!!! Thanx!

[tomyabc111]

It's beautiful LA (los angeles) ? because i want to travel !!!

[MightyMadMax1]

[ca4freaks]

[airlinepilotdude]

[whoiszizou]

[AlexisS1985]

the best view on the ocean ! :)

[Hediye]

Very nicely filmed!

[mhcblues22]

I've done that flight numerous times and it is hell.

[Juliansworld]

How many hours is that flight ?

[DRIFTking95M]

About 13 to 14 hours :D

Next year I will fly to LA too from Frankfurt, but I don`t want to think on that flight, just on the landing in LA!

[soybomb2345]

Why?

[mhcblues22]

because its soo long

[soybomb2345]

ohhhhhhhhh.

[gmatar]

i flew with the same plane december 2007..and will soon fly in october 2009

[eemontero]

Precioso el vídeo! Muy buenas tomas y se logra apreciar todo el movimiento de los flaps de dirección del avión.

[1361811debout]

[sendraboot77]

That's a nice piece of video! Thank you!

[filipinoboy147]

[Juliansworld]

Putanganamo!!!!! Mahalkita. Sabiko, itana. Game KNB...game na, babalik ako,budding, sabinya

Hiiiiindi!!! oo . Sorry, I just have tagalog going thru my mind after living with a filipino family for 2 years

[PrEtTyGeRiSr90]

Ok thats odd from LAX to FRA and the aircraft is going down south! what an odd route hh its like when i flew from TLV to SXF (tel-aviv-berlin) and the aircraft started flying south towards egypt and flew back up north!

[sfmmtnmaniac]

Sebby 4 SID to SLI then northeast to DAG

[thumbun]

Standard departure for traffic, east and northeast is to turn south and then east/northeast; usually flying just to the south of Long Beach.

Flights to SFO, SEA, etc. and Asia usually fly runway heading and then turn the northwest -- passing over Ventura and Santa Barbara.

[mbjl1758]

I'm on this flight in a few weeks. any recommendations?

[butterflykizzer123]

very nice view

[petexfree]

How many hours to Frankfurt?

[risewiththelive1]

It's about 12 hours..

[richardds9]

How exactly does this qualify as "crazy"? It's a normal takeoff on a jumbo jet.

[PurpleElephantFilms]

wow thats pretty crazy! =D

[amin654]

i take this flight to frankfurt 4 times a year. great route that lufthansas uses very calm and enjoyable. if only theree service was a little better.

[fafakuk]

I'v flied twice with ja jumbojet, and it is cool at the takoff :D

[chavitavb]

I dream to Go on this plane one day

[irkutsk777]

Taking off from runway 24L, and making left turn called "Loop 4" Heading direction 243 degrees, first turn at 1500 feet second at 3000 feet third one may very by ATC. Some would go around Long Beach, some would pass LAX not less then 10000 feet. All of this also may very by aircraft type and flight directions.For example Aeroflot 767-300 making first right turn at 6000 feet.

[wwerule5ismyhero]

dude on mar. 15 im goin lax-den-bwi for my 8th grade class trip but im terrified of ocean flying

[umahuma4]

flying is accualy SAFER then driving, youll be fine, just relax and enjoy the flight.

[MrCrazyfucker123]

@umahuma4 I hate it when people say this. Statistically its safer meaning less lives are lost on air planes than cars. But if something really bad goes wrong in a car just limp it on the shoulder or to a parking lot and get it towed. If something goes really bad when your in a metal tube 30,000 feet in the air.... your all dead no matter what.

[DenisKomment]

@umahuma4 it is SAFER only statistically, you may break all your limbs in a car accident and be ok in a year but you have no chance of recovering after falling from 30.000 feet ) I always take a car or travel by train where possible instead of flying )

[MVPSSY]

@umahuma4 AMEN!

[wwerule5ismyhero]

dude on mar. 15 im goin lax-den-bwi for my 8th grade class trip but im terrified of ocean flying

[amin654]

dont even worry flying is the best exoerience in the world

[dejpau3825]

Yup! It's very relaxing! Minus the takeoff and landings, which always give me HUGE adrenaline rushes...but only in the best way!

[jlebesis]

Hey buddy...How did you go with that flight in the end? Hope it all went well! :)

[lovieee2]

is that how all flights are bcause im march im going to take a plaine from concord california to las vegas nevada and i was super scared but this makes me feel so much better

[TheDreamConnection]

Thanks 4 your comment. You really don't need to worry, flying is so much fun -- just enjoy!

[dstafford90]

I want to take a flight like that in fact I'm supposed to fly outta LAX to go to Frankfurt this summer but all the flights have lay overs and don't seem to fly that North to Greenland

[gezelle007]

why are you turning left? i thought you go over mid nevada and over canada and then the atlantic then europe???

[MeanGene79]

Probably because they took off over the Pacific (into the wind), then made a left turn to go back towards the mainland, then on their way to Germany.

[TheDreamConnection]

yep!

[samparra]

Nice video..Thanks , I live close to LAX about an hour awa

[thumbun]

You actually took off on Runway 24L -- from the east to the west. The plane's heading as it rolled down the runway was approximately 240 degrees. The opposite end (closest to the ocean) of Runway 24L is Runway 6R. Runways are numbered according to their compass heading. Opposite ends of any runway reflect opposite ends of a circle, or a difference of 180 degrees. In this case, the difference between 24 and 6 is 18.

[TheDreamConnection]

Thanks for correcting me, I just changed the video information.

[rkjeldgaard]

Cool - thanks 4 sharing.

[Neiliard86]

is the flight 10 hours long?

[TheDreamConnection]

Yeah, you're right - flight time from the US west coast to Frankfurt is about 10 hours and we were right on schedule.
