I have flown Lufthansa many times and they are quite good.
As for Frankfurt Airport.....a total stinking ripoff to eat there unless you like McDonalds. What are they trying to prove here, how to hijack passengers on the ground? They are probably trying to pay of the East German debt? Prices probably set by Siemens for extra kickback.
Don't blame Lufthansa, blame the Oil barons for jacking fuel costs through the roof! There's NO money left over for any frills when they take their cut of the profits. And NO I don't work for Lufthansa either.
LH actually offers a fairly decent product in Coach on their A330, A340 and A380 aircraft. It's only the aging B744s that are - admittedly - quite outdated in the cabin (and in general I dare say). I guess the new B748 which LH will received very soon will finally bring the Boeing cabin standards to the level of the LH Airbus fleet.
Der Grund warum Lufthansa ihr B747-400 Flotte nicht erneuert ist der, dass sie alle B747 ab dem Jahr 2012 entfernen, und es sich deshalb nicht lohnt alle umzurüsten.
Been flying since 1991. Have traveled on a number of global airlines. The Germans are the best at what they do. Having the best safety record of all time, Lufthansa guarantees your safe travel. I am an Indian Citizen living in the United States at The Ohio State University and a frequent flyer with Delta Airways and Etihad Airlines. Airplanes and Airline Companies are my passion and I take these things very seriously.
I DONT work for Lufthansa but I do think you are just a cry baby.... What would you have done flying 30 - 40 years ago when Lufthansa was using Boeing 707s across their system? People need to really stop complaining about petty things.
Well on airbus planes, you always get a PTV on LH. Plus the 747 is not the most updated plane ever. On the A340-600, you go to a special area dowstairs to the bathroom and there is a ton of legroom. That's why I really don't like economy on any 747. Plus, you should check out the business and first classes on that plane, very nice!
As a (very) frequent traveller on long-haul flights (10 hours +), I really don't understand the poster of this video. Lufthansa is one of my favourite airlines! Shame you got a soon-to-be-replaced 747...fly the new A380 and then compare to your great American airlines.
Continental, Delta or AA; particularly the former two have consistently disappointed me. No in-flight entertainment, no sense of customer service and the same damn CHICKEN or PASTA every single time, with a cookie as "dessert".
It's not that they Lefthansa doesn't want to maintain the 747s, it's just that these 747s will soon be replaced by 747-8s so what's the point of spending large amounts of miney to maintain them?
@returnofthekingxd Or it could just be that its better to fix engines and air frames than to worry about a tiny bit of torn carpet.. Sometimes you just cannot keep up with regular wear and tear on stuff. Especially when you have careless passengers that think they can do whatever the heck they want on the plane..
Lufthansa has generally been comfortable, but when it comes in a B747 fly, because the machines already in some cases for 25 years in operation, can the economy do not really expect much, but if you look at the buisness or first class , it is like a completely different opinion, because the really are worth the money! Also, I would not count so many advantages over Rumer Lufthansa because Lufthansa is truly one of the best airlines! :P
I am Frequent Traveller and only use Lufthansa. The BUSINESS and FIRST CLASS are very comfortable, in any way. ECONOMY its nice, too. Its a great airline.
Ive flown Lufthanse 3 times and i dont mind flying with them again. Seat room is like every european company. and im just over 2 meters so thats tight for me but no diffrent from other company's. Also lufthansa dosent have as much other fee's as the rest of the airlines does. In flight entertainment is not standard in europe but a luxury. So perhaps you should get your american but on another companys seat so you can see it's not so bad. "Stop crying & Start Trying"
@thefarmfun What on earth? I've flown Lufthansa more than 5 times on their A340's and A330's and it's more than comfortable! I'm 5' 7" and the legroom is better than most other airlines I've seen. Also, the IFE is great! They have a great selection of movies, and music.
wished I had seen this video before I booked my flight on Lufthansa next month... I paid more but am getting ripped off, only 1 bag allowed between LAX and BLR (20 hr flight!!!) ridiculous! well, live and learn...NO MORE lufthansa ever
@sbkpilot11 right now most of the airlines have one bag with weight 52 pounds and two hand bags. Lufthansa is good airline. You will enjoy it! Btw I do not work for them:)
Its only for the boeing 747 but the airbus have the personal tvs. Like on the lot polish airlines boeing 767, they don't have the personal tvs, but the carpet are clean.
Strictly fly Lufthansa and just came back on board the 747-400 with spectacular service in Economy (JFK). Lufthansa is getting a delivery of 21 new 748-800 so you are wrong. Many carriers have one or three older cabins. Try Flying ElAl that is horrible jew airline
You know that Lufthansa announced that they don´t want to upgrade their B744 because they get time by time replaced by A380 and B748?? No?? Hm then its your own fault. I was flying with an B744 from Fra to Lax and guess what, i don´t have anything to claim. Cause i knew about their Interieur at B744. If you don´t want to fly without all those gimmicks, i suggest, you take the Airbus 340-600 or 380 they all come with In Seat Media. Otherwise feel free to take any other airline...
but you did get there safely, and you are still alive, and now bitch an moan about an outsanding organisation, next time try air france, may I recommend brazil as a destination?
this viedo shows that the person who posted this video on youtube doesn't knows a lot about airplanes. you had a flight in one of the older planes from lufthansa. the 747 has new seats on board. you had to know that before posting this video.
lufthansa's boeing 747 SUCKS I WOULD RATHER TAKE THE A380. ive beenin the 747 and the seat were to tight, no entertainment and it took 9 hours. 9 HOURS WITHOUT ENTERTAINMENT AND BEING TORTURED BY SEATS!
Lufthansa has an outstanding reputation, which is not always visible to the passengers. That's the reason for the main, why they can get away with things. Like with their peppy pricing, or their less than stellar hospitality on economy. I too got disappointed throughout the years with LH, and experimented with other airlines. On price they were all better, but in other respect, some were better, some worse.
i truly agree with the statement FLY EMIRATES. they give the best economy product ive ever had. endless movies games and IFE. personal screens comfy seats and on the flight i took we had the same meals as business class. truly a great airline
I agree that some of the older aircraft on LH have no IFES.but why didnt u do yr homework before purchasing the ticket? What stopped u frm flying with other carriers? The choice was out there,but maybe u chose LH because it was the cheapest at the time.I dont know. Anyhow..u should've asked your nearest travel agent or airline rep. As for the prices at the airports, unfortunately they are expensive everywhere. I doubt that you have experience in travel or else you would have known these things.
Lufthansa is one of the best companies in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!When i was flying Lufthansa's airplane it was very clean and very comfortable.I agree with DeBlakPerl.STFU!!!!!!
flying is not enough today it seems...no, hundred years after humans learned to fly, it has to be flying AND choosing from 50 movies,...omg, good night world
Well, your right at one point, that the old Lufthansas B747's are very boring and uncomfortable. I flew with a Lufthansa 747 from Denver to Frankfurt when I was 9, and it was horrible, I was so bored. But, I now Lufthansa has got better and can do better. And Frankfurt Airport isnt expensive, these are REGULAR german prices!
I flew with Lufthansa Boeing 737-300 to Frankfurt from Landvetter then a Lufthansa 747-400 from Frankfurt to Bangkok, on both flights there where perfect service and both aircrafts was very comfortable to fly!
I dont understand. If they are the same price as lufthansa why dont you fly them? And if you want in flight entertainment or more leg room you can buy that..
what a stupid video, shut up moaning and learn from your lesson to not fly with them again if you were unhappy, maybe even write a letter but stop whining like a bitch and wasting peoples time
They just need to spend a couple million Euros to modernize the interior of their 747-400's the way Korean Airlines and many others have. Modernization typically yields more space in the economy class because the seat configurations have less passengers.
I know it may be annoying to fly with old entertaining system, but Lufthansa is replacing it with new entertainment systems in its newest 747-400 and they will get the new 747-8I in 2012. So soon all Lufthansa long-haul airplanes will have the in-seat entertaining. In addition 10 years is NOT very old for an airplane.
That's the first commercial airliner I've seen that doesn't have air vents at each seat. That's really unusual. I get hot on airplanes, and the first thing I always do is crank on the air and aim it towards my head!
I get a good laugh each time I see or hear people blaming their bumpy flight on the airline or the pilot..... If you fly through rough weather on a day old A380 and a 20 year old 747 in the same conditions....chances are the ride will feel the same....
I agree it's a coach flight, but every plane I've been on at least had overhead vents, and yes, even a UAL 747 from way back in "79,too. The in flight film(The Goodbye girl!) was shown on a pull down screen,and You still used those goofy "stethoscope" style headphones. Even flights in an old DC-9 and 737 back in '75 we had vents at least. I don't expect much from coach, but no overhead vents? There's no excuse for that at all.
In Transaero (russian carrier) there is much older 747 and their youngest 747 is 10 years and 777 also 10 years, they have this planes from singapore airlines
You should sit up front in First. Only 8 flat-bed seats with 14" on-demand entertainment system, no line for the first class lavatory ever, caviar, champagne, a 5 or 6 course meal, all the Johnnie Walker Blue you can drink and a Porsche amenity kit and pajamas which come in handy after all that great food and JWB. You DO get what you pay for.
i will agree that the coach section looks a bit rundown but even when i flew olympic airlines 747-200 the coach section was much better. there's no way these are 747-400's
I fully agree with this video because I and my wife recently travelled from frankfurt to chicago on Oct. 30, 2011 by Lufthansa in 747 and our experience was shocking. I had never seen a plane in past 10 without inflight entertainment video monitor and the air hostesses looked jaded and the service and food provided was hopeless.
Thats no true now all 747-400 flet at lufthansa have tv in there seats. And yoUre so cheap and sit economy what do you expect a first class seat a lounge when you fly first or bussines its the best and the new economy is very good no plane in the lufthansa fleet has no tvs anylmore i fly every 45 days with lufthansa and othere airlines its the money worth
Yes, some Boeing 747-400 aircraft don't feature IFE, and I will most likely be on one without IFE.
But there's 100 Million people traveling with Lufthansa each year - Safe.
And it's not like other airlines have cleaner aircraft/more recline/ife. I was on BA a couple of months ago and I had no space whatsoever, they featured IFE, but you couldn't see anything with the window opened.
I don't like this hatred videos and millions of people traveling on LH each year would agree.
I flew Lufthansa from Washington to Frankfurt in Sept. 2011 and their 747 was already refurbished. Awesome comfy seats with lots of legroom and of course a ptv. Shouldn't take long and all their 747s gonna be the same
The easiest way to avoid flying Lufthansa without PTV ist avoiding FRA. DUS and MUC have only A333 (really new) and A343/346 (relativly new) stationed which are all equiped with a PTV. That's what I did last time.
Try flying the Lufthansa A340 that plane is great theres in-seat entertainment, great Eco seat leg room, overhead air vents, and on top of that they are sooooooooo nice, great German hospitality. Also the Lufthansa A330 and A380 Lufthansa forever!!!!
Why don´t you pay some bucks more and fly business-class? Paying 1.800$ for eco, are u crazy? I pay FRA-SFO LAX-FRA 880EUR!!! Which LH flight is 15h? There is none in their schedule!!!
maybe if u checked seat map before the flight u wouldnt have a problem. bring an ipad ipod iphone. i was on a 8.5 hour flight it was great without tv.
Some Air France 747 is the same problem but by the next fall it should be over because Air France is retrofiting its 747s with ptvs. Also Lufthansa was late on Air France because there was no ptvs in the economy class on board off the 747. But Air New Zeland, All Nippon Airways and Singapore Airlines are the Star alliance members like Lufthansa and their 747s is equipped with ptvs.
MAYBE IF YOU FLY A NEW PLANE FROM LUFTHANSA, YOU WILL LIKE IT. ALSO, LUFTHANSA IS THE BEST AIRLINE EVER AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. I BET THAT PLANE WAS 25 YEARS OLD, YOU LIE!!!!!! LUFTHANSA FOREVER!
if you want inseat-entertainment, or more space with your legs, buy a first class ticket!!! and dont waste your and espacially OUR time with making a video against Lufthansa!! you got it? good.
Granted there are cosmetic flaws, but this is a 22 year old plane. Lufthansa does a remarkable job at keeping them performing and looking as new as they were on the delivery date. Beyond that, your ticket price covers much more than the physical condition of your environment on board. You paid a premium for professionalism, exceptional service, reliability, and punctuality. The question is, does all that matter to you?
@mjk0123456789 the Boeing 747-400 is an old plane... But it's not boeings fault for the interior... It's lufthansas... The lufthansa 747-400 is old and won't be recreated as for the 747-8 beat the a380 in size and interior... A380 is still a great plane. All I'm trying to say is airbus and boeing are both good... A340=long 1 floor 4 engine plane... Great long travels and 747 jumbo jet great for traveling too a380 is the worlds biggest airliner... Boeing and airbus are both great! (before sold t
That's why Boeing beat the a380 on size and interior in the 747-8 and it's not the 747s fault it's the airliners fault for not putting in tv's and all the fancy stuff... A380 and 747 are nearly equal to eachother (before sold to airliners.) Boeing doesnt suck airbus doesn't suck but Boeing did get the fighter job...
Airbus partisans, quit blaming Boeing for the lack of personal in-flight entertainment system in Lufthansa's 747-400 economy seats. Singapore Airlines had such system in economy class of their 747 fleet back in the 90s! It's up to the Airlines, not the plane's manufacturer to decide how to equip and manage their interior arrangement.
I've had great flights on Luftansa, but then again, all of mine have been on Airbuses. All of the flight crew and stewards and stewardesses were more than helpful. I've had problems with both American and United both to the extent that I would rather take a Euro carrier in the states then take either one of them. God, what happened to manners and service in the air?
(2) my buddy took a sleeping pill and could not sleep, for I myself like you cant sleep on planes no matter what, horrible experience, but this time im flying to San francisco in a couple of days on the A 380 im expecting alot from them this time, and btw just Fly Emirates all planes have great PTV called ICE loved it man and it cost me $1025 to fly economy for the same route.
You mainly mean Avoid Lufthansa's long haul 747's I agree on that because I flew from Los Angeles to Frankfurt last December after booking had to change because British airways canceled all flights due to snow, and I boarded the 747 of lufthansa and oh my god it was a full flight so i had to take it economy, even though im lean and thin the seats where tight and I was in the middle of the damn plane my knees hurt me alot from how tight it is between my row and front row, very hot and no TV. (1)
Sorry to hear and see your bad experience! My Lufthansa 747 experience was quite nice. Seat Guru is a somewhat decent guide to avoid an experience like yours. Was your flight full up preventing a seat change?
I find it simply incredible that Deutsche Lufthansa - OF ALL AIRLINES - has not yet put entertainment screens/monitors on its bread & butter long haul 747's. They have been in every other trans-Atlantic flight I have been on for the last 10 YEARS.
There is simply no excuse. Shocking, frankly. Again, of all airlines in the world...
Thanks for the heads up CEOTerminator. American Airlines just got reservations for two - mine, and not DL...
I can totally relate with this post. Flew LAX-FRA-OLB. LAX-FRA segment was HELL! PURE HELL. Everything in your video is correct. It was so terrible that I bought an extra ticket just to fly on another airline. Air Berlin is a great alternative.
I bought a ticket for United and am flying on a Lufthansa flight. Hopefully their A340's are better than their dated 747's.
@VibrationPak They are renewing their A332 at the moment and the new 787 will also have ptv. They also talked about giving parts of their short haul fleet ptv some time.
@VibrationPak AB doesn't feature IFE whatsoever, you have IFE on the entire A 340 (50 aircraft), A 330 (18 aircraft) and A 380 (8 aircraft) fleet, which totals 76 aircraft equipped with IFE - and the Boeing 744 fleet is being upgraded (I think 10 out of 30)...
However, I will probably be on one without IFE, I'm just gonna have to read a book or use your iPhone/iPad/MacBook Pro...
Well, I don't see anything bad in Lufthansa Economy, apart from that there are no screens on 747s on the long-haul flights. That's actually pretty unpleasant. They should have renovated them a long time ago. Airbuses are better all the way.
with the knees, I agree/understand. with the inflight entertainment, hrm... you should've informed yourself better before booking. Lufthansa offers inflight entertainment on all their planes EXCEPT 747-400 (because they will soon be replaced by 747-8). but with the carpet... come on, if THAT's your criteria I'm sorry :D:D flight safety has nothing to do with carpets. and for the Soda, pls blame Fraport (Frankfurt Airport) which has nothing to do with Lufthansa.
I am sorry but this video doesn't make sense. If they were too expensive why the hell did you fly them especially as you claim other airlines charge less for the same routes. The 744s are old, yes, however as 3456633234546 said they are gradually being refurbished within the next 8 months. That was clearly stated on their website. It annoys me when I see stuff like don't fly lufthansa or any other airline or else you'd regret it. Majority of people fly to get from point A to B not to watch TV
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@ogepma I always believe that paying more means getting more, not true with Lufthansa as per ticket prices, they were higher. Majority of people may not have sleep disorder like me to be awake and not having anything to do from point A to B, and you sure must be a Lufthansa employee, good, keep your job with a company that lies all the time to its customers.
@CEOTerminator about the prices... I don't know from where to where you flew, but I flew Lufthansa this year from Frankfurt to New York JFK for 450 euros (round trip). If you book early you pay less, if you book late you pay the high prices. it works like this: the 'stupid' late bookers have to pay the price for the cheaper seats of the early-bookers. it works like this for EVERY AIRLINE, whether you take Air France United Airlines Qantas... that's the business. you have to book early
@CEOTerminator what i always fly with lufthansa has a nice lounge 747 have new tv in there seats and there is no other ailine where you have lots of space
@CEOTerminator OK inseat entertainment is a flying frill. Lufthansa doesn't have to have tvs on the seats, if you wanted tv why didn't you check what aircraft you are gonna fly with, or see videos or images from the cabin.
@ogepma those B744 are some 15-20years old..isn t it better to get newer planes(although expensive) like the B747-8 that Lufthansa have ordered. Lufthansas hub Frankfurt is an awful place that time has runned out of.
There are cheaper carriers than LH yes...you are right about most people want to get from A to B..they are not airplane buffs or airport affecionados..the price though is important..Lh has some good deals now and then.
@ogepma Some people just want to NOT be bored for 12-13hrs... I am one of them. Oge : if you are a lufthansa fan fairplay to you. But I agree on this video. Their service (attendants) are often above average and visible. More than other airlines. But I need my freedom to choose movies or be able to sleep . Sry if you can easily sleep in an airline-seat. Not easy for many folks u know. And yes, their legroom is appauling! Hansa food is shit too. KLM and BA ftw.! Easy to upgrade, fair prices!
The 747s are refurbished with FlyNet, new Y with PTV, new F over the upcoming months. But this takes around 3-4 weeks per plane and you can only do this while they have their regular maintenance interval checks. I know its annoying, but you can partly blame Boeing for this, because they are late with the new 747-8i which are going to replace the old 747s.

You know that Lufthansa announced that they don´t want to upgrade their B744 because they get time by time replaced by A380 and B748?? No?? Hm then its your own fault. I was flying with an B744 from Fra to Lax and guess what, i don´t have anything to claim. Cause i knew about their Interieur at B744. If you don´t want to fly without all those gimmicks, i suggest, you take the Airbus 340-600 or 380 they all come with In Seat Media. Otherwise feel free to take any other airline...

Lufthansa has an outstanding reputation, which is not always visible to the passengers. That's the reason for the main, why they can get away with things. Like with their peppy pricing, or their less than stellar hospitality on economy. I too got disappointed throughout the years with LH, and experimented with other airlines. On price they were all better, but in other respect, some were better, some worse.

i truly agree with the statement FLY EMIRATES. they give the best economy product ive ever had. endless movies games and IFE. personal screens comfy seats and on the flight i took we had the same meals as business class. truly a great airline

I agree that some of the older aircraft on LH have no IFES.but why didnt u do yr homework before purchasing the ticket? What stopped u frm flying with other carriers? The choice was out there,but maybe u chose LH because it was the cheapest at the time.I dont know. Anyhow..u should've asked your nearest travel agent or airline rep. As for the prices at the airports, unfortunately they are expensive everywhere. I doubt that you have experience in travel or else you would have known these things.

Well, your right at one point, that the old Lufthansas B747's are very boring and uncomfortable. I flew with a Lufthansa 747 from Denver to Frankfurt when I was 9, and it was horrible, I was so bored. But, I now Lufthansa has got better and can do better. And Frankfurt Airport isnt expensive, these are REGULAR german prices!

They just need to spend a couple million Euros to modernize the interior of their 747-400's the way Korean Airlines and many others have. Modernization typically yields more space in the economy class because the seat configurations have less passengers.

I know it may be annoying to fly with old entertaining system, but Lufthansa is replacing it with new entertainment systems in its newest 747-400 and they will get the new 747-8I in 2012. So soon all Lufthansa long-haul airplanes will have the in-seat entertaining. In addition 10 years is NOT very old for an airplane.

I agree it's a coach flight, but every plane I've been on at least had overhead vents, and yes, even a UAL 747 from way back in "79,too. The in flight film(The Goodbye girl!) was shown on a pull down screen,and You still used those goofy "stethoscope" style headphones. Even flights in an old DC-9 and 737 back in '75 we had vents at least. I don't expect much from coach, but no overhead vents? There's no excuse for that at all.

You should sit up front in First. Only 8 flat-bed seats with 14" on-demand entertainment system, no line for the first class lavatory ever, caviar, champagne, a 5 or 6 course meal, all the Johnnie Walker Blue you can drink and a Porsche amenity kit and pajamas which come in handy after all that great food and JWB.

I fully agree with this video because I and my wife recently travelled from frankfurt to chicago on Oct. 30, 2011 by Lufthansa in 747 and our experience was shocking. I had never seen a plane in past 10 without inflight entertainment video monitor and the air hostesses looked jaded and the service and food provided was hopeless.

Yes, some Boeing 747-400 aircraft don't feature IFE, and I will most likely be on one without IFE.
But there's 100 Million people traveling with Lufthansa each year - Safe.
And it's not like other airlines have cleaner aircraft/more recline/ife. I was on BA a couple of months ago and I had no space whatsoever, they featured IFE, but you couldn't see anything with the window opened.
I don't like this hatred videos and millions of people traveling on LH each year would agree.

The easiest way to avoid flying Lufthansa without PTV ist avoiding FRA. DUS and MUC have only A333 (really new) and A343/346 (relativly new) stationed which are all equiped with a PTV. That's what I did last time.

Some Air France 747 is the same problem but by the next fall it should be over because Air France is retrofiting its 747s with ptvs. Also Lufthansa was late on Air France because there was no ptvs in the economy class on board off the 747. But Air New Zeland, All Nippon Airways and Singapore Airlines are the Star alliance members like Lufthansa and their 747s is equipped with ptvs.

Granted there are cosmetic flaws, but this is a 22 year old plane. Lufthansa does a remarkable job at keeping them performing and looking as new as they were on the delivery date. Beyond that, your ticket price covers much more than the physical condition of your environment on board. You paid a premium for professionalism, exceptional service, reliability, and punctuality. The question is, does all that matter to you?

That's why Boeing beat the a380 on size and interior in the 747-8 and it's not the 747s fault it's the airliners fault for not putting in tv's and all the fancy stuff... A380 and 747 are nearly equal to eachother (before sold to airliners.) Boeing doesnt suck airbus doesn't suck but Boeing did get the fighter job...
theneocuber01 5 months ago
Airbus partisans, quit blaming Boeing for the lack of personal in-flight entertainment system in Lufthansa's 747-400 economy seats. Singapore Airlines had such system in economy class of their 747 fleet back in the 90s! It's up to the Airlines, not the plane's manufacturer to decide how to equip and manage their interior arrangement.

I've had great flights on Luftansa, but then again, all of mine have been on Airbuses. All of the flight crew and stewards and stewardesses were more than helpful.

You mainly mean Avoid Lufthansa's long haul 747's I agree on that because I flew from Los Angeles to Frankfurt last December after booking had to change because British airways canceled all flights due to snow, and I boarded the 747 of lufthansa and oh my god it was a full flight so i had to take it economy, even though im lean and thin the seats where tight and I was in the middle of the damn plane my knees hurt me alot from how tight it is between my row and front row, very hot and no TV.

I find it simply incredible that Deutsche Lufthansa - OF ALL AIRLINES - has not yet put entertainment screens/monitors on its bread & butter long haul 747's. They have been in every other trans-Atlantic flight I have been on for the last 10 YEARS.
There is simply no excuse. Shocking, frankly. Again, of all airlines in the world...

with the knees, I agree/understand. with the inflight entertainment, hrm... you should've informed yourself better before booking. Lufthansa offers inflight entertainment on all their planes EXCEPT 747-400 (because they will soon be replaced by 747-8). but with the carpet... come on, if THAT's your criteria I'm sorry :D:D flight safety has nothing to do with carpets. and for the Soda, pls blame Fraport (Frankfurt Airport) which has nothing to do with Lufthansa.

@CEOTerminator about the prices... I don't know from where to where you flew, but I flew Lufthansa this year from Frankfurt to New York JFK for 450 euros (round trip). If you book early you pay less, if you book late you pay the high prices. it works like this: the 'stupid' late bookers have to pay the price for the cheaper seats of the early-bookers. it works like this for EVERY AIRLINE, whether you take Air France United Airlines Qantas... that's the business. you have to book early

The 747s are refurbished with FlyNet, new Y with PTV, new F over the upcoming months. But this takes around 3-4 weeks per plane and you can only do this while they have their regular maintenance interval checks. I know its annoying, but you can partly blame Boeing for this, because they are late with the new 747-8i which are going to replace the old 747s.
