Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

I flew LH 747-8 Business class form Miami to Frankfurt yesterday, row 7. That was the day when the Crowdstrike desaster hit. So I was glad the flight was going, even on time. My luggage however still is in MIA as the airtag shows me. But an hour ago I got an email from LH that they found so with a bit of luck I should have it back soon. The 747-8 needs no commenting, for me it is THE plane. The Lufthansa service was excellent, very friendly and really looking after people without fake smile bs. Food was really good and while, yes, there are more modern seats I got the 2-3 hours of sleep which make the difference between a messed up day and still being able to be productive. I‘d choose the 747 anytime over other planes.

Unpopular opinion: I actually really like these Lufthansa seats. They feel modern and sleek and while they do not possess much privacy, the seats make the cabin feel overall bigger, especially on the lower deck. I traveled a lot on these seats and they are consistent and barely have issues. Obviously not Polaris but I think it gets hated on too much from a lot of people!

I flew on Lufthansa from Houston to Frankfurt to Equatorial Guinea, Africa and back, round trip a few dozen times over seven years, sometimes in business class.
I never had a bad flight, Lufthansa has the best and most professional pilots and flight attendants, in my opinion.

Finally another iTR banger! 🙌 Also, awesome job getting the shot of the Waldstadion at 21:11. That probably was just a coincidence but a pleasant one nonetheless!

Narrow seat especially considering how much I would eat on that flight. Food looks great. Chapeau for wearing a jacket on board!

Flying the 748 this weekend (business class). Had the opportunity to fly United Polaris or other, more up-to-date business class options for similar costs, but chose LH because, as you said, being able to fly the 747 in the 2020s is a chance which shouldn't be passed up. Can't wait!

I am flying in November the first time with the 747-8 in the upper deck and was curious how it will be so thanks for this video. Travelled in Business Class from Air France the last time I went to Florida. So lets see how the business class is at Lufthansa. Unfortunately I ve heard already a lot of complaining.

Thanks for detailed review, my future flight ✈️

Took this flight in the opposite direction Frankfurt to San Francisco November 2023. Sat in the seat next to yours 87H. Upper deck business class on the 747-8 is bucket list for an aviation geek.

Very nice view from 87K. I will fly 747-8 seat 88k in November fra sfo, I am so excited

Great video! My only flight on a 747 (747-400) was in early 2000s on LH from FRA - JFK. Was the hottest flight in economy I’ve ever had, but great flight nonetheless. Can’t wait for the video in F!

¡Oh, eres el nuevo chico de negocios! 😀

Great video! Thank you for being properly dressed for business class on the Queen of the Skies. You looked sharp and totally fit the class. The other YouTubers and lackies wearing T-shirts and flip flops have no class or respect and don’t belong.

Noticed the take off from SFO was to the south (opposite usual departure and landing flow). Enjoyed your report. Guessing arrival time in Germany was around 08:00 hours?

Pls keep posting love these no comments videos

Could be 747-8 will be out of circulation soon, this is a good video to remember it as it used to be 😢

"Play footsie with your Indeed, the lack of privacy in that seat is astounding. Thanks for the review!

[marten.travelling.]

The announcement of the senior purser before take-off is so so nice, friendly, individuell and just lovely. Great! 🎉 Not like these sterile and unfriendly KLM announcements!

[LizS-dmrw]

First time seeing you in a suit, very nice

[maximemm]

Thanks for the video! I really don´t get what they tried to do with that seating logic - that´s litellary a nightmare for introverts
