WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FLY LUFTHANSA FIRST CLASS

Episode 829 | Miami to Frankfurt | Filmed May 2022

——————————————————

Who are Kara and Nate?!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time. Van life was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

Can we just take a minute to appreciate that they didn’t split you guys up!? They were totally encouraging you to stay together as a couple even though you weren’t both flying first class. I LOVE that. Customer service is on point with Lufthansa!

[Taylor.Wiseman]

The flight attendant was probably so happy to have somebody that wasn’t an old Business man 😂
I was recently bumped to first class for the first time since I had multiple canceled flights, I was woefly under dressed and the flight attendant doted on me the whole time because every other person in first class was a businessman who put their seat back and fell right asleep. I was just shocked to be in first class the whole time😂😂

Love flashes of Nate struggling to get comfy in economy mixed in with Kara partying with the flight attendant who honestly seemed thrilled to have someone so friendly and engaged up front. Hilarious

[KhunOve]

I'm impressed that Kara managed to just get a little bit "tipsy" on that flight. 😊 The flight attendant kept serving huge amounts of red wine for her tasting. I am sure the flight attendants and your new BFF on the ground had a very enjoyable time at work that day. It's not many people that travel with your positive attitude and pleasant personalities. Keep it up. I love your videos.

Kara, after all the countries you and Nate have visited, out of all the things you guys have done, you still have a wide-eyed wonder about you when you have a brand new experience. That's what makes you Kara!

[rmyerscmi]

That was fun! I bet the flight crew enjoyed having someone who was so enthusiastic about the experience. Kara is so appreciative of everything that it makes you just want to keep doing more. Nate, you're a lucky man!

I've flow Lufthansa ever since we moved to the States from East Germany. Once the wall came down we were finally able to fly home annually to see family. As a child if my parents had to work I flew as an unaccompanied minor. (Always coach, I've never flown 1st class) I was always treated very well by Lufthansa staff. I once had a 6 hour layover in London. I've always dreamed of taking the walking tour through Olde London ending at the Tower of London. Staff got me set up in the 1st class lounge(again I was flying coach) let me choose a meal. Then one of the flight attendants who was based in London called my parents and requested permission to take me out of Heathrow and take me on the tour. My parents approved. I tried to pay for it and Lufthansa staff refused to allow me to pay. The tour was fantastic a child's dream come true. I received a map of the tour, an umbrella and t-shirt from the airlines, and photos taken by the tour company, and a ride back to the Airport

Can we just appreciate how nice Kara is to everyone just like how she was when the flight attendant came by!❤️

[starsforkara]

okay but the fact that kara and the flight attendant became like best friends having their own little wine tasting AND the extra caviar is so funny to me 😹😹 love you kara and nate and also my name is kara too 🤭😹

[badgamerkat]

I love how diverse your content is; one day you're traipsing through the Canadian Wilderness with a canoe on your head, or swimming from Alcatraz or surviving on an Island; next you're living in the lap of luxury and getting a bit tipsy in first class, lol. You both deserve every minute of joy that you get, and thank you for sharing with all of us.

[jjjvlbk]

kara just was the most humble first class passenger ever!!!. Im just LIVING for karas excitement and appreciation for EVERYTHING.

[sh]

The first class air crew must have been having so much fun with Kara. She's so excited about everything. And treats the crew like they are real people and not "crew".

Also, can't say the premium economy was terrible either

[NonstopDan]

Kara FaceTiming Nate from first class is such a mood😂 So fun seeing your excitement and enthusiasm! Now I want to bring you guys on the world’s best first class😉

[sewingblackcherry]

As a former Lufthansa flight attendant, I would have loved to welcome you guys onboard 🥰
I am glad you enjoyed your time with LH! My former colleagues are really having a hard time doing their job with all of the things going on in the world right now....
Best wishes from Germany 🌼

[monicapappas]

I love how even when you guys are experiencing the most luxurious, fancy, and expensive experiences - you are always so humble and kind. You are great role models, and I wish there were more people like the two of you in this world.

[letsreadtheroom]

Nate almost walking into the pole made him the most relatable he's ever been HAHA

[MattyTingles]

LOL!! The back and fourth cuts between you two were so good! haha!

[yaowsers]

i feel like that flight attendant on the first round really appreciated your excitement and upbeat personality and so she went a little above and beyond for you. not a lot, because, well, first class. lmao wine tasting on a plane. that's great!

[travelertrome]

Wasn't it just a few vlogs ago that Kara was scrounging for food and sleeping on the ground on a deserted island? Now look at this vlog..the contrast is astounding. Gotta love Kara & Nate! You don't know what's gonna happen next!!

[melaniej.]

Wow! That was definitely the first class experience. The way they come get you for boarding & escort you to the plane, the wine tasting, the meal(s) & the way they prepared a sleep room in the lounge 😳 Impressive!!
