Discovering Lufthansa Economy in 2024

In this video, I'll be hopping onboard a Lufthansa Airbus A320 NEO on a flight from London Heathrow through to their hub in Frankfurt, Germany.

It's been some time since I've flown a European carrier in the economy class other than British Airways and was excited to see where the major differences would lie vs Europe's largest carrier in Lufthansa.

Overall, it was a descent experience and one which would lead me back to Lufthansa in time. That said, they weren't fantastic. Whilst the cabins were well maintained and service prompt, the total lack of in seat charging and onboard WiFi was pretty poor in 2024. Like so many other European carriers, anything beyond a bottle of water was chargeable on the catering front - it really would be great to see them going back to more complimentary offerings and if you were keen to go for the basics and have to buy all the extras, there's plenty of carriers which offer that already...

Absolutely, BA the clear winner head to head in this regard. I always want/expect Lufthansa to be so much more than it is. Such an iconic brand. Great job, TbD.

Air France / KLM offer a much better economy product (intra European) in my opinionn... water sanswich and coffee on my last flight...Another factual helpful vlog thanks for posting

BA economy is a tad better thought the cabin looked pretty drab in comparison to BA and particularly Easyjet who's cabins look extremely smart .
On a recent BA economy flight from Berlin to LHR BA served the smallest pack of biscuits I've ever consumed.

Lufthansa used to have one of the best offerings in economy class within Europe in terms of service and catering. Sadly now they have cut back so much they rank below BA in my opinion. Austrian are the best carrier in the Lufthansa group in my opinion- you should try flying with them sometime to see the difference.

Totally mean, I don't think LH could have stripped back the service any more. At least the boarding was organised and Check in a breeze.

Also what is your overall impression/opinion of Turkish Airlines. Being a Turk, I am curious what you got to say :)

You must have dozed off when they came around with the basket of Lindt chocolates, offered on all flights in economy.
