Lufthansa Boeing 747 Upper Deck - 10 hours in Business Class (iconic plane)

Join me on a long-haul flight in Business Class on the upper deck of a Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 from Frankfurt (Germany) to Johannesburg (South Africa). Watch till the end for some incredible video footage.

Flying the Boeing 747 – dubbed the Queen of the Skies – is always an epic experience and Lufthansa is one of the last remaining airlines in the world that still flies this aircraft type, with 27 Boeing 747s in its fleet. The Boeing 747 has been a bestseller with airlines: between the first 747 flight on February 9th 1969 and the end of the 747 production line in 2022, Boeing has built 1,560 B747 aircraft. The Boeing 747-8 is the latest, quieter, more economical, and more environmentally friendly version of the famous aircraft type. The B47-8 features similar engines & cockpit technology as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It is also the world’s longest airplane with a fuselage length of 251 feet (77 m).

But while the Boeing 747 is a marvel of technology (I always feel privileged to fly in a 747, especially when seated on the upper deck), Lufthansa’s Business Class does not match the grandeur of its flagship aircraft. The cabin configuration (2-2-2 on the lower deck and 2-2 on the upper deck) and the lack of privacy are disappointing and lightyears behind the Business Class product offered by the carrier’s competitors. The good news is that Lufthansa has introduced a new Business Class seat and cabin layout – called Alegris – on its Airbus A350 fleet.

Business class sucks. It would've been nice to see their 1st class cabin if available.

[adelguy]

Another great video, not sure about the seat configuration though, love the music you choose to accompany your vlogs!!

[terrybrown]

Neither the seat layout nor the meals looked very appealing.

Lufthansa is our preferred airline....flew with them last week & will again this week. While we enjoy Lufthansa, this business class configuration really is in need of an update. After connecting in Frankfurt, I flew to the USA on a United aircraft (Star Alliance) & their business class was much nicer using a 1-2-1 configuration with more privacy. Still, we're happy to fly with Lufthansa.

Been on same flight several times, I trully hope update these planes soons since it is getting an ‘old fashioned’ experience 😮😢

[wesssavorn]

Wow Botswana looks so incredible can't wait for your video much luv from wess in canada

[elaynemurtha]

One of the rare times you’ve shown most unappetizing food.😮

[Amar]

Airlink looked better than Lufthansa business class. Seriously: Lufthansa’s breakfast looked like a doctored-up Economy class meal, while Airlink’s light lunch option looked much more appetizing.

[andrea]

It’s still better than any business class we have here in America lol ! 😂 nice video 👍🏻😊

[GringosOnTheGulf]

Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico. 🇲🇽🥰✌🏼

I last travelled Lufthansa in 2002. The service was curt and abrupt, the food was abysmal and my IFE did not work. But they were punctual! My next flight was on Croatian Airlines and that was very chill-axed and comfy. I decided I'd never fly a 'cheaper' airline again and have stuck with SIA ever since.
