Flying Lufthansa's A340-600 Economy Class - an honest review.

Welcome aboard the rare Lufthansa Airbus A340-600, which I flew from Chicago to Frankfurt. This is an economy class review and what's more, the video includes a good look at the unique downstairs toilet on the A340-600. Not many of these about any more, so sit back and enjoy the video!

Goes for Dunkin' instead of back to the lounge. That's a man who travels a lot and doesn't need to worry about getting his 'worth' out of a lounge.

I flew the A340-600 from Munich to Cape Town in January 2020. Amazing flight, had no idea about the toilets. Still to this day one of the biggest surprises I’ve encountered on a flight!

I think the Airbus a340-600 is a work of art that flies.

My first ever flight was on an Airbus A340-300. It was brand new when I flew from London to JFK back in February '94. Got upgraded twice to fly Upper Class, not bad at 16!

It also has a pilot's rest area underneath the cockpit. One of my friends worked on flight planning software for Lufthansa, 20 is years ago, and used to fly to SFO after work on Friday to visit his girlfriend. Every week. One week the A346 was full, but he had cockpit access because his job involved chatting with pilots while in flight. So he got stuck in the crew rest area and slept for the entire 11 ish hours. I have always envied him that flight. United sucks. I have never flown on either, so I'd take the A346 because it is fading out, and then try the A359 another time.

Gotta love the downstairs toilets! What a treat. Thanks for bringing us along, Paul!

[paulineparsons]

You are a great for your service..and thankyou for everything x

No individually adjustable air vents at the seats, but provided in the downstairs loo. I love it!

[BonniesMoToRanch]

As always a great video Paul! I always like your choice of music and style of presentation, it's really relaxing compared to others.

The crew Rest is actually used on all flights, it very rarely happens that there isn't enough time for at least a half hour nap. On a 7 hour flight you'll get about an hour of rest time down there actually.
Also, the galley for Economy used to be down where the bathrooms are now, this has been changed a few years ago. The -600 wasn't a popular aircraft to work on before this change. I only worked 2 flights on the -600 but I really enjoyed it, awesome aircraft!

I flew on a Lufthansa A340-600 from EWR to MUC a few years ago, the extra headroom in the downstairs toilets were a godsend for someone tall like me.

Good to have you back in the saddle at 34, 000 ft.Objective and rational and appreciative of the plus points.

[EthanPricco]

I haven’t flown on the A340, but earlier this year I flew Lufthansa in economy on the A350 from Munich to Chicago and it was probably the best long haul flight I’ve been on. I was very impressed with them. The seat was comfy, the crew were nice and the meals were pretty good.

I can remember when you hit 100, 000 subscribers and were going to switch to full time. your channel is still good and interesting, thanks

[whatever]

You know what? Taking a midnight snack donut on a long trip is more clever than I ever have done! The next time I do it I will think about you!

[JW-mxqg]

So funny to see the Flight attendant looking at you coming in the plane touching the fuselage skin 🤣 he was like, what are you doing here?!

[jeadie]

I’ll be on this exact flight exactly a week from now. Looking forward to it and glad we don’t need to go to the international terminal at ohare for our connection. Great video. Good timing. 😂

[deuter]

It’s so surreal how fast this year has flown by. 🤯 year end is swiftly approaching 😦

[Swissair]

I actually flew on an Airbus A340-500 many years ago from Bangkok to LAX and that was a lot of fun.

[scottyerkes]

Those downstairs toilets are really unique.
The economy seat and meal were good. Thanks Paul.👍👍😀👌
