Since Lufthansa announced they would be re-entering service into my home airport of San Diego, this flight has been at the top of my to-do list. Join me as I discover what it's like to fly on the longest flight into SAN and to see how Lufthansa’s long-haul service in Economy has been holding up. All I can say is that I definitely wasn’t disappointed especially with that picturesque view while on approach into San Diego.

I Am So Agreed With You The A 350 Is A Beautiful Air Craft,And Love The Exterior Cameras.Great Trip Report
Wow so few people hire in the channels 🙁! It seen the airline have improved(they have too if they want people to with them). First a350 too! Excellent video!
I heard that San Diego is one of the most difficult airports for pilots to fly into. Not sure if that is true.
@@NeilHarding-ne1mh There are some pilots who might say that landing into SAN is difficult due to some challenges such as Bankers Hill and a tall parking structure right before the start of the displaced threshold. The displaced threshold is 1810 ft long, which leaves “only” 7591 ft of usable runway to touchdown on and slow down. Due to the unique position of the airport being in the middle of the city and these obstacles in the approach path, this requires pilots to come in at a slightly steeper angle than normal. The steep approach together with a shortish runway is the main reason why some might say San Diego has a difficult airport to land in but I feel like that’s just not true. In good weather, an experienced pilot will have no trouble eyeballing a stable visual approach and even a pilot with less experience would still have no issue if they have a bit of help from a non-precision approach system. Furthermore, if the weather is not so great, pilots land runway 09 which has an ILS system so overall San Diego is a pretty safe airport to land in and even if it’s not the easiest, it’s still far from being one of the hardest.
It is quite challenging because the airport, located along the harbor front, has an approach from the east to use Runway 27 that comes in over a hill, so your glide slope has to be high enough to clear the buildings and terrain, while still descending to hit the runway just above sea level. It's only about 1.5 miles between the highest point on the hill and the runway threshold.
If you ever fly into San Diego, 90+% of our flights use Runway 27 because of the prevailing winds off the ocean, so sit on the left side of the aircraft for a great view of the Coronado Bridge, the harbor, and downtown San Diego (you'll be at about the same height as some of the taller buildings).
Here's a video with a cockpit view of the landing into SAN:

Too much time spent on the IFE, people are really not that interested in the details. The second meal wasn't even described or reviewed.
@@karlp8484 Thanks for the feedback! I realized that I didn’t film too much content for the second meal but I will definitely make an effort to do so in future videos. 👍
You really have to spent 10 minutes on the IFE and 20 seconds on the meal service ?
Geez people, it's just a video. If him spending time on the IFE is making you this upset then go outside and touch some grass.
you're complaining about free content, go outside.
