Hi Jeff, Nice video! You should have gone to the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt to skip all the lines and get the limousine transfer. It is not very obvious because you have to exit the Terminal and walk by foot (still less than the transfer you made). Bonus: you get the Lufthansa rubber duck 😊
If I knew I would’ve had enough time I would have done that, next time I’ll start my trip in Frankfurt so I can enjoy the lounge. The Mrs collects rubber ducks too, bummer!
Hey Jeff, you always look so happy when you do these videos. I guess I would be happy as well. I don't know if I want to travel around the world, but I would love to take luxury flights like this. This flight looked amazing. keep the videos coming. I'm watching. Have fun and be safe.
@@HDjeff oh. I'm glad that I can make someone's day. I'm getting ready for an 8 day cruise in the beginning of August. Then hoping that I can get a solo trip in for September. Fingers crossed. Have fun
@@HDjeff Hahahaha!! Thank you and you made me laugh!! Thanks.. Yes, I am from United Airlines! And yes, I do miss flying the just recently older 747-400s..Hahaha!! Yes, I use to serve the First Class passengers. I am a former Purser Flight Attendant. I always like to see how people are enjoying their trips in different cabins. Because people like you, give other people who may not travel as much as you or I have, to see what it is like to.
Oh wow that’s amazing! I actually flew on UA747 the final flight United 747 flight from SFO to HNL. I have a bunch of super8 film footage from that trip that was only recently developed so I may actually make a video about that story, it was my favorite flight ever even though I was in economy. I do most of my flying with United, including my very first 747 flight, and I’m about 2/3 of a million miler. 😆
Isn’t the limousine/van transfer to the terminal in Frankfurt only available if the connecting plane is parked in a remote position and the rest of the passengers are transported by bus? They don’t offer any transfer if the plane gets the apron, I don’t think? But of course they will take you in a car from the First Class terminal to the plane.
You should have booked a longer connection in Frankfurt so you can go to the First Class Terminal!! I hope you get to re-do this trip with the proper First Class Terminal experience in Frankfurt.
HI jeff------- love your reports!. a question----- i have NO miles or points so is it possible to BUY points?------- id like to go with LH via Johannesburg to capetown in February ,but dont know how to do it in First without any points!-------All the best Peter.
Yes, I actually just made a shorts video about that! The cheapest way to do it is to buy LifeMiles or Air Canada Aeroplan on sale, and they’re on sale right now with Avianca LifeMiles for about 1.4 cents per mile so from the US the total cost was $1250 to purchase miles and fly first class one way. I wouldn’t buy points until you’re ready to book because Lufthansa will usually only release first class awards a couple weeks out so it depends on how much demand there is for first on your flight.
I've heard that Lufthansa is only releasing their first class award availability two or three days out. Did you wait for this and then book the flight last minute?
@@HDjeff it used to be 14 days out, but I hired the points dot me concierge and they denied my request and refunded me the money because they specifically told me they've (Lufthansa) only been releasing it two to three days out at most since this July.
I booked my Lufthansa first class on 747 with miles almost a year prior to departure but I believe you have to be a Miles&More member to be able to do it. Can’t wait for my first class from Frankfurt to Tokyo! Only 10 months to go! ;)))) I hope the waiting won’t turn out to be better than the real thing ;D
@@HDjeff There are quite a few avgeeks who are fascinated with seat 1A, and I have never been able to get a straight answer as to what is so special about it.
@jamesmoninger1982 I know some airlines reserve it for their top customers, just a little prestige I guess goes along with having the first seat on the plane.
I am on the LH760 FRA-DEL on Thursday in F, transiting on to BKK: what paperwork did you need? I have done the Air Suvidha online form. Is there anything else?
@@HDjeff Meanwhile the other First Class passengers who originated in Frankfurt (or had long enough connections in Frankfurt) got whisked airside from the First Class Terminal directly to the aircraft in either a Mercedes minivan or Porsche sedan.
Good job,i have not fly the 747-8.I have flying allot on the 747-400 with klm and qantas
Thank you! I also flew the Lufthansa 747-400 in December, that one is linked in the description.

Thank you so much Melanie, your kind comments always make my day! I definitely had a lot of fun on this trip. I hope you’re having a wonderful summer!

Yay pillow talk I know, I demand it ….. I also love the new turning left segment/ comment.
The turning left sound was definitely Amanda’s idea, I’ll have to bring it back now… but there is plenty more pillow talk to come, don’t worry! 😆
Thank you for sharing your trip here..
You made me laugh becuase I miss the 747-400s that my former airline used to fly recently.
Thank you, I have a video of that one too, same seat but it was business class. You can’t beat a ride on board the Queen of the skies!

That must be the case, I know they will take you from the lounge so I’ll definitely make sure I have enough time to stop there in the future.

Yes you’re right, if only that was an option at the time. Next time I’ll be sure to start in Frankfurt.

Looked a good service, love your content
Much appreciated, thanks for watching Steve!
Great video @Jeff!
Thank you so much!!
I've heard that Lufthansa is only releasing their first class award availability two or three days out. Did you wait for this and then book the flight last minute?
I booked about a week prior, but either way I’ve only been able to find first class availability within a couple weeks.

Excellent review looked wonderful. What is your next flight out of Delhi?
Thank you Nick! I took a quick flight on Air India to Mumbai the next day, and from there on to Singapore which will be the next video.
@@HDjeff fantastic Jeff we look forward to watching it. Safe travels!
Why is 1A the "best seat on the plane?" How is it different from 1K?
😂 I guess it doesn’t matter, just personal preference. You do get a better view leaving Frankfurt on the port side.

I think that’s it, I had a visa for India but needed to do the online form as well. Enjoy!
No separate boarding for First Class????!!!!
Crazy, right! Board along with business class and anyone else with Star Alliance gold, basically half the plane.
@@HDjeff Meanwhile the other First Class passengers who originated in Frankfurt (or had long enough connections in Frankfurt) got whisked airside from the First Class Terminal directly to the aircraft in either a Mercedes minivan or Porsche sedan.
We’re they strict with the mask?
No, definitely not! 😆
Lufthansa isn't a 5 Star Airline anymore
Yes they were downgraded shortly after I took the flight in May, I mentioned this at 13:46 and on the thumbnail.
That’s okay mate. Anyway you only spent US$90 though..
