On the flight deck to Mallorca: a special trip aboard the Lufthansa A350

  • In this video we join up with Lufthansa for a special A350 flight from Munich to Palma de Mallorca (PMI). A rare opportunity not only to fly a wide body within Europe, but also to tag along with the crew for the duration of the flight, with exclusive behind the scenes access.
    Join us as we go from cockpit briefing to pre-flight walkaround, then into the jumpseat on LH2658 for takeoff, cruise and landing from the pilot's perspective. We also get a glimpse at the cabin service and take a self-guided cabin tour of the A350 after all the passengers have deplaned. A dream day for an avgeek, not least because it was followed up by a return to Germany onboard the Boeing 747-8 (stay tuned for that installment coming in a video next week!)
    Make sure to follow Lufthansaviews on Instagram for lots of fun glimpses behind the scenes at one of the world's largest airlines: lufthansavi...

I must say the Cabin Crew is immaculate! Well done. The purple in economy however I'm not a fan of, reminds me of the cheap blue plastic you find in playgrounds equipment. Beautiful aircraft nonetheless.

The 747 was dirty and worn down and there was a bad air in the cabin the entire flight. On these +10 hour flights you really appreciate the low cabin altitude from the A350.

    For technology and cabin air pressure I prefer the A350. But when sitting in the cabin all depends on the seating - which airline, class, location etc. Hence, for short distance whatever is safe and at time is ok. For long hauls seating becomes no. 1 of priorities.

    I miss flying this in flight simulator, my VR headset isn’t working anymore and I can’t get a replacement since they aren’t supporting it anymore. I have to get a brand new one in order to fly this plane again
    The A350 is an absolute boss
