If the extra cost isn't large, the legroom would make it worthwhile on a 7-hour trip for those of us with long legs. The meal might not satisfy the appetite of a young, active person, but it looked quite adequate for older folks like me.
I flew on Long Haul on Lufthansa's A340-300 and 747-8I and the IFE was so bad. It was half broken, small, the response was not good though the seats were the same then on this A330...
Been to Kenya last year and visited our partner schools in rural Makueni Country. Also we've been to Embu and Nairobi thanks to our awesome teachers. Thanks to all the Kenyans who made our trip so unforgettable, I wish all the best to you!
The thing I don’t get with premium economy, the jump up in price can often be double the price of an economy seat… for slightly more leg room and a ‘slightly nicer meal’. Occasionally you get cheap upgrades but if I’m paying £400 for a flight. I’m not paying £400 more to sit in premium economy which I’ve often seen.
Great report Felix, to me it definitely seemed worth the little extra cost. Unfortunately the return leg of my first trip with this airline was a 12 hour Bkk to Frankfurt in economy. Once seated I removed my shoes, placed them in the overhead and on settling in to my seat I discovered that the floor was very wet from a spillage on the incoming flight. My socks and feet were now wet and the aircraft was just finishing boarding. My requests for help fell on deaf ears and once airborne when the seat belt signs were turned off I again asked the same male crew member for help. His response was that if I continued to be bothersome then the police would be waiting for me in Frankfurt. So as not to be rude to the other passengers I kept the sodden socks on for 12 hours!
Nice trip report. Premium Economy is a good choice on long haul in most cases for most carriers. And yeah, you're right about that first meal being on the small side, would have expected a bit more. But the before landing "meal" was a joke to me. That's not a meal, but a snack, and looked insubstantial.
I've done PE on long haul flights on Singapore and JAL and with them it's definitely worth it. A lot of my enthusiasm is a result of the fact that those carriers are far better than any US flag carrier, in any class, and probably far better than most if not all European carriers.
I flew to Kenya last Year on Lufthansa (economy though) with my School as we spend 2 Weeks visiting our partner schools in rural Kenya. LH590 was our flight. Brings back some absolutely awesome memories of Kenya.
I agree! What a boring safety video haha. But ironically, it made me pay attention to the video as I was waiting for the "exciting" part to appear. Great trip report mate. Well done and thanks for sharing.
Hello Simply Aviation! Great video as always! On 14 October you will be on the last Alitalia flight, right? And please, document one of the first flights of ITA - Italia Trasporto Aereo! ;)
@@italianprince8858 Yeah I'm Italian! And I would be very keen if Simply Aviation made a trip-report on one of the last flights operated by Alitalia, since, as I think you already know, from 14 October Alitalia will cease to exist ...
The portion on the main course was too small I think. Although you were in premium economy class. It's not satisfying if you have small food portion when you're hungry though...
Nice report on what looked like a fairly ho-hum flight. The food service looked particularly mediocre--I would expect better from Lufthansa. Since I retired several years ago I have watched at least 250 flight report videos, from this and many other channels. Probably a quarter or a third of them have pointed out the coat hook, and in all that time I have seen exactly one video where anybody actually hung anything on the hook.
Also, can everyone please start telling us what the fares are for all these flights? Many of us want to take these flights ourselves so we'd know how to budget. Thank you!!! 😊
The views over the 🇸🇩Sudanese landscape 12:50 is one of the best if not best ever captured by the channel.. Breathtaking scenes of the nile and the also the capital Khartoum!
But as a slight criticism, please don't complain about the food. We here in America would KILL to have a meal that nice (or even a meal at all) on a domestic flight here.
LH have a very good premium economy and economy product. On the other hand, their business class isn't good, the business class seats are surely not 5 star standard. I'm quite surprised that the main meal was that small. The quality was good though,
Looks like a decent experience. I've only seen it on YT, but Korean Air's SuperM safety video probably would be the opposite extreme compared to Lufthansa, lol. That "dinner" looks more like a snack to me. Nice report.
hi Felix great report as always nice to see you with a bit more room than normal ,,LOL just a question i know how much you paid but what was the price of normal economy fare ?thanks and keep safe
I hope you had a great time... I was born in Mombasa 🥰 regarding the flight... uhm... have LH standards dropped? They used to have such sharp and clean lines! Is this an older aircraft, hecause yikes ... what a difference from when I flew Frankfurt - New York before the pandemic
No need for passport control between Austria and Germany because they are both in the Schengen area, but going onwards to Kenya (or any other country which is not in the Schengen area including the Republic of Ireland) requires an exit passport control. Flights between Schengen countries are treated as domestic, so you will not have passed through any official passport control.
@@neilpickup237 I know all that as an EU citizen you can travel anywhere in the schengen area (except the Republic of Ireland) without a passport. What I was asking was on your journey through the airport do they have a check point for flights leaving the EU before you get to the gate.,
@@francismcdonnell753 yes they do check before you get to the gate. Effectively the airport is divided into two zones with passport control between the two. As for EU citizens being able to move within the Schengen countries, this usually applies to all travellers once they have entered the zone. Although I believe that due to covid restrictions additional checks which may affect this ability (even for EU citizens) have been introduced.
8:08 That’s too bad. Growing up, Frankfurt was my home airport and I have many memories of LH Cargo’s sizable fleet of 747s and MD11s. Frankfurt back in the 80s and 90s was truly a special place with so much variety both in airlines and aircraft types. Sadly it’s a sign of the times as airlines consolidate and aircraft types diminish in quantity. 😢
Why would you pay for premium when the seat arms don’t go up so you can stretch out. In economy, since the flights are never full any more, you could get a whole row. Use that savings and buy great food at the departing airport.
Premium Economy is a mixed between Business and Economy Class. A better legroom than Economy, A better food services like in business class, and many more
"served alongside a bread roll fresh from the oven" is a phrase us regulars have heard a million times by now :)

My uncle flew on Lufthansa's A333 and said it was a very marvelous and well kept plane, I can see why he said that by watching this video!
On our flight to Nairobi I saw Alexandria and the pyramids. I recognized the coastline of Alexandria from being there in the spring.

fly Air NZ or Virgin Atlantic the seat is much better and business class quality meals
Yes, I see that frequently at LH, although one time I saw you could upgrade for 7€, seems to be very inconsistent
well you could say that about any premium class. Business is nice but not 3 to 4 times as nice.

The 'at seat' experience is a significant upgrade from their European Business Class.

Useful video for me as Lufthansa Prem Econ is on my research list for a trip.
Nice Premium Economy seat, but the catering seemed a bit frugal.
Nice trip report. In my last Lufthansa flight, I was given the option to upgrade to Premium Economy, I should of done it. lol
Uuuu was it an offer? Or was it just an option that u need to pay extra?
Why last? You won’t fly them anymore?

Happy halloween! 🎃🎃 btw nice video
Never tried Lufthansa before, but would love to in the future!
That's a really nice lunch! That dinner, not so much. I was actually thinking to save some of the lunch for dinner. I was so right!
Hi
Roughly can you remember how much was the internet purchase on the flight?
But as a slight criticism, please don't complain about the food. We here in America would KILL to have a meal that nice (or even a meal at all) on a domestic flight here.
Finally you made one for Kenya♥️
The food portion was for for a CHILD. This is why I always carry snacks and extra food with me.
This meals look so big to me 😂
Welcome back nice videos
I have doubt Are u paired for your lunch food??? Or it it free in Lufthansa airline

What about the recline one of the most important things about premium but never covered!
Hahaha, too true about the creepy computer animations on their safety video!
SWISS is even worse
7:41 бляяя, если ты ещё один на борту самолёта и видишь такую анимацию то реально становится страшно.

Don't know if I would spend a bit extra for this personally. It's good but I think I would just go Economy.
It is so impressive that you can upload a lot because of the pandemic

For me as a "big guy" it's worth it on long haul flights.
Good job,i like premium eco cabin
Why do you have to go through passport control when you’ve only traveled from Vienna to Frankfurt???? Do you mean airport security?
No need for passport control between Austria and Germany because they are both in the Schengen area, but going onwards to Kenya (or any other country which is not in the Schengen area including the Republic of Ireland) requires an exit passport control.
