Hi Gabe I have commented on your previous videos. I mentioned previously that I was an ex airline manager and so have a real insight into the airline. world. I belive you have to give credit where credit is due. I just love the way you approach and cover the topics in your videos. There is something for the enthusiastic as well as the professional. You are so objective in your analysis and strike the perfect balance. I also thought your daughter was amazing in a previous video. I just wanted to say keep it up
Hahahaha. The Allegris roast was classic. Lovely video as always! I think Qantas has very similar seats on their A380 and 787s. Very comfortable and the ones closer to the window feel very private too. On the bedding piece, AF and KLM don't even given them on their longest flights (like the ones to SCL or EZE), what a shame.
@@airedition KLM mainly has that "sustainability" gimmick which is a facade in the name of cost cutting lol. I can't wait to hear your opinion on the amenity kit you received on your KLM flight to South Africa (I remember you told me about that flight). Waiting for the review ;)
I guess by your face at 6:18 that we can both agree that the Avionic Cocktail is delicious 😝😝 Besides that, I agree with all you say about LH. I tried their business on the 747 in June on JFK-FRA; the lack of privacy is the big negative point (on all their aircrafts type). Let's hope Allegris will bring some refreshing vibes at some point sometimes... PS: I certainly will be hated by a lot of people commenting here... but... I like the music you put on your videos 😄😄
It is delicious! And thank you for the music comment... I think that it works well to inject some energy into the videos, but I understand that it is not for everyone.
Great video as always! Not too keen on Lufthansa though...have had some sketchy experiences with them. And EDDF isn't all that friendly either for those of us connecting. Now, KLM on the other hand does get my vote hehe
Grate review as always buddy , the message I had always when flying Business on Lufthansa : you want a better service fly with us on First and I think your review on this flight goes in line with such statement as the service was not polished . However your love to the A350 made this experience just fine and not so bad 😊🙈
I like Dash 8s. They are really quiet, considering they are turboprops. I was impressed with the Khruangbin reference. Full marks for that.:) Lufthansa's air cushion problem exists in their A340s. They are super uncomfortable. I had two back-to-back in December, and both had the same auto-inflating and deflating seat cushions.
@@airedition Lufthansa loves making things complicated🙂 That's also why Allegris is so late. When Lufthansa introduced their Diamond lie flat seats in 2012 on the 747-8 they used seats without air cushion. Then someone at Lufthansa decided why not make it more complicated and used air cushion seats for the retrofit of the 747-400, the A380, the A340 and the A330: 🙂 Of course , the air cushion seats immediately caused problems 🙂🙂
Lufthansa business class. Forget it, until they've got a consistent product on board, they won't see me. Interestingly flying from Frankfurt to Jo'burg soon, the local charter airline Condor that has a product that is streets ahead of LH, so it's Condor for us.
I agree ! I took the LH 744 in business last year because I wanted to go on a 747 once in my life; then I also tried the business on Condor on a flight to Toronto, it's way better. As Frequent Flyer I so wish Condor could join Star Alliance ! 🙂
I flew one of these birds from DEL to MUC in Business back in 2022 and loved the seat and the privacy...could have been the better choice for LH instead of the overhyped & complicated Allegris seats...
That’s a great looking airport. Most airports in the U.K. are way below International standard and even the much praised Heathrow T2 looks banal and generic compared to the new one in Portland. My last long haul on Lufthansa was a few years ago on a B747, upper deck. It was nice but nothing special, nowhere near as good as Business class on A.F. which I now use.
I had two flights with those seats in 2022, Munich to Toronto, and I it was fine. But don´t get too excited, those 4 A350 will leave the fleet in 2 or 3 years😀
Hi, going to korea for my 40th in may and tempted to treat myself to buisness. However when i go to pick the seat business is 2 x 2 x 2 config, its the a350 too, is this correct?
So you’re already booked on Lufthansa and considering upgrading? If so, depends on the price. It’s a pretty inferior offering but of course far better than economy.
The footage for this channel is often delayed, this trip was taken during the fall. Flightradar24 is more time sensitive, so I post those trips slightly closer to the time that I take them; however, even that trip was taken before the new year. This video covers the last leg of the travel that I did to visit Airbus in Canada and Alabama.
The 18 years alegris roast was wild 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Roasts that are true always hit the hardest...
@@liebnhaider and totally justified

That is very kind of you, thank you so much! I will make sure to let her know as well ;)

It really seems so wrong to skip out on something relatively cheap that enhances the experience so greatly

THANK YOU for this review. My Lufthansa flight has this set up in a couple months and I have never seen this set up when I was booking.
I'm glad it helped! If you are still waiting for a couple of months, there is always a chance of an equipment swap, for better or worse...
It's like i walking in Helsinki Vantaa airport 😉❤️ What a beautiful airport @ Portland ❤ And A other video with the beautiful A350, awesome report 😊
PDX airport looks great
It's beautiful!
Love the new PDX main terminal - flew through it a few times in October doing a few rounds in the NW.
It's a stunner for sure!

Yeah I would happily take the KLM / AMS layover over LH / FRA any day. Munich isnt that bad though.

Thank you! Unfortunately this configuration doesn't have a first class, but if it did I would be keen to try it.

Yeah I'm not sure why anyone ever thought that that would be a good feature to implement, but as long as they learn for the future what can you do!

The Condor 339's are beautiful aircraft!

The Allegris product will be the pinnacle of inconsistency since Allegris business class alone offers 7 different seats 😞
Which tail numbers have this?
There's four of them, D-AIVA through D-AIVD
Thank you
even SAA 333 vibes with red touches though
For sure!

Right, maybe would have been a smarter simpler choice for them!

Lufthansa has a remarkable ability to be very consistently mediocre.
An SAS A350 business class seat without SAS miserable long-haul cabin crew is 👌
I quite like a lot of the SAS cabin crew actually! They just take some time to warm up in some instances.
Had this inflation/deflation issue on SAS a ton of times, but probably only on the A330, if memory serves. Super-annoying.
I had two flights with those seats in 2022, Munich to Toronto, and I it was fine. But don´t get too excited, those 4 A350 will leave the fleet in 2 or 3 years😀
Where are they going? I would think they would probably just reconfigure them unless they are leased
@@airedition The 4 ex PR are leased. They are called "Sprinter", leaving the fleet back to the Leasing company.
Yvr is my home airport
Good smooth presentation etc. Quiet not over the top voice over as usual. Only one comment……the jumpy repetitive electronic “music”.
Hi, going to korea for my 40th in may and tempted to treat myself to buisness. However when i go to pick the seat business is 2 x 2 x 2 config, its the a350 too, is this correct?
Yes most of their A350 still have the old 2x2x2
@airedition thank you, worth it do you think ?
@@samwalker540are you traveling alone?
@@airedition yes I will be ,it's 22hr in total haha
So you’re already booked on Lufthansa and considering upgrading? If so, depends on the price. It’s a pretty inferior offering but of course far better than economy.
Stick around Vancouver next time! We have excellent Asian food.
Love Vancouver!
@@airedition You mean "Vancounver" :D
03:39 🧈
Welcome to my city
Thanks!
Awful , distracting music … particularly between 02:00 and 02:30.
Same seat as Delta's A339s and A350s amongst others.
Delta has put a lot more into their cabins than LH has though
I thought you were born in Sweden?
Born in New York, live in Sweden now.
Wait a minute. On the "other" channel you're in Antarctica. Is one of you AI? Is this a scam? I don't know what to think now.

Allegris is not better
Hah!
