Friendly correction: Frankfurt is not now nor it had ever been a German capital :) Berlin is the capital now, whilst Bonn used to be the Capital of West Germany during the cold war partition. Oh... and by the way... Amsterdam is also not Capital of the Netherlands 😂🤣 The Hague (Den Haag) is and had been ever since the Dutch freed themselves from the Spanish colonisation. We love our American visitors 🥰 (Otherwise, an amazing video, and even more amazing price you've managed to find to enjoy first class luxury, congratulations - skills that you do have are far more important than knowledge of European capitals 😎)
I was about to go there. The closest Frankfurt ever was to being a German capital was the Frankfurt Parliament in 1848. (Then, you needed to be a history buff to know that.)
@@Archduke17 There was also Frankfurt school in 1960s... sometimes I think it made Frankfurt the Capital of the World - ideological followers of the Frankfurt school are still rulling over all of us in one way or another 😂🤣
@@outoftheframe1280 I stand corrected. For all of my 57 years of life this far I believed The Hague was the Capital 🤣😅 In fact it is officially designated as "The Seat of the Dutch Government" which in your country appears to mean something different from the notion of the Capital City. I also wish to say that I remember seeing something resembling a Royal Palace on my walks around your town. And remember wondering to myself: "But what is it doing here? Why it is not in the Hague? 😂🤣 Too many joints being smoked in the vicinity and the overwhelming smell of burning dope was obviously affecting my reasoning at the time. I apologise 🙂 Anyway I think Naarden should be the Capital, I also love s-Hertogenboesch and of big cities Eindhoven is by far my favourite. Netherlands is a very nice country, every time I was there, I enjoyed my time. The Dutch are kind and hospitable people. Thank you! ❤️
747s will always be the best airplane product of all times. I have flown the 747s all over the entire world since 1970. I do not understand the demise of the 747s == fuel costs, etc. ? This video was absolutely superb and highly enjoyable.
Thank you for a wonderfully entertaining trip to Chicago! You have done an excellent job with your video of this unforgettable trip and your efforts at photographing and commentary as your flight went across the sky. You would make a superb individual to escort flyers across our planet! Well Done! And again... Thank You! RS.
Welcome back with this wonderful vlog. Your vlogs are always so well done and interesting. A dream is to fly Lufthansa’s 747-800 First Class, but alas, my never happen. Thanks for taking us along on your journey! 👍
Private investigator Quintin, always curious also under the seats 😂😂😂😂 next time you should make your driver stop in front of the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, then you don’t have to do the awkward walk from the arrival area. The colorful rubber duck is cute❤️❤️❤️
Haha hey I’m always looking for a different angle! I had stayed at the airport hotel the night before so I wasn’t able to pre-arrange a driver (which I believe is complimentary for First Class). But the walk was amusing lol
The new Germany was born in May 1949. From then until 1990 Bonn was our capital. After we got reunited with the GDR Berlin is our capital. Place of all government buildings and our parlament. Lufthansa wasn't allowed to fly to Berlin during the cold war. Only Pan Am ( USA ), Air France and British were allowed to fly from West Germany via three airways to the island West Berlin. During that time Frankfurt developed itself step by step to a intercontinental hub. Lufthansa resumed flights from December 1989 on. Their promise to make Berlin their main hub again was never kept. Frankfurt is their Nr.1 hub followed by Munich. Berlin doesn't play even a small role in Lufthansa's movie....
Very nice video! But at 4:40, Frankfurt is not Germany’s capital city, and never was. It was Berlin, then changed to Bonn between the war and reunification, now it is again Berlin.
I’m with you on the lie flat seat. I saw the seat control and I was like you mean it doesn’t turn into a bed? 🤦🏻😂 plus you get the upper deck and the lie flat in business class! I’d want all that although all that food looked delicious. 😋
It does look like a very good value for the money. On my last economy flight there was a baby across the aisle, a baby in front of them, and a baby behind me. And general airport washrooms can be horrendous by mid-day (get a VIP or First Class Lounge).
Not halfway thru your video and already I'm impressed with the unique, shadow shot of the jet over clouds, then ground. Nice. Shot we only need to see once, but no one ever showed before; the mechanical guts under the seat. So this is how it chewed up my ipad. 😏
Very much agree with your comment re business versus first class. Yes, the liquor and food are better in first, but smart fliers don't drink a lot of liquor and even in first the food generally suffers by comparison to a good restaurant. Taking everything into account--food, liquor, more space, extra attention on the ground and in the air--first is pleasant, but is it worth often twice the price of a business class seat? Based on recent experiences with Emirates and Air France first class, I'd say no.
It is... The luxury of a full bed is worth it I'd say.. Also first terminal or concorde lounge are much more pleasant... And no quatar qsuites are not close! Just the Privacy is nice.
I would really like you to do a British Airways A380 business class trip report from Los Angeles (LAX) to London Heathrow (LHR) on the upper deck. Thank you and this video was great!
Next time, try a dollop of caviar on the toasted bread, and add some of the other toppings. It will mellow out the saltiness of the straight up caviar, and the other add-ons should compliment the flavor nicely. My personal preference would be to skip the caviar, grab a couple of those pretzels, and wash them down with a beer! 🍺 Prost!
Wow! Totally awesome video! I would definitely give it a five star rating! Enjoyed every minute of it from start to finish! Everyone should hit the like button! Great job Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!
Hey Quintin. Hope all is well. Here are the airlines that you should rake in the near future: JetBlue Airways: New York (JFK) - London (LHR) B6 1107 (29A) Play Airlines: London (STN) - Keflavik (KEF) Icelandair: Keflavik (KEF) - Seattle (SEA) Delta Airlines: Seattle (SEA) - Anchorage (ANC) Alaska Airlines: Anchorage (ANC) - New York (JFK) I am also encouraging you to upload a little bit more trip reports as often as possible, similar to your upload schedule prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as encouraging you to take the following airlines on this list. Icelandair currently flies Boeing 737 MAX between KEF and SEA, as well as a WOW Air successor trademarked as Play Airlines. I'd suggest you'd try those airlines, as they have great onboard products. Hope to see these trip reports on UA-cam in the near future!
Dont find the seat too appetising compariing to the best First Class seats out there. Lacking the privacy, is a big letdown. Even business class on a lot of airlines have much better privacy lol. But other than that they nailed the other elements which is great!
I started flying Lufthansa First Class back in the ‘60’s when they had their 707 Intercontinental Jets. At that time, their First Class service was dubbed “Senator Service” and if memory serves me correctly, the red rose served as its mascot … a tradition that is still present to this day. My favorite seat/s are either 1A or 1K. 😉👍🏻. I really enjoy the inflight experience aboard Lufthansa and of course when transiting in FRA, I schedule a couple hour layover to enjoy the First Class Terminal to refreshen up with a hot shower or soaking bath. Then lunch and continue onto Sweden or Switzerland depending which Sibling I’m going to visit. Chicago O’Hare still holds a special place in my heart (even though I don’t live in Chicago anymore) because my childhood home was only 5 miles East of it. Thanks for sharing your experience Q 😉👍🏻. P.S. IMHO, those Polaris Passengers on that United flight above you are not even remotely close to enjoying the experience nor food quality that Lufthansa Business Class Passengers are. 🫤
Lufthansa first class terminal is truly fab! Just go there directly if arriving by car! No need to enter the main airport. Please do not film other passengers - not even from behind, no one likes that!!!
Ive done this many times and the terminal is amazing. There’s nothing like a soaker tub after a Trans-Atlantic red eye. Being driven to the plane and they put your bag in the overhead, such an amazing experience.
Thanks for sharing and for being so open with your privacy. "But" Frankfurt is just a Lufthansa Hub, not a capital and in fact Germanys Number 5 by inhabitants...
Did an LAX to FRA trip - upstairs - wife and I were the only passengers - we got crazy service - she slept a lot I enjoyed every tidbit and drink I could - thank you United/Lufthansa and staff
Just flew LHR Frankfurt to San Francisco on 747-8 Business. The seat was more comfortable than Swiss Business 777. Not as much as much food as First, but I certainly didn’t leave hungry and the cabin crew were friendly. One even addressed me by name!
Row 2 looks more private, you don't have someone adjacent, across the aisle as in the last row. I would be very annoyed to sit so close to a stranger in First Class with just the aisle to separate us. Excellent trip report, food looks First Class
Good afternoon from Brazil, Man! Nice video, thanks for that. I LOVE the BOEING 747-8i and I also impressed by the quality of the services you shown in this video. Lufthansa is really incredible and I want to travel with this Aircraft someday and I'm already have a Lufthansa Account to do that. I sent a compliment for them for the services and especially for keep the Queen of Skies on their fleet. I've just just subscribed and I will follow your content. Thanks and have a nice day. PS: I fly with the Boeing 747-8i on the Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Sorry you are confusing the capital ( Amsterdam ) with the administrative and governmental centre , The Hague . Amsterdam IS the capital .

Sometimes, its not because you should. But its because you simply can. This flight is on my bucket list.
The 747-8 is gorgeous. A work of art.
Thank you for video! A real report without any exaggerations or show. We need more like this on UA-cam.
Best review of a airline flight I've ever seen! No arrogant remarks, no insults, just observations!!! Bravo X Bravo!!!!
I always welcome a vlog on 747’s. My cousin’s husband was a 747 captain in the heyday. I enjoy your presentations always! Lots of ambience! Best! 👍✈️

Queen of the Skies still lives on!!!
25:08 a nice "high"light, overall very nice well made video
So nostalgic flying on a 747! I've been contemplating on visiting Germany again to buy new and used music.
Thanks for the effort taken to share with us another superb presentation Quintin. That Lufthansa experience was quite one to remember!
Glad you enjoyed it Pierre! Thank you!
Thanks you Lufthansa for keeping the B747-8 and A340-600 flying 🪽 you're one of the best airliners in the world 🤍💙
Airliner means plane, you should’ve said airline.
I REALLY LOVE THE OLD IS GOLD OF LUFTHANSA.
Welcome back with this wonderful vlog. Your vlogs are always so well done and interesting. A dream is to fly Lufthansa’s 747-800 First Class, but alas, my never happen. Thanks for taking us along on your journey! 👍
Same for me.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL ! WONDERFUL VIDEO ! PLEASE ACCEPT MY DEEPEST GRATITUDE FOR FILMING THE VIDEO SOOOO BEAUTIFULLY !
The Queen of the Skies is a beautiful airplane. I've enjoyed several flights on this type of aircraft. Thanks Quintin for a great video💚👌👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it Scott! The 747 will always be the best ✈️
Love it the queen 👑 kommt seen Yankee tango in the background she's my favorite Lufthansa 🇩🇪✌️♥️ guten Tag
Amazing video! The only thing is that Berlin is Germany’s capital city 😉

Glad to see the A340 at 8:11 is still in service. They used to fly one between Portland, OR and Frankfurt. Exceptional business class.

A most excellent video with a great guide and host. Thank you
I always love the Boeing 747-830 old livery and the new livery but the gold logo will still live on.
Thank you for sharing, nice to see vdo. 🥰
Good comment pure indulgence
Thanks бро за новый классный видос , благодарю 🤝 Like👍, 747-8 самый лучший самолёт , обожаю его!
Your videos are amazing and this one is one of your finest! Thanks for sharing!
since when frankfurt is german's capital?
Never was... However Frankfurt has been the connection hub for Lufthansa in Germany, since at least the mid eighties or earlier
Must really hack off Berlin with that comment lol 😢
Frankfortt-Am-Mein was never the capital. I flew there in June 1962 from Cairo on BBOC ‘COMET’!
That level of education !wow I didn’t know 😂
I want to go! Wow wonderful Lufthansa is the best…..keep those 747’s !
Thanks!
Very nice video! But at 4:40, Frankfurt is not Germany’s capital city, and never was. It was Berlin, then changed to Bonn between the war and reunification, now it is again Berlin.
Thanks QFS!!
I remember flying on her in November she a beauty 🔥
There’s nothing quite like flying the Queen 👑
El 747 de Lufthansa es un símbolo de una manera de ser y de viajar. Me parece espectacular que sigan utilizándoles incluso más allá de 2030.
Frankfurt is not Germany’s capital city…
He's an american.
What a massive plane!
A beautiful and magnific sound in your vídeos!
BUT HIS NAILS!!!!!! 🤑🤑🤑
His main job is at Jiffy Lube
For the love of all things tea... Please let the bag steep just a little longer... Please... I have been twice heartbroken in this video 🤣
Hey buddy, awesome flight very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Thanks man! I definitely need to get better at pumping these out, I’ve filmed dozens of cool flights so far this year
Nicely done mate 👌
Frankfurt is no the Capital city of Germany. It’s Berlin. But Frankfurt is the financial hot spot of Germany
Daddy and Mom LOVE YOU ❤enjoy You trip🙏🏼
Finally Q, been waiting for this one for so long👌😀
From MEERUT _INDIA
GOOD JOURNEY
THANK U.
Amazing work as always Quintin! Do you have a playlist of your Lo-Fi music? It’s so classy and relaxing!
Amazing video 😊
I Havent Experience B747-8 Jet.Great Video And Info
Very enjoyable and informative video
Loved your catching other jets in flight...very cool!
Beautiful video man!
I’m with you on the lie flat seat. I saw the seat control and I was like you mean it doesn’t turn into a bed? 🤦🏻😂 plus you get the upper deck and the lie flat in business class! I’d want all that although all that food looked delicious. 😋
It's a full bed on the 747 😊
It does look like a very good value for the money. On my last economy flight there was a baby across the aisle, a baby in front of them, and a baby behind me. And general airport washrooms can be horrendous by mid-day (get a VIP or First Class Lounge).
Amazing video! :)
That was a quite enjoyable video. Very interesting how you purchased this ticket in Tunisia for less than half what would normally be charged. Thanks!
Súper video 👍
Cool Plane ✈️
Not halfway thru your video and already I'm impressed with the unique, shadow shot of the jet over clouds, then ground. Nice.
Shot we only need to see once, but no one ever showed before; the mechanical guts under the seat. So this is how it chewed up my ipad. 😏
Fly on the Pacific Island Hopper sometime please!!! Or the Caribbean Island Hopper!!!
Shut up.

Exemplary service with delicious looking meal service
Next time, try a dollop of caviar on the toasted bread, and add some of the other toppings. It will mellow out the saltiness of the straight up caviar, and the other add-ons should compliment the flavor nicely.
My personal preference would be to skip the caviar, grab a couple of those pretzels, and wash them down with a beer! 🍺 Prost!
I'd love to make this flight one day, and when I do, I'll wear something a little nicer than a t-shirt.
I always wanted to fly on a 747!
A beautiful Tripreport. Thx. I hope I can fly one Time with LH First Class. Thx a lot. Best wishes. Daniel
So, sitting up front, you get the same nose wheel sounds you'd hear in the cockpit of most other planes.
✈️👍 Enjoyable informative vlog!
Excell🎉video loved it
Wow! Totally awesome video! I would definitely give it a five star rating! Enjoyed every minute of it from start to finish! Everyone should hit the like button! Great job Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!
Noone can match Airbus first class ❤❤❤❤
Are you an Airbus Salesman?
Hey Quintin. Hope all is well. Here are the airlines that you should rake in the near future:
JetBlue Airways: New York (JFK) - London (LHR) B6 1107 (29A)
Play Airlines: London (STN) - Keflavik (KEF)
Icelandair: Keflavik (KEF) - Seattle (SEA)

Wow you were really treated first class
Did you ask the other guests before taping them, or pixel them instead?
Dont find the seat too appetising compariing to the best First Class seats out there. Lacking the privacy, is a big letdown. Even business class on a lot of airlines have much better privacy lol. But other than that they nailed the other elements which is great!

Fresh orange juice - in a plastic "glass"? OMW - I've seen enough!
Fly on the renovated Lufthansa First Class Suites sometime please!!!
No.
Just flew LHR Frankfurt to San Francisco on 747-8 Business. The seat was more comfortable than Swiss Business 777. Not as much as much food as First, but I certainly didn’t leave hungry and the cabin crew were friendly. One even addressed me by name!
Great video..well done
Man MSFS has really gone a long way. Everything looks so real...........
That fold out table will take your eye out if youre not careful
Beautiful plane 👏👏👏
The capital of Germany is Berlin.
Nice vdo. I hv watched full
Great job 👏🏻
Row 2 looks more private, you don't have someone adjacent, across the aisle as in the last row. I would be very annoyed to sit so close to a stranger in First Class with just the aisle to separate us. Excellent trip report, food looks First Class
Excellent video.
Die Ausstattung der Kabine, für 1. Klasse, ist sehr bescheiden 😊
