Its cool to see you got the new 787 on this route. Its been serviced by that A330 for a long time and once or twice with the A340....This is my city so I hang out there spotting alot....

To be honest for me I would choose to fly the A330 over the 787, every time I have flown the 787 I have been really underwhelmed. I was supposed to fly in a 330-Neo a few weeks ago and was gutted when they changed it at the last minute to a 321-Neo, but I will be really interested to see how that stacks up to the 787 when I finally get a chance to fly in one.
Enjoy your travel with your sister travelling the philippines. .keep posting also your video .new subcriber ..

Hey my cabin bag's width is 1.5cm bigger. Could it be a problem. Anyone knows please tell. (Lufthansa flight via Frankfurt)
I am looking forward to fly with them👌 they know what they are doing😉🤗. The food served depends on the country of departure.... So try depart from Italy.... Yummy...I had never experienced problems with food provided... 🤔It is better if you eat because 😉if a worst case scenario happens at least the food provides you energy😉be smart and also take vitamins with you...and keep always your seat belt fasten due to the turbulence that is increasing more and more.
Nice video but I think 5/5 for comfort is too generous from the clips. I think it makes a difference for sure when you are travelling with 2 others and you can book 3 seats together with people that you know. So you are not too bothered about other people hogging the armrest or the person in front of you reclining, or climbing over strangers to get to the bathroom.
Thank you your video review! I'm leaving on Lufthansa for the first time, alone for a 10 hour flight. This was helpful!

I fly Lufthansa all the time going to Greece. It’s funny bc last night I watched a frequent long haul flyer and she said her carry in has only been weighed once in her entire life of 100s of flights….. and it was Lufthansa lol. So just be prepared in case!

@@chadalexander The airline is owned by Lufthansa. You might enjoy the airline's 'The People Behind Swiss' video, here on KZread. A magnificent piece of film-making. Pay close attention to the clever scene-transitions.
9 hours, you want trying from Sydney to London its more than twice the time its a true mission.
The problem I have with Lufthansa is their personal item size
All that matters to me is that Lufthansa uses Airbus and not Boeing. I’ll have to fly out of Frankfurt which I hate but to get to Heathrow or Amsterdam I’d have to take a 737 max.
If you think Lufthansa is bad, you haven't seen Air Canada
Unfortunately, this flight was just barely shorter than the minimum length for which Lufthansa serves a second full hot meal, which is 10 hours. Other airlines are better in this regard, such as British Airways whose threshold is 8.5 hours.

Informative video. We flew Lufthansa 2 years ago business on business but we were going back this September and thinking going economy to save money so we can spend more there….we actually tried to book our flights a few weeks ago premium economy flex but the website has been awful when we got to the payment section. Nothing goes through CC went through but nothing on the site. I wish I could speak to someone that speaks good English so we can explain what’s happening but wasn’t sure if anyone else is experiencing this? Watching the video might turn out to be a blessing that the flight reservation didn’t go through. This video helps. I will say my wife flew to Switzerland when she was younger and said economy wasn’t bad that she remembered Thanks for the info and video! By the way is beer, wine and liquor included? Btw…We’re from Houston.

Lufthansa is a terrible airlines!!!! In the last 2 years they worsen so much! I have to fly with them a lot since it is the only direct flight from Barcelona to Frankfurt-am-Mein airport... In 2023 Lufthansa canceled my flight and did not send me any notification, they proceeded the refund only after I asked for it. Also It was the once in lifetime experience to fly with a cabin size luggage under my seat, so my legs were on the bag during 2h flight. That was a brilliant idea of Lufthansa's stuff because there was no space for my luggage (not only mine). At the same time smaller backpacks were in the upper storage... In 2024 Spring they just made a refund without sending any notice and I don't have any booking anymore. I was lucky to discover this by myself. They charged my card and they kept my money for a week, and now they say I must buy the tickets with a new price. Last 3 times I used a train to get from Barcelona to Frankfurt only not to deal with Lufthansa, and I was so write!!!
Did you have to pay to chose your seats on the flight? I’m considering booking a flight with them & hoping there’s no hidden costs as they don’t mention anything about it

Normally you do but if you select them during online check in (opens 24 hours before departure) you can select them for free.
Thank you for your review. I will be flying with them from Johannesburg to Frankfurt to Tampa next week. They don't allow you to pick your seat for the 2nd leg until 2-3 days before the flight. Im not liking that at all.

Don't ever fly with Lufthansa. I have been waiting over six months now for them to compensate me for losing my luggage and their customer service is completely uninterested in even so much as lifting a finger to help resolve this to the day. Countless emails, phone calls, forms, and live chats, still unresolved to this day.
