    Ah.....for quite some time Josh, I have been trying to makes out your accent ! Now I know, a mix of German, Aussie, and Asian !😁 That seat was definitely gross !🤢.... especially the headphones. I thought ( from what I have seen on KZread) , that all headphones came in sealed bags, even before covid ! Glad to see at least the crew were excellent.

    As a proud LH Purser I can only apologise for what you have experienced onboard and I'm embarrassed myself. But usually such feedback meets deaf ears at the higher management since they don't think very highly of "Internet Personalities". However, paying customers shouldn't experience something like this given that the airline promised something else in shiny and expensive PR campaigns...

    The one time a few years back that I did a long-haul flight with LH the crew was great. The economy seats, however, were the worst I've ever experienced. I am not a big person but even sitting straight up my knees were against the seat in front of me. And the seat was incredibly narrow. It was like being in a cage. So many of us on that flight spent a lot of time standing and walking around the plane because the seats became torturous after a while. The crew understood. They were friendly, chatted with us, offered snacks in the galley area and never demanded that we sit down until it was time to prepare for landing. There wasn't an option for business class, only first class. I vowed never to fly LH again unless it was a short flight or simply unavoidable. I'm sorry to hear that LH management doesn't listen to feedback. I'm sure it's costing them customers.

    Yes Lufthansa seems to be tone deaf most of the time. Beside the clealiness, I don't understand why their seats are always 10 years behind. Look at QR, SQ, even AF has better seats. Even the seat advertised in 2017 won't be for another 1 year. I believe the only reason anyone flies LH is because most germans would choose to by national pride or convenience (direct connection). Anyway, I hope things will improve.

I just can't listen or read another, I'm sorry, but really another moron who has absolutely no clue complaining about airlines "taking their tax money". those people should just either inform themselves or just shut up and take the train. rant over.

    @@hpfend the problem isn’t that they "took tax money", the problem is what they actually did with it. The government gave them money not to pay out dividends or bonuses. Which they did. They gave money so that Lufthansa wouldn’t fire a bunch of employees, which they did anyway. That is the problem. The German government now has a 20% stake in Lufthansa and they did jack shit for it. At least for the year 2020, they were forced to halt payouts in 2021. They paid out for 2019, in 2020 even though they were actively looking for a bailout. Which was twice the airline’s worth.

    She clearly made you feel uncomfortable by asking what you were doing when it was obvious you were filming yourself. You were not making a scene and were being quiet and orderly. The camera was focused on you and you only. Rather than say, "What are you doing?" she could have said, "Can I help you with anything?" She came across more like the Stazi than a Brand Ambassador for the airline. After watching this video, I will never fly Lufthansa. Lufthansa reminds me of BA - old flight attendants and a filthy dirty product. This airline is so out of touch with the customer they need a bailout from the German gov't to stay afloat. The service and cleanliness on Qatar, Etihad, or Emirates is far superior and they have great lounges where they give you a great selection of food and drinks, not just a bottled water.

    I've only flown business class once, and it was with Lufthansa from JFK to Frankfurt (I planned a trip for me and my companion who then paid for the business class seat as a thank you). The trip over was very nice with a great flight attendant. The only down side was when I ordered my appetizer I was told they were out of it. But when I said I would then skip it (which was fine with me), she 'found' some. She also recommended a restaurant and meal at a small island we were planning to visit, which we had and was amazing. However the way back was completely the opposite experience. I'm a very nervous flier and like to sit by the window so I can look out and see what's going on. After we took off, a woman in the middle seats wanted to sleep, so the flight attendant 'asks' if I will put my window shade down, but he was already leaning over and pulling it down before I could even answer. This was a 10am flight. Then when I went to get my headphones, they were covered in some white powder. When I flagged him down again he just responded 'oh it's probably just some crushed candy or something'. So I had to prompt, 'well can i get some clean ones, or something to clean these with'? Apparently there were no other headphones, so he just got some covers for the ones I had. But he made it out like what was wrong with me not wanting to put some dirty garbage on my head.

    I can only comment based on personal experience. Pre pandemic, I mainly travelled on Lufthansa Group Airlines (mainly Lufthansa and Swiss with a 60/40 split between them). Always in their European Business Class, always with a transfer at a hub, or an overnight break in a local hotel. I would say that the Lufhansa Lounges had the edge over those for Swiss, but I was more than satisfied with both. Again, in the whole (with some notable exceptions both very positive and very negative) I have been more than happy with the ground service and cabin service, but would give Swiss the definitive edge there. The same would go for their on-board food. While I haven't had recent experience of other airlines, other than Jet2 (who performed so much better than I was expecting for the price) and Helvetic providing service on behalf of Swiss, so to try to rate my experience againt the market would be downright dishonest, but from watching your excellent videos I am aware that there are better (and worse) offerings around. What really surprised me is how Skytrax can rate Lufthansa above Swiss. I accept that they might take the long range produce with dedicated seats (rather than a blocked centre) into account, but to be of any use to me as a passenger I would need to see separate ratings for European Business, and Economy, Long range First, Business, and Economy. As it stands, it would appear to me that a Skytrax rating (however it is calculated or obtained) is only of use to the Airline for its advertising materials!

    I was refused my flight from USA to Brazil because my US covid test did not mention the time it was done. I flew Delta. Had to stay overnight and do the test next day. Hotel was paid by Delta but not my second test. Spent $300 in tests. Just an alert for anyone flying to Brazil. Love your reviews!

    The crews are most of the time very nice, but i prefer flying with LOT (polish national carrier). Service as well as the hardproduct are similar. Warsaw is quite a nice airport for connecting flights and LOT does quite a lot for repeating customers. I sometimes get a businessclass update free of charge. At least it used to be that way, before covid. Right now i have no idea. On the other hand i used to fligh between germany and Japan for business. The best carrier in my opinion is Japan Airlines. Otherwise i actually prefer Lufthansa groub & LOT to ANA. On an ANA flight you always feel like an alien as european who understands japanese... p.s. Lufthansa group airlines are all pretty similar. I would always choice the fastes connection or the cheapest flight. But the difference between swiss, lufthansa and austrian airline is most of the times marginal.

    We were flying Lufthansa in April 2021 Frankfurt to Cape Town and back. While Crew was very friendly and professional the reduced service "because of Corona" was a desaster. No Choice in Eco for meal. Just vegetarian pasta and a wrap for breakfast. Only Drinkservice for Dinner and Breakfast plus 1 0,5l bottle of water. And that was it for an 11,5h flight + boarding and waiting. Food was also quite bad on the way back. Each way we got of the plane hungry - so I gave the Airline the new Name "Hungerhansa".

    In August 2020, I went back home to Dubai for the summer holidays. At Amsterdam when doing the COVID test at Schiphol, they told to carry a printout since it'll be required. I was asked for the printout during check in at Schiphol and at Dubai on immigration. They kept the copy of the printout with them. Some people at Dubai were sent back to get a printout at a printing facility before immigration at Dubai. Might have changed now. I guess its best to confirm.

    I hope that the company sees this video and does something about the cleaning issue. Over all I agree with you that it is far from a 5 star. I might give them a 3.5 maybe, and that would be just based on the crew and food, I really enjoy your videos because they are honest and non-bias. You seem to always find the bad and the good and point out both equally which I really like and I hope the company(s) does also and I also hope they reach out to you from time to time and show that they take your experience seriously and review what they are doing. Thank you and keep up the good travels

    Nice review like always! But it is sad that Lufthansa actually can't cope with the standards they should provide. I used to be very fixated on Lufthansa due to family working for them, flying a lot when I was a kid. Of course, the experience then was much different, even if only due to the age. But I remember the kids bonus book they had. I filled at least two of them. Each flight was documented and signed by the captain of the flight. Most times, I was invited to the cockpit in order to get my signature - impossible today, of course. Still, I have very nice memories of Lufthansa, did a job training from school at their technical base (different company, I know ;-) ) Today I have to say, it is nothing special to fly Lufthansa and doesn't differ flying national to their budget carrier Eurowings. From the airlines I have flown in my life, my heart was caught by a little, in Europe unknown, airline: Cebu Pacific! Since I flew with them first in 2014, it got my favorite airline, even though it's an asian budget carrier. But even flying Emirates to Manila, I am always looking forward to my short haul with Cebu! Lufthansa lost it's status a long time....

    Great Review of the so called 5* airline. I get the feeling that at the start of COVID airlines (including Lufthansa) really made a big focus and deal on the cleanliness and sanitising of the aircraft to get people back flying again. However in my experience, I feel this has begun to fall short. It almost feels like it’s a cost saving measure. I got this impression on some other airlines too. ✈️

    We always fly Lufthansa when we go to Europe. On a recent trip I got an offer from LH to upgrade to Business from Premium Economy. It cost me $1600 for me and my husband, I think. It was the worst flight I’ve ever had because you cannot sleep in those awful business class seats. The configuration is terrible. I did not sleep that night. My only other time in Bus Class was with British. Their BC was flawless. We had room and plexiglass dividers providing privacy, and an actual bed! Real sheets, real pillows - I was asleep before dinner and slept thru till breakfast. Best flight ever! I’m just sorry I missed dinner. My husband had mine and assured me it was delicious.

    My airline normally do the cleaning check in the cabin and then we would confirm n sign off for the cleaners to leave the aircraft before flights, plus security search is another opportunity to take a closer look at things n take our left over trash, cuz we have search every seat, corner, floors ect, So to end up w a crumbs filled seat, the clean has been overlooked at least twice.

They enjoyed there experience on BA A350 with the downgrade meal service being served in a box, versus LH. Though I've always enjoyed LH and the German quality and also being a star frequent flier, despite lagging behind SQ, EK, and QR.
