TRIP REPORT | Emergency Landing on B747! | Frankfurt to Miami | Lufthansa Boeing 747-8i
Lufthansa Trip Report flying from Frankfurt to Miami onboard one of the Lufthansa Boeing 747-8i on a lovely autumn morning.
Wow! What a flight... what initially looked like an absolutely standard flight over the Atlantic turned out to be the first medical diversion recorded on the channel. Once we were already cruising over the Atlantic Ocean, well into it, the crew started moving medical kits and the catering service was not performed. Later, we saw how the plane was making a 180° turn and, a few minutes later, the captain informed us that we were diverting to Lisboa due to a medical emergency. We soon saw as well how we were dumping fuel to reduce the weight to the limits to land in Lisboa.
We stayed 2h30min in Lisbon. The refueling took a lot. Probably they had to use small trucks to refuel this huge beast, and that led to the bug waiting time. Finally, we started pushback in Lisbon and started, again, our flight to Miami, now scheduled to be 8h15min. The views both on arrival and departure from Lisbon were truly amazing.
After departure from Lisbon, we turned left and started to fly over the Atlantic for the next 7 hours. Nothing special here, just water everywhere until reaching Florida. Due to the diversion to Lisbon, our flight ended in Miami already during the night, which allowed us to enjoy a really beautiful night approach.
However, when it seemed that the flight had had it all with the emergency onboard... destiny, once again, showed us why we should look out the window: just before starting the descent to Miami, we were able to watch the takeoff of a SpaceX Falcon 9 from our window!! It was spectacular and something that I'm sure I'll never see again... Just Amazing!
About the catering service, the crew first served some drinks, just after departing from Frankfurt. Then, they started the main catering service, but they only served the first rows, as the medical problem arose. In the end, we stayed more than 5 hours (+1h of boarding and little delay on departure) with only 2 glasses of drinks. It is not the crew's fault, but some water in Lisbon, for the more than 2h on the ground would have been a good option.
The main meal came just after reaching the cruise altitude on the flight from Lisbon to Miami. The typical mediocre Lufthansa catering: no options for the main course (just ravioli), a lettuce salad (the taste was with sauce), a cold bread roll, butter, and a piece of Bree cheese. The dessert was a tiny piece of artificial chocolate cake. Lufthansa has a lot to improve here, but it looks like they don't care too much about it.
All in all a really interesting flight with Lufthansa onboard the Queen of the Skies, the always amazing Boeing 747. For those that are new on the channel, you've probably only seen me criticizing Lufthansa. Those that are followers the channel for a long time know that I was a big fan of this airline. The service, even on European flights, was among the best. Now it is just a bad joke of what Lufthansa used to be; now it's just another airline that accepts to offer a very mediocre service. They've lost the crown and they don't show any sign of sadness for that.
Now it's your turn! Have you ever flown with Lufthansa? Which route? On which plane? How was the experience? What do you think about the current Lufthansa onboard service? Have you ever flown on a Boeing 747 Have you ever had an Emergency landing? Have you ever seen a space rocket from a plane?

just an assumption, but I think these cases are well insured, that's something that happens very frequently, especially in the COVID time I heard that a lot, and Diversions and fuel dumps happen. That's human to do that, basically every airline is obligated to do so...I learnt about that in an aviation class of a Boeing engineer / instructor.

Interesting! I too was going to say what tremendous cost, probably hundreds of thousands of dollars of lost fuel plus time and late flights due to this medical emergency. I guess if it were anyone of us, we would hope the plane would do the same. But I can't help wonder if it was a genuine emergency or someone was just having a panic attack. A lot of people are like that...that's what often fills emergency rooms at hospital.

Your videos are absolutely World class,the fact that no words are spoken and yet you made the videos so immersive just thru words is brilliant. Hats off to you! Well Done!
Goes to show that humanity and safety comes before all else. That fuel dump was very expensive, but well worth it to not risk losing the life of a passenger. An airline with the esteem of Lufthansa should really update that tier of onboard service and food options. To Germany, I would fly Lufthansa mainly because they have a superb safety record, and some of the most highly skilled and experienced pilots in the sky.
Lufthansa grew is awesome.They are very friendly
Lufthansa had been for many decades a worldwide standard of quality and service. Its sad to see in the video how in a flight so long the food quality is so standard. The experience of seeing the rocket launch from the plane is a lifetime experience.
Bienvenidos a Miami! Land of Muchos Mojares caliante!
What a flight! I had the same expericne flying from London to Dubai on BA last year. The meal service didn't startet and the the crew rushed through the aisle, it turned out the we had a medical emergency and had to divert to Rome in the middle of the night. Hope everyone got out well... The Falcon 9 lauch is also something I always wanted to see, but from a plane.. Wow!!!

Boeing 747 8i nhìn ngoài đời trông vừa to, rộng, dài và hoàng tráng quá đi
Fascinating! I flown on many Lufthansa 747s, but only the -400, not the -8i. They were always beautifully maintained by Lufthansa, and we’d zip past the slower planes on the Atlantic route. Oh, c’mon, the 747 is beautiful; the A-380 is a technical marvel, but also the ugliest commercial jet in the sky. I haven’t been to Lisbon since 1971; I can’t even imagine how much it has changed.

That was awesome to see the rocket, and you're right it isn't something you see everyday especially at that altitude. So even though you had that emergency stop and the food service wasn't the best. The rocket was well worth it.
It’s incredible because if you didn’t had this emergency, you wouldn’t see the rocket
Yea agree the food was a dissapointment and the snack bar should have been stocked since they knew they had such a small dinner service, 1 option...WOW that is sad for Lufthansa. but the 747-8 looked amazing and what an amazing thing to see that Rocket. Thanks for sharing
You did an amazing report, showed what we needed to see without showing the passenger. As always fantastic.

Medical emergency (hope the passenger is okay), Space X launch, Boeing 747-8. What more can you ask for? Wonderful trip report. Keep bringing more.
surprising and also lucky you weren't mugged upon landing. Thats always a good thing.
Magnífico e inusual vuelo y encima de todo en 747. Qué más se puede pedir?? .... bueno tal vez un mejor servicio de catering 😉

Have flown Lufthansa since 1968, and have ALWAYS felt very safe. Have flown FRA-MIA many times (both 747, 748 and 380) and have used US airlines, which are not on the same level of perception / expectation, reality; admittedly they may offer better fares. Today it is hard to beat the LH Group on the MIA run. Re catering in economy. If someone expects better / gourmet dining, then you will have to pay a higher fare. But that is economics.
