I’m glad you guys are starting to share the cost of these flights. Makes your top notch content just that much more transparent and informative
Thanks so much!! More to come!
@@GreenerGrassI’d have to agree with that as well. I like knowing the prices of the flight experiences to know how far they are out of my reach! 🎉😂😂 Also i put cost of flights in my videos to try and be more informative and upfront about the value of an experience. ✈️ 😊
Was that the total price for both of you, or per person?
#747
Yeah it's greatly appreciated. Noel doesn't show the price no longer. So your my new favorite
As someone who has studied aircraft for 38 years, my vote is for the A220. That is a stunning plane!
Why?
Yes, why?
I work for Lufthansa in Frankfurt as an aircraft mechanic. I work mainly on the Long Range planes and the 747, A350 and A380 are great planes to work on, but personally I am for #Team747. Glad you enjoyed your flight.
Thanks for keeping these aircraft in great shape!
I'm flying on a Lufthansa plane next week from South Africa to Frankfurt then UK is it safe?
@@zo3_music~ the plane is much safer than UK🎉
How are the A340's? How long is Lufthansa planning to keep them cause i really wanna fly on it before they ditch em including the others you listed lol.
In 1966 my dad was one of many engineers invited to work on the 747 prototype at Boeing. Took the whole family for 5 months from NY to seattle...by car. What a treat! I have always loved that plane.
damn thats cool how much money di he earn in a year if i can ask?
You dad worked with my father figure, my moms dad. He was a metallurgical engineer and they did a lot of testing on the skin of the aircraft and the stories about the testing of the engines were hilarious. Were you part of the group of kids who got to go up not too long after the unveiling? He passed on some years ago, as did the guys who I grew up knowing who worked on projects like the Saturn 5 and the moon lander (another family member actually got to work with Werner Von Braun, his stories from Huntsville and Houston were incredible...), but I'm sure you probably remember the pride with which they did their work.
The 747 for me the A350 engines look like if it hits a bump on taxing the engines will hit the runway
I was also invited to work on the 747 but the year was 1987 I worked on the first 747-400 and continued on for the next five and half years. Then I spent from 1993 until I retired from Boeing on the 777 line. I was an assembly mechanic and ended my time doing the same job. Since I retired I have traveled extensively over to Asia as much as possible.
That is so cool! My dad's uncle designed the electrical system in the original 747.
The 747 is by far the most beautiful and majestic plane ever built. It broke my heart when they stopped making them.
What about the A380??
@davidtavakoli5858 Me too! The 747 is so AWESOME it feels like a friend of mine has died when Boeing stopped producing it!
Same, 747 is a very very good looking plane
same thing for me and I knew I wasn't the only person who felt like this@@Calebs_Aviation
you're not the only one
I think how incredibly blessed I was having a United Airlines pilot father enabling us kids to fly on the 747 in 1st class back in the 1970's-80's. We loved that spiral staircase and lounge upstairs! What a truly special time in aviation it was✈️🌹
I love the A380. Every time i see one in the sky. However I'm equally as excited when i see a four engine 747 go overhead too. I'm not that fussed about anything else in particular. Two engines is just not impresive for me unless they are attached to a SR71. I LOVE watching four engines go by.
Same
@@reynaldoquiazon I was out dog walking and pointing out the Lufthansa 747 going overhead to another dog owner I was with. Still excited about it all these years after seeing my first :) haha
The same for me! My first 747 flight was in a brand new Air India 747 from Bombay to NY in 1972. Have flown on many Pan Am and British Airways 747s, and in the upper deck front row of Air France 747. Miss flying on a 747.
"We expect a very on-time landing tomorrow in Frankfurt airport" is perhaps the most German thing I've heard in ages 😂
what he didn't say is this flight from Jan Smuts to Frankfurt is very expensive on Lufthansa, i fly every year between Germany and South Africa and Swiss air is much cheaper,but i understand he has the money to fly 1st class, i flew now in May between SA and Germany and flew Air France on the same route as it was cheapest flight, and the 747 is a very bumpy flight, over the Sahara desert the plane falls badly ,,i prefer flying Swiss air on same route as they use a Airbus A340 which is a much smoother flight, 747 is a bad plane to fly in according to me,
Wait for japanese flights and trains... "We excuse for a two second delay"
Wait for japanese flights and trains... "We excuse for a two second delay"
I'm also with Suzanne on this one! 747 rules in every way! Nothing finer! My uncle used to fly these beautiful planes when he was a pilot for United. He is now retired and owns several small planes of his own. He hates flying commercial 🤣 because if he is not in control of the plane, he doesn't trust it! This is where our family history kind of sucks, my aunts father was one of the pilots involved in our nation's most deadliest airplane accident ever.😢
@@repairmanjoe8081 Yes it is an iconic plane, but i still prefer flying on an Airbus,ive flown on this same route many times on a 747 between Germany and South Africa, if i count right 6 times, all that i find bad about a 747 it is much more prone to turbulence in compare to an Airbus of Swiss Air on same route, over the Sahara desert a 747 falls and bumps badly, whereas a A340 just glides, i flew on same route again in May on Air France Boeing 777 and its same as a A340, just glides
I’ll throw out another adjective to describe the 747: majestic. There really is nothing like watching a 747 lift off or touch down.
Unless in third class economy, which is like being in a cattle truck

Except a crash.
i saw a asiana cargo 747 takeoff once. it was pure beauty.
Rare 747-8. Wonderful to see the iconic "queen of the skies" in all her glory!
I've done a lot of flying, just did Montreal to Rome on a 777 and Athens to Toronto on a 787-9, both AC signature class, both flights were wonderful but nothing beats the Queen of the skies, she will be deeply missed.
Probably my favorite KZhead personality-fascinating, friendly, unpretentious, and well-produced! Whatever you upload, I know is going to be great and is a good day ✨👍☕️
Wow, thank you!
Totally agree. Always positive, straight to-the-point, no gimmicks. A good model for other would-be KZheadrs to follow.
Yep, completely unpretentious. Just because you enjoy some luxuries doesen't mean you have to be snobby.
I agree!
I agree with that! Jeb rocks!! 🎉🎉
Team 747 here. The quintessential blend of form and function into aesthetic perfection. In fact, each variation of the 747 managed to be more beautiful than the previous generation, reaching a zenith with the -8I.

Jeez, eloquently put…
@@eisbeinGermany I wonder if he even pays for these tickets as this is the best advertising money can buy. I know you have to disclose paid advertising(at least in the US) and if he does do that I haven't noticed, but idk if maybe just getting your tickets comped instead of paymemt actually qualifes. Thats honestly the first time ive ever heard someone criticize the 747s smoothness in flight. I find it strange the A340 would be smoother considering it doesn't compare to the 777-300.
@@PenskePC17 I think he gets paid some how, about the 747 it's just my experience since I have been flying from October 2015 I flew on Airbus,can't remember the series from South Africa to Switzerland on Swiss air then when I flew back it was Lufthansa and it was a 747 and I immediately noticed the difference between the two ✈️✈️, And have flown many times since then mostly Swiss air as thy used only Airbus, flew Jan 2018 when I moved to Germany on Lufthansa 747 again,I find the 747 very bumpy over Africa,when one flies over the Sahara desert 747 falls and picks up lots, then July 2019 I flew SAA and they used a Airbus A350 and it just glides,as I said it's my opinion,now Oct 2023 I flew same route Swiss air and now thy use since October 23 a Boeing 777 and it's also a smooth flight,
The person who lives life fully, glowing with life's energy, is the person who lives a successful life.
omg. you two are adorable together. more smiles than not. great travel couple and have perfect reviews which are honest and nice coming from a couple who honestly tell how it really is for each on the same flight. Thank you.
I’m team 747 all the way. The story of how it came to be is amazing as well as it’s iconic and beautiful looks
its its its its its
Lufthansa 747 is the best looking plane imo. It's just gorgeous and the logo is what puts it ahead in terms of looks. Love Lufthansa.
My uncle was the director of British airways so spent his life travelling first class with my auntie, was always blown away with his stories and I remember him saying to me how would sometimes sit infront of the pilots, I always thought that was so cool
747s are my favorite by far. No other plane can compete with the Queen.
In terms of passenger comfort it gets beaten by most of the competition today.
Nah, #TeamEmbraer175
@Simon-pg1bm depends on whit airline use it(well, there are only 3 for -8)
What about the king!!! A380❤
It’s very rare to see the b747 still flying as a commercial flight these days 🥰
Luftansa, Korean, and Air China are the only passenger airlines currently flying 747-8. They are also flying the 747-400 and Atlas Air flys 747-400 with charters. Still nice to see them in the air!
I agree. I'm from Seattle, and Boeing is home to the747.
Fun fact… LH has more 748’s than 388’s.
It’s not rare at all
It is sort of rare because there are only about 40 in service (including cargo) but somehow i have flown on it before and still se them a lot at my home airport, Washington Dulles international
Hope you guys had fun, flying first class to Europe is on my bucket list!
Same
Looks amazing! Great video!
Great review as always Jeb! I have a suspicion that non US pilots are not as fussy with the seatbelt sign because they wouldn't likely be sued on it if something were to happen to someone. After all you're always told to keep your seatbelt on when seated!
I’m a first time viewer. I’ve been flying for 60 years-maybe twice a year-all over the world. Sometimes I’ve been more wealthy, sometimes I’ve been less wealthy. I’ve never flown first class. The experience depicted on this video is vastly different from nearly everyone else’s in the world. It’s frankly fascinating. The flight you took, if I had done it in “cattle class” would have included uncomfortable if you could find any, seats in boring, unpleasant waiting areas with nothing to eat except expensive junk, chaotic boarding of passengers, indifferent trending to scornful flight attendants “serving” dry cruddy food and collecting the trays back as quickly as they can. I still travel, but as I age the strain of non-first class flying is an increasing factor in my decision making. Maybe it’s time.
But you get to your destination in eactly the same time producing far less CO2
Such a nicely made video, I felt like I was travelling with you guys. Can’t wait to get on a long flight again😄
I have always flown domestic carriers. We typically fly AA and this past summer flew to Italy on partner airline BA and I noticed the same thing about the seatbelt sign. On our first leg from Chicago to Heathrow, the sign was off before we crossed into Wisconsin and it didn't go back on again until our approach. It was a smooth flight, but that was consistent on other flights on that trip.
My father in law worked at Boeing for 40 years. He was the Chief Liaison Engineer for the 747. He loved his job and loved the 747.
You and Suzanne are perfect for one another! She's a wonderful addition to your channel. Thanks for another spectacular video, as well as the vicarious experience!❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the ride along.
Team 747 hands down...most beautiful plane along with the concorde.
Had my first ever flight on a Lufthansa 747-8 from Frankfurt to New York JFK when I was a child. That plane will always have a special place in my heart!
The 747 took me from Australia to my first trip overseas with my family for the first time. In fact it really revolutionised travel between Australia and the rest of the world. It took me to New York for the first time with my dad after graduating high school. I was guttered when Qantas retired them during covid and I couldn’t go on the last ever flight. It is such a iconic aeroplane that changed aviation history.
I flew on many of them. I prefer the 777.
what he didn't say is this flight from Jan Smuts to Frankfurt is very expensive on Lufthansa, i fly every year between Germany and South Africa and Swiss air is much cheaper,but i understand he has the money to fly 1st class, i flew now in May between SA and Germany and flew Air France on the same route as it was cheapest flight, and the 747 is a very bumpy flight, over the Sahara desert the plane falls badly ,, i prefer a swiss air flight on same route, thy use Airbus A340 which just glides, yes 747 looks majestic but for me a very bumpy flight,
I don’t think it’s fair to blame the 747 for your turbulent flight over the Sahara! I flew both the B747-400 and A340-200/300/600 and, in my opinion, the much heavier 747 handles turbulence better. Overall, I prefer the simpler, smarter, newer Airbus design. My first choice as a passenger remains undoubtedly the B777-300ER. That thing is a beast! Massive, smooth, stable and modern (but never piloted it).
@@Jasewoz all I don't like about the 777 is the narrow seats 💺💺 in economy, well I've spoken to many people who have flown 747 have same complaint about bad turbulence, Airbus 330 flies for me the smoothest, but it's like food, some like certain types of food others not,same with flying, each person has a different viewpoint of what is a smooth flight ✈️ or not,
@@eisbeinGermany Both the 747 and 777 were/are smooth. A330 smoother? I haven't experienced one yet. That will be interesting.
#Team747 - She is the Queen of the Skies and always will be. She introduced a whole generation of people to affordable air travel and has done so with a safety record that is hard to beat. She is older, ready to retire, but the memories are very fond. I've flown on many of them over the years, from the 747-200 in the 80s to the 747-400ER Long Reach "Spirit of Australia" from the US to Australia.
Team 747! The 747 is the prettiest jetliner.. My Late Uncle John was a 747 Captain for United years ago! The queen of skies is family!!
For anyone new watching here, Jeb's channel is the reason why I am no longer afraid to fly. I watched a bunch of his videos in 2019 as I had to take a trip to Norway in August 2019. Because of Jeb, I got on the plane and enjoyed my flight 100%. My former fear was gone.
The last 'Jeb" we had showing us flying was Bush, who wanted to corridor the 'axis of evil' just like his daddy did. What an airline the USA ran!
The Boeing 747 aircraft was my first aircraft to fly on as a flight attendant, so naturally I am in love with the aircraft. Thanks a million Jebb and Suzanne
I flew LH first class in the 748 from FRA to BLR last March, I had such a great time and I’m so glad to see you guys reviewing this!!
My man is completely right about the a350 being the most beautiful plane.
Lufthansa 747 are dream come true always
The 747 is, hands down, the most beautiful plane ever built.
honestly i didn't expected something better in first class with lufthansa but travelliing with 747 it's something else
Lufthansa is genuine fine dining in the sky. I still love their 747s. Nicest crews you’ll meet too!
I love how you give lots of detail about the food.
Team 747 here.Back in the day I used to fly between SFO-JFK on Tower Airlines 747-100 &200 aircraft. Flew them right up until about a month before Tower shut down. :o(. Really miss flying on that bird. Always one of the most stable aircraft and as you stated one of the most beautiful aircraft ever! Thanks for another truly enjoyable vid! Keep em coming and always safe travels to you both!
I just love the design of the A350! Definitely the most beautiful, but the 747 is just so iconic.

Sir Thank you. I am loosing my job at 53 after interacting with American customers for 20 years. I do not have the means to travel the world. But U have made it possible. God Bless.
The 747 is the absolute queen of the skies, she will always get my vote!
I fly from Costa Rica to Germany in a 747, one of the best experiences of my life so far.
I have been loving these vicarious trips and journies with you two. 👍🏽 Don't ever do a trip with just one of you covering. Must always be both of you.
As much as I love the Airbus A350/A380, the most iconic aircraft still flying has to be the Boeing 747. She's the true queen of the skies! #Team747
Agree with Suzanne. The 747 is the most beautiful and iconic plane in the sky. Great video Jeb. You and Suzanne always provide top notch content😊
Forgetting about the a380…
Forgetting about the Concorde ….
i would select the ugly one, if it is 5 times faster. I don't need all these experience.
Everyone loves the 747. Coolest plane EVER!
The food options looked spectacular. 👌 You always create such amazing content.
Just beautiful. Flying Lufthansa can be excellent or terrible. On this occasion it was excellent. Thanks for the review Jeb and Suzzanne. It was great to watch.
The Lufthansa 747 has a special spot in my heart as its the first 747 I ever saw back in September of last year at Dulles
Definitely 747. I remember flying on it when I was 7 years old and fell in love with it. I’ve flown a 747 to Narita, Heathrow and Frankfurt.
747 by far! First class BA was amazing.
I fell in love with the A350 at first sight. Such a beautiful airplane. The 747 has a special place in my heart as being my only transatlantic first class experience.
787 more sleek
Now as much as I love the 747-8, and it’s beauty and how iconic it is… even before that convo got brought up when they showed the Qatar a350, I said out loud “honestly the a350 is even more beautiful then the 747” I can’t believe I said that right before that convo got brought up… and I do agree with Jeb, the 747 is iconic, but the a350 is the most beautiful plane in service right now
787 is the most beautiful commercial airliner.
The 747 will remain a unique and unforgettable jumbo jet forever. 💙✈
Hey Jeb, thanks for these great insights You probably heard it before every take-off:"turbulence can occure unexpectedly at any time. please keep your seat belt fastened whenever seated." that's why LH uses the seat belt signs only when encountering more than light turbulences. From moderate turbulence on, even the cabin crew has to take their seats and service is interrupted. Keep your great work up!
US airlines make a very similar announcement though, so that doesn't explain the difference.
It's been a long time (too long) since I've been in a "jumbo jet". It wasn't first class but it was a first class experience none the less. Thanks, as always, for your content. I love your and Suzanne's enthusiasm and excitement in your travels. Too many travel vloggers treat these special trips a little too lightly at times; almost ho-hum, another first class suite. Your enjoyment of travel and appreciation of it shines through.
Nothing beats the view from the flightdeck in my experience.
I sat in the first seat and it was super cool bc I could see the runway on take off and landing. Awesome experience specially on the 747.
Back in the 90's I flew first class on 747s from Los Angeles to St. Louis quite a few times. On some occasions I was seated in the upstairs area, which was like flying in a private plane with a dedicated attendant. Other times was seated downstairs (in front of the pilot). Can't be compared in any way to how First Class is now, but for that period of time it was pretty special.
Seats in the back rows do tend to shrink down the row sizes, to accommodate the tapering of the fuselage, but it’s better to sit the row BEHIND the first one, as the IFE screens in the back of the wider row in front will be off center in the middle of your armrest! Lufthansa A340 from Frankfurt to JFK, most of economy is 2-4-2, but the last 5 or so rows drop to 2-3-2, since 3 of us were flying, we opted not to have to share that extra seat (though we have been lucky before where the adjacent seats are empty, this flight was completely full.)
Once I was flying from Nagoya to Tokyo on a JAL 747. I knew we'd be flying past Mt. Fuji so I asked for a window seat on the left. The staff were so happy that an American was so interested in Fuji-san they gave me an upgrade and put me in 1A right in the nose. A relatively short flight but what an experience.
My favorite plane ever is the A350 it looks so majestic and beautiful for a plane
EVA Airlines was also quick to turn on the seatbelt signs. The sign went on and off so many times between Bangkok and Taipei I lost count, but the flight itself felt pretty smooth.
This is amazing aircraft. It looks like hotel in the air . Glad you guys had a great trip and thanks for sharing 🌍✈
Only saw the First Class when leaving the plane during my flight from Canada to Frankfurt and was thrilled! Thanks for the insight!
Team 747. There's nothing more beautiful than the Queen of the skies mate. However, I also love the A380 because of the sheer size and the engineering that makes that thing fly and be silent and comfortable.
I really can't understand why the A380 is supposed to be silent. I've flew on it for 3 times and it was always the loudest long haul plane I flew on.
So cool to see multiple perspectives on Lufthansa 1st class experience. Thank you Jeb!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!
My first flight on a 747 (- 200) was in February 1978, CPH-NYC (Huge Viking). Since then, I've been 'in love' with the Queen of the Skies. So, absolutely agree with Suzanne.
I actually flew on that very same seat 💺, right side of plane ✈️ kind of in an angle, an Awesome experience. That was on a Tower Air 747 from Miami to San Juan PR back in January 2000. Never forget that
Definitely the A350, it's just so sleek and the mask on the cockpit window just looks so cool.
It seems like Suzzanne was having just way too much fun! As usual, another great video! By the way, #Team747!
Welllll…I’d have to say that I’m #Team757 😎 Those Boeing 757s will always have a special place in my heart. My first ever flight was on a Continental Airlines Boeing 757-300 from EWR to MCO.
The B-747 is such a beautiful plane. The A-350 can't even hold a candle to the 747. I was very surprised when I learned that depending on the arrangement of the seating, but 747 in most layouts actually seats more passengers than the A-380
proud 747 fan!
Jeb and Suzanne, I love your videos! I love what you guys do! It helps to keep me going and know that I would love to be able to do what you do. Please keep posting! Maybe you can do an “airports revealed” at JKF, that’s one of my home airports!
I love this channel. So many channels that do travel reviews come across as entitled or nitpicky but this channel is always so positive with fair critiques. You can really tell they love to travel and don’t take it for granted. I’ve noticed that often times, the crews are described as good to excellent and I think part of that as they make the videos they are also kind and respectful customers. In every aspect of life, I believe you get what you give so even though it’s someone’s job in customer service to take care of you, you will have an infinitely better experience if you are nice and polite with them. As for why US pilots have the seatbelt sign on more, I’m pretty sure it’s because of so many incidents with sudden rough air. The FAA even requires the announcement be made to suggest you wear your seatbelt even if the sign isn’t on just in case. It’s a way so that if someone does get injured, they can say the sign was on but they chose not to abide by it.
Agree with your comments on Jeb's channel. I voluntarily always wear my belt (loosened a bit for comfort when the sign is off). Sure, the odds of encountering severe clear-air-turbulence are extremely rare, but I'll take a belt over my lap that I don't even feel than a remote chance of bonking my head into the overhead and injuring myself. I'm 6'4 so I have even less head distance to travel.
Without any doubt the most beautiful and iconic aircraft ever is Concorde IMHO
As a watch enthusiast... The wearing of a Value King such as your Sinn on a Lufthansa flight... On Brand and Pure Class 🙌

For me, it will always be the 747, without a doubt. Memories of being a kid going JFK to Athens on TWA flight 880 during many summers. The A380 is so quiet, though....haven't flown the A350. The 340-600 is also a beautiful bird. Boeing is #1 forever!
747 and the a340-800 are my favorite planes ❤🎉
Loved this review! Pilots in Europe/any non-US airline are less prone to turn on the seatbelt signs, because everyone else (non-US) is less litigious. I've noticed that over many years - particularly flying UA a few months back - that as soon as there was a single bump, the seatbelt sign went on, and for aaaaages... Pilots for other airlines/nationalities have a more pragmatic view I think. A bump here and there - it's expected, so why stop people from being able to go to the bathroom (for example ... not a real life situation ... or was it...... Ha!)
Americans can sue a fly for flying 😂😂😂
#Team747 I absolutely agree with Suzanne! The Boeing 747 is both majestic and beautiful. Unmatched by ANY aircraft in the sky, and I will forever love and choose them over anything else. Unfortunately I haven't been able to experience the majesty in flight, but one day I surely will before their.. rather underserved demise. 747's are what got me into aviation, and I will never forget the impact they have on my life. Long live the Queen of the skies!
You guys are simply the best. Don't stop till you get enough 😊
Team 747 because it’s so iconic and original. It’s the queen of the sky forever we will remember it’s beauty and the 747 200 and the 747 400 and the 747-8
