Lufthansa Wants to Upgrade Their Passenger 747s
Our crews love the 747, our passengers love it, even plane spotters and photographers love it,” said Spohr. “It’s just so good looking! And that’s why we at Lufthansa are currently looking into another upgrade for our 747-8 in all classes, to fly this airplane way into the next decade. It’s something we are proud of, to represent this amazing airplane for many more years.” (avgeekery.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Flew Lufthansa's 47-8 last May business on the upper deck, Munich to LAX, in the last row both seats :) with a broken bathroom behind \, so everyone went forward. Better then the A380 in First a few years back !
We always used to fly Virgin's Premium Economy class booking seats upstairs when we could afford it by using offers added to their Virgin Red 'points make prizes' program. That was alwaays a good one. If you booked a points plus cash flight, you didn't get more points to use again on the next flight. But we accidentally discovered that the 'missed points' aspect still gave them to you if you went online a couple of weeks later, and claimed missed points :)
That was the good old days when yo could just book a flight by calling a real person late at night when it was quiet, telling them what you wanted, and leaving it to them to find you their best deal and call you back. No 'extras' like baggage and paying to get seats where you all sat together or getting an aisle seat or whatever. The class price was the class price, and that was it. 'Better' seats on a first come basis.
Happy days, now sadly long gone ... :(

In the 80's I flew Sydney to Auckland on a Qantas 747. I had booked economy, but was upgraded to UPSTAIRS...WOW! My only disappointment, it was only a 2 hour flight, and I had to get off at Auckland.
BRING THEM BACK!

BRING THEM BACK!
Just the greatest!

I flew the 747 probably 100 times on British Airways and always loved it but perhaps my most unusual flight was shortly before the pandemic lockdown. I had flown JAL from SFO to Haneda (777) and then a few days later some ANA plane to Okinawa. I love JAL. The ANA flight was 3½ hours with no food. After I completed my business in Okinawa I flew on to Taipei from Naha on China Airlines (a fine airline but sadly not part of the OneWorld Alliance). The 59-minute flight to Taipei was on a 747 and I think all economy class. There must have been 500 passengers on the flight. I was seated near the rear of the plane and during that short flight I received a hot meal! Now that's a great airline.
I love Lufthansa!!
In 4 weeks I am off to FRA from SFO on Lufthansa 747-8. Upper deck makes you feel like you are on a private plane!! I choose them over United because I like the 747. I once flew on their 747 combi. Got a tour of the back half of the plane where there were 2 cars and horses on the way back to Saudi Arabia.
