After a way too short gallop to Poland for a few days, I had to head back to California and Lufthansa’s B747-8 was my overseas ride across the pond to Los Angeles from Frankfurt, Germany. Lufthansa has long been one of my favorite airlines and while they did a lot of good on this flight, there was also a sense of big cost-cutting and short comings here & there. I definitely enjoyed Premium Economy vs Economy and would definitely recommend it if your flight is packed and is of similar length as it does help out drastically with the extra space. Hope you guys enjoy my current longest flight I’ve ever done!

Good 👍 travel
Nicely done.
Great video!
Looks like Lufthansa has good perks with their Premium Economy. Hey, I just got back from Maui and was wondering if you ever done a post about flying to or from Maui?
It's always a good day when jazzguy uploads !!!
Europe airports = build a mall and add a few airline jet bridges in there too with a lot of bus gates
Had premium economy of a Lufthansa 777 from Tampa to Germany and really enjoyed it. Good leg room and amenity kit.
I thought all airlines stopped using 747's for passenger service
Back in the day I was able to fly First Class on a Pan Am 747 and American 747, when costs wasn’t so prohibitive. Both had “lounges” upstairs complete with a buffet table of various meats and cheeses. Seating was complete with lounge couches and swivel chairs. So glad I was able to experience true First Class.
For the price of premium economy, although during covid times, that main meal veg lasagne was absolutely woeful! But everything else looked great man! Great video as usual!
Dude your channel is growing so much! Love seeing it, keep up the great content!!
Chill what about pit-lhr
Next flight up will be from LA to an Francisco on United Airlines!!!
Are you a dual citizen of the US and Poland???
See what crazycoollady1999 thinks of this video
No LI Flyer here!!!
Crazy how airlines grounded the Airbus A380 only to return it a few years later
Interesting when flying to Europe you do not see your bag until your final destination but when flying to the US its when you arrive at the US airport you went through customs at you get your bag. If you fly into a US preclearance airport such as in Canada or Abu Dubai, its not until your final destination you see your luggage.
I can remember seeing Greenland on one of my many trips across the Atlantic mostly going from Germany to several ports of call in the US. This was done taking leave and changing duty stations. All I can remember is seeing ice and lots of it! These flights were of course before PTV's so if I didn't catch any shuteye, I would read a book that I had brought along.
Great video and amazing soundtrack! 😉
I would never ever even eat vegetarian Lasagne down on the ground altough i really love Italian food. So what do you expect…..
Good ol' Lufty. I flew the 748 transatlantic in Nov '21 as well. And def had that same veg lasagna in LH economy lol. I can attest to not seeing Greenland like this past spring break when I flew CPH-LAX and saw nothing bc of thick cloud layer😩. Anyway as always, thanks for sharing!
I’m surprised that you boarded on a jet bridge being that this was a European airport.
If there’s only one meal, then it’s NOT A CHOICE! 😉
Not knowing the fare difference between Economy and Premium Economy, it seems to make sense to upgrade for a 12hr flight–as you walked from Customs to baggage claim, all I can say is "Better you than me"–I would not do well flying for such an extended time. Am surprised the cabin crew didn't shoo you out on the upper deck, filming as you did–and to peek your camera in FC? Forget it! At least you obtained some serious mileage between the US and Poland, your Star Aliiance account thanking you! Why did you fly to LAX rather than SFO, your beginning point?
Fantastic video Chris!
Hi Jazz Guy. You’re my favorite YouTuber and I will always support you and be subscribed to your channels. I’ve been a big fan of your content for a good while now! Which editing software would you recommend the most?
Love your videos so much!!!! Who doesn’t???
That is an interesting video.
That “food” was embarrassingly poor for premiumY!
Yo how are you able to fly so much
Chris, your best Vlog (imo) ever!!! Bravo! Well done. I was throughly entertained!
You should fly to Johannesburg South Africa from Newerk New Jersey on United Airlines on their Boeing 787-9 jets it took 15 hour there and back it was a relaxing flight food was good
I wish I could fly in a 747 let alone in business class. 🙁
Ah, long flights. I hate 'em when I'm on one, and then I miss 'em when I'm not LOL!

I Havent Experienece B747-8 ,I Have Allot Of Fligth On B747-400 Whit KLM And QANTAS.Great Trip Report
THE FLAGSHIP OF LUFTHANSA IS AIRBUS A380-800
I am shocked at LH serving only vegetarian in Prem Eco. I'm diabetic and need protein. That is pretty bad relative to what I was served on LH years ago pre-covid in Econonmy A380 IAH-FRA. Very well done video.
love how your video is informative but still feels like a fun vlog 😌
