Welcome to my Lufthansa First Class Experience on board of the Airbus A340.
In this video I will show you many details about the Lufthansa First Class Lounge, the
plane and the first class seat and of course the amazing on board service and catering
of Lufthansa. If you want to skip to a certain part, you find the shortcut links below in
the description. Please enjoy the video - and if you like it show your love and hit like

My trip today starts in Munich, Germany. I am travelling to New York through Newark Airport,
New Jersey.
After security I headed to the First Class Lounge by Lufthansa to enjoy my waiting time
until my flight departs. The lounge is styled with leather and discreet colours that correspont
with the colors of the first class cabin on the plane. You hand in your passport and a
customs official clears you directly at the lounge. Very convenient.
A well equipped newsstand offers free stuff to read and helps you keep track of your departure.
A high class restaurant offers food a la carte or from an amazing buffet with great choices
for every taste. I fell in love with the desserts. M
The very well equipped bar with top staff holds all kinds of drinks. I desired a peppermint
tea but could have had anything I wanted. All inclusive.
Snacks are available everywhere throuout the lounge and you always have the choice between
healthy or feasting. Guess what I preferred.
The lounge offers several quiet offices for passengers. Parents travelling with children
can keep their kids busy with toys.
If you smoke, just enjoy the Cigar lounge.
I was actually amazed by the beautiful bathrooms that Lufhansa has for their first class clients.
You can use a whirlpool or just shower - all in first class style.
On request you can also have a lockable room with a bed to catch some sleep if you have
a longer waiting time. The rooms looked very clean and inviting.
I let the relaxing athmosphere sink in and enjoyed fresh fruit and joghurt - and my peppermint
tea.
When it was time to board, I headed to find my plane waiting for me.
The Airbus A340-600 has a crew of 13 members: 2 pursers and 11 flight attendants. 2 Pilots
operate the plane.
There is room for 8 first class passengers. There are 44 business class seats and room
for 245 economy passengers.
LH 412 from Munich to Newark - ready to board! New York - here I come!
My first impression from the first class cabin was amazing: So much space, such a great design.
You can feel and see the quality in every single detail.
It is supposed to be the quietest first class cabin in the world - thanx to a special insulation
invented by Lufthansa. Heavy curtains absorb sound from the pantry area or other cabin
classes.
The seats can be folded into a bed of 80cm width and 207cm lenght. Great for myself as
I am a bit over 2 metres - about 6.7 feet.
The seat itself is manufactured with breathable materials - and the air for the first class
is treated by a special humidification system, allwing it to have the perfect grade of humidity
to make the passengers feel good even in the artificial athmospehere of an airplane cabin.
My flight was equipped with a highspeed Wifi internet - you can surf the web during the
flight on Telekom high speed Internet for a very reasonable price of 17 € for the
entire flight.
The seat is quipped with many stowage. You have several electrical sockets and two USB
slots for loading your gadgets during the flight.
The seat has many options to electrically position to your needs and divider can be
out up to have some more privacy during the flight.
A personal little "trunk" aka. Ottoman serves as footrest and storage for up to two pairs
of shoes. I put my laptop and ipad in there.
The seating area is filled with exclusive materials, leather, gadgets and very well
designed compartments.
While boarding I sat down, kicked my shoes off and eased in a little bit. Usually flights
can be stressing - I had a feeling this flight would be more like an afternoon in a day spa.
Lufthansa offers van Laak pyjamas for their first class guests.
The amenity kit by porsche design contains a sleeping set, toothbrush, "la mer" care
set and of course socks.
I was lucky to make a short visit to the flight deck. Both pilots were very nice, looked smarter
than me and I was very impressed by all the screens, buttons and the skills they obviously
have to master all this tec stuff.
Boarding completed, push back and taxi to the runway.
Bye bye Munich and here we come New York City!
After lift off I took a peak into the amazing vine menue - but as always during flights
I stay off alcohol. Maybe next time... The choice was overwhelming.
The first class toilet is equipped with lotions, is spaceous, built with noble materials and
has it's own window. Look - I can even try evian facial spray to
freshen up!
I folded the seat to the full-flat position and napped a bit. This was amazing. The material
is so comfortable and the pillow and the soft movements of the plane almost made me sleep
and miss the rest of the flight.
My fellow co-passengers in the first class enjoyed the great wine bar - while I was getting
started with my meal. The service is like in a high class restaurant - and although
I ususally don't eat caviar, I had to try some just for the taste of it.
I had the choice between three starters but could not decide. And I did not have to. I
got all three startes.
A nice carrot-ginger-soup.
And my main dish was a roulade of chicken leg with tomato olive tapenade, ratatouille
and rosmary polenta. Mouthwatering I tell you! Can you see?
For desert I had several choices and again went for several options: Caramelized vanilla
cream Delice of chocolat.
Oh - and I also had some chocolates - just to be sure I had tasted everything.
What can I say: I cannot remember when I have had better catering in the sky.
Finally it was time for me to get some hours of sleep. I heard amazing things about the
beds in Lufthansa First Class. The Flight attendant prepared the empty seat next to
me - so I could keep changing between my seat and my bed whenever I wanted to. Awesome!
The so called "shape system" makes the bed extremely comfortable. It adapts to any position
- also at my hight and weight.
A propper matrass, a propper duvet and a propper pillow - this is a full functional bed!
The bedlinnen feels thick and nice. Quality up to the last detail.
I slept very well for some hours and was very happy to wake up and still have some more
time exploring the seat and the entertainment system.
Time for some more nice food - again I tried to make up for the earlier feasting and ordered
some fruit salad for my good conscience. I was already looking forward to making this
video, eagerly waiting for your comments and your likes!
The last hour or so I just enjoyed the quiete cabine, the view and when we touched down
in Newark I have to admit: This whole experience was superb, the catering extrodinary, the
space and the seats delivered more than I expected. And last but not least I was impressed
by the high motivation and hospitality of the flight crew. Real experts who give you
just the right amount of service and privacy. Lufthansa First Class: Very impressive. I
want to fly again soon.
