After arriving at Frankfurt from Dubai on the Lufthansa B747-400, I made my way to Lufthansa First Class Terminal. This is not just a first-class lounge but a completely separate terminal with restaurant dining, a shower and bedroom facility, cigar room, and possibly the world’s largest whisky selection in the bar. I rode a Porsche Panamera as part of the Lufthansa first class lounge transfer to the plane. To my surprise, the Frankfurt to Los Angeles flight is operated by B747-8 in Retro livery (D-ABYT). Once onboard, I received the full Lufthansa First Class treatment in welcome amenities and champagne. After a nice takeoff with an engine view, I sat back to relax and enjoy First Class dining with caviar and a shot of vodka, followed by starters and sea bass as a main course. First Class on the Boeing 747-8 was in the nose area with good privacy. Seat 1A was even in front of the cockpit! Enjoy the nice view over Greenland and Western USA before arriving in Los Angeles. It was a great ride with great service. At the end of the flight, I shared a good tip on how to fly Lufthansa First Class without breaking the bank.
