I’m not sure it matters that much if you are referring to flying first on the 747. But if you choose the row that I had you will at least get some more space

Gard, thank you very much for posting all this useful information. Your descriptions are really accurate. I am trying to make up my mind if I should fly from HK to Paris (first class) on Turkish, Lufthansa or Thai. I’ve been a couple of times on TK first class and the service is great; however I get so frustrated with the poor language skills of the flight attendants. They are not able to explain anything properly because of their poor English. I’ve flown LH Business and I was not really impressed. In fairness to LH I must say that it wasn’t bad either, but services is poorer than on TK.

I am glad You enjoyed LH First. Tks for the pics of the duck. I will fly and feed on Your menu next friday. I will choose the beef tenderloin. Just for Your next time. It is usually possible to get at the very least caviar AND the first course.Often when loads are light in First You get all the appetizers. And, generally, salads never taste good in the air. Go for the soup option instead. If not satisfied when the meal is done, please tell the FA. They can always round up something if Your tummy rumbles…They are there in order to take care of You

I flew LH first class only one time FRA to BOS on the upper deck of B747-400. My impressions were similar to yours. Great food and service but insufficient toiletry bag and small tv screen. B747-400 are a bit more than old and should not be compared to the new Emirates A380. Lufthansa has individual tv screen on the longhaul aircrafts A340-600 and A330-300. I do not think they are going to renew the interiors of the 744s and the entertainment system on 744s, not only first class but also economy and busness, as they have ordered n. 15 A380 and n. 20 B747-800 where the latest stuff will for sure be available. It is only a matter of waiting a bit longer……

Yes, I have flown LH economy class as you can see here http://gardkarlsen.com/blog/?p=204 . Yes, it was not great but the service is not bad at all. But the personal entertainment sucks…

You must have not flown Economy on the LH747 yet. It is the most “dreaded aircraft” in the entire LH fleet.
