My Disappointing Lufthansa 747 Flight

·27 min·2 clips
Dan reveals his Lufthansa 747 flight review contains nothing positive, warning listeners who dislike negativity.
The episode begins with host Dan apologizing for a month-long hiatus due to illness and setting a negative tone for his Lufthansa review. He mentions his prior flight on Scoot's Boeing 787 was incredible, creating a stark contrast. Dan explains he booked the Lufthansa 747-8 flight separately to tick off flying on that aircraft model, seeking a cost-effective itinerary. He describes his transit experience at Singapore Changi Airport, praising the Jewel waterfall and noting construction work. Dan criticizes Singapore Changi's gate-specific security system, preferring centralized security. Upon boarding the Lufthansa flight, he informs the crew of his peanut allergy and is denied both dinner and breakfast service, which he finds concerning. He reviews the 747-8 economy cabin, calling it atrocious and in dire need of an upgrade, with a broken recline and a malfunctioning in-flight entertainment system that crashed and had poor touch response. Dan notes the breakfast served was a small tomato and cheese sandwich, which he deems inadequate for a premium airline on a long-haul flight. He compares Lufthansa unfavorably to low-cost carriers, stating even established low-cost airlines would offer a better experience. Dan expresses overall disappointment, advising listeners to avoid Lufthansa's 747-8 economy and find alternatives. He mentions a video review will be available on his second YouTube channel, Globetrotting at DJ's Aviation, in July 2023. The episode concludes with Dan noting his upcoming travel to the Paris Air Show and uncertainty about the next podcast episode due to busy schedules.

As heard by us

A blunt Lufthansa review that finds as much tension in Changi logistics as in the flight itself.

Dan's Lufthansa review stays close to the ground, which helps it land. It starts at Singapore Changi, then moves through the construction, check-in, baggage setup, and gate-specific security that shape the airport experience.
