Lufthansa First Class 747-8 Frankfurt To Boston Review

Do you not eat pork?

Why would below freezing temperatures cause a rough approach?

I enjoyed the roast goose as well a few weeks ago to GRU. Pretty damn good. Flying to EZE on 748i next week; what's the best seat in the nose if you are flying solo?

How come no photo of the crew this time. Why only for Garuda and no other flights?

What's the cloth thing with the caviar?

Where's the wine list?

Great review!! Thank you for not showing us a picture of your "sneakers".

@Speedbird747: 1A or 1K IMHO

@Credit: it is half a lime. The cloth catches any seeds when you squeeze it.

Thanks for the review though I wish it was for business class. I grabbed one of their mileage bargain deals and am flying to boston from zurich via frankfurt in business in may. (55k miles)

Any clue what kind of food amenities are available in business?

I liked the First Class... er... Business Class Christmas cookies!

Haven't been able to fly LH in December in a few years. Do they still have the "Lufthansa Christmas" CD in the audio section of the IFE? I have always wanted a copy of that - great music from around Europe.

@Ben the link to the review of Aloft Boston seems broken. Is it out? I don't see it.on the homepage. It is hyperlinked on the list though

Ben, was this the second flight on Lufthansa where you had the first class cabin to yourself and/or who you were traveling with (the first was on the FRA - IAD on LH in 2014)?
Also, does LH First still cater Wiener Würstchen as it did in 2010?

Ben, I was eagerly waiting for a detailed review for this sector as you were flying on B748 on LH!!!

What!?!? No new Ducks?

Great shot of Cape Ann, lucky.

Flying the 747-8 is one of my next redemption goals.

Ben,

When you transferred from GA to LH at LHR did you have checked in baggage? If yes did GA in CGK check you in all the way from CGK to BOSTON?.

I'M in a situation where I have to connect from :
GA F CGK AMS
LX J AMS ZRH ORDER
Can can my bags interline GA to LX?.

@ Dan
Ben rarely eats pork. He said, a few months ago, young porks are cute so that he is not keen to eat them.
I can understand.

@ Credit
It is lemon. The green one here probably. The cloth gives you the juice and restrains the pips.

Ben, in your intro, why not include how you got the ticket: paid for it, used miles, combination of cash/miles, etc.

Ugh! The dinner menu sounds awful other than the bread, sorbet. and dessert. Remind me to order up a steak from United the next time I fly LH in a premium cabin. Sounds way more appetizing to my simple palate.

Spewin, no airshow photo and no offend-able item. Usually each report has at least one point that someone takes offense at which generates discussion in the comments.

Pity the poor Patagonian Toothfish. Just living leisurely life as most fish do, when some marketing type renames it as Chilean Sea Bass. As a result, the market explodes and the overfishing begins. Of course, I suppose I shouldn't talk, since I've been eating offered caviar on planes since the days of Pan Am.

@RobPHX Agree 100% & I'd give the sorbet a miss, too. Give me SIA's book the cook any day

I had the same goose dish flying business from FRA-JFK, same dish, different presentation
Really very good

Thank God you travel with Ford more often now, otherwise we'd never see or hear in your reviews about any dish except fish! LOL...to each his own, but looking at the menus, I can predict correctly 99% of the time which items you will select.

@Donald - And don't forget the pretzel bread and garlic bread. That can be predicted 100% of the time!

Sorry Lucky - just giving you a hard time. Keep up the good work and I love reading your reviews!

Don't keep us in suspense - did you wear your "sneakers" on this flight in F on Lufthansa? Wearing "sneakers" and eating caviar seem to go hand-in-hand.

Lucky - How do I find a flight using the 747-8? I spent 30 min looking at different days and different flights and did not find a 747?

That was a huge serving of caviar .

How did you book? Points from Aeroplan?

The roast goose looks pretty tasty! Seems like the meal service was pretty good, although could do with a bit more privacy for the bed.
