While Lufthansa’s in-flight entertainment is pretty bad, during my recent flight in Lufthansa first class between Vancouver and Munich I couldn’t help but fall in love with the main music track they had playing when you just put on headphones. I wasn’t sure what it was and asked if anyone knew, because I didn’t remember…

If Joe Kittinger had that to listen to on the way down, it probably would have been a much more pleasant experience. Nice tune.
haha! i love how i'm not the only one who thinks TK is umm, catchy, to put it mildly. guess it's it's legendary!
@ Jon -- You're far from it. 😉

You know, the right boarding music really does take some of the edge off the boarding process. Every time when I sit down calm, I notice that there's music playing (usually it was the old United music used on their animated ads). USAir on the other hand never has it (hell, the don't even have ife anymore), and the visible stress level among the boarding "passengers" always seem very high.
If you like that song, you will like this Sebastian Tellier song:

Then, of course, there is the album by Brian Eno, Music for Airports, which was installed at LGA for a time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_1:_Music_for_Airports
I think you forgot one that is really good: the music track played on Air France IFE - World can be yours, from Telepopmusik. Reeally relaxing!

Wow EY's music is a meaty track (as in long) I did like the LH Theme, but felt it lacked a dramatic spot.
Oddly enough I LOVE the man's Voice during AirCanada safety video and promos. A slight dry rasp, but demands attention.
I would really like to get ahold of JAL's boarding music. It a march of some sort -- not relaxing, but more like "We're going on an adventure!" music.
+1 for the AF and LH tracks. Delta usually has recent hits for their boarding music. A few years ago I enjoyed it when "Glamorous" by Fergie was in the rotation. I was upgraded about 95% of the time, so it set a nice mood with the opening lyrics "We're flying first class, up in the sky, poppin' champagne, living the life, in the fast lane, and I won't change".

LAN gets an honorable mention, for their combination of super cool landscape photography and soothing tunes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn9MM4dGe-g
Definitely just downloaded Dayvan Cowboy on iTunes. Great find! Out of curiosity, how were you able to find it with nothing to go off?
BA boarding music - Flower Duet by Lakme, absolutely one of my favourite songs.
Thanks for your find, I also love that music! I'm listening it now on Grooveshark.
This is the full 30-minute version of the Etihad boarding music. No need to switch between part 1 and 2!
Apologies for the lack of link in my previous comment, here is the video:

Not sure which track you are referring to as i am at the moment flying on a LH flight somehwere over siberia. Anyway the music in my ears is absolutely cooking - the best best of the nerdy german electronic music tradition (i.e Autobahn, trans europe express , kruder dorfmeister etc.). I will endevour to find out who the heck it is and i will post the artists identity if i do find out. it makes me feel like I am living in some kind of science fiction movie as we zip along here burning huge quantities of jet fuel and doing possibly irrepairable damage to the world's atmosphere.....
Well I fly quite a lot on Luthansa, and always listen to the music on Channel 8, so it has been bugging me a while to find out the playlist.
Well I found it on the lufthansa website and it is as follows.
So, now all I have to do is find it and download it all from the web !
