So I think we’ve found Lufthansa’s awesome onboard music track…

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 exactly how the song went.

Lots of readers asked me to post when I figure out the track, and while I’m still not positive, I’m now 99% sure it’s “Dayvan Cowboy” by Boards of Canada:

It’s an amazing song, in my opinion. Anyone else love it?

So if we’re keeping track of airline related music…

I think Etihad’s boarding music still ranks as the most relaxing music played by an airline:

I think ANA’s boarding music ranks up there as well, especially in conjunction with an “I’m so sorry” and “thank you for waiting” chorus:

And then there’s Turkish… which deserves an award for staying stuck in your head for at least three days:

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.....

This is the full 30-minute version of the Etihad boarding music. No need to switch between part 1 and 2!
