Here are some photos of my recent flight in Busine Here are some photos of my recent flight in Business Class from Frankfurt to Miami onboard a @Lufthansa Boeing 747-8. Swipe right for more photos!

Flying the Boeing 747 – dubbed the Queen of the Sky – is always an epic experience and Lufthansa is one of the last remaining airlines in the world that still flies this aircraft type, with 27 Boeing 747s in its fleet. The Boeing 747 has been a bestseller with airlines: between the first 747 flight on February 9th 1969 and the end of the 747 production line last year, Boeing has built 1,560 B747 aircraft. The 747-8 is the latest, quieter, more economical, and more environmentally friendly version of the famous aircraft type. The B747-8 features similar engines & cockpit technology as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It is also the world’s longest airplane with a fuselage length of 251 feet (77 m).

But while the Boeing 747 is a marvel of technology (I always feel privileged to fly on one), Lufthansa’s Business Class does not match the grandeur of its flagship aircraft. The cabin configuration (2-2-2 on the lower deck and 2-2 on the upper deck), the lack of privacy as well as the mediocre amenities are disappointing and way behind most of the carrier’s Business Class competitors. The good news is that Lufthansa will introduce a new Business Class seat and cabin layout by next year, so that’s something to look forward to!

I recently flew in an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER fe I recently flew in an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER featuring the carrier’s newest and game-changing First Class product from Dubai (DXB) to Brussels (BRU). With floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, virtual windows, a fully flat bed with zero-gravity position, and a sleek design inspired by Mercedes-Benz, Emirates’ new B777 First Class suite takes luxury and privacy to the next level ✈️

Emirates’ new First Class is only available on a small subfleet of B777-300ER aircraft which operate a limited number of routes. It’s unclear if Emirates plans to retrofit its existing B777 and A380 fleet with the new First Class suites due to exorbitant costs (upwards of $30 million USD per aircraft).
