Lufthansa - 747 400 - Upper Deck Business Class - New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) | TRIP REPORT

I sat upstairs on Lufthansa's 747-400 in Business Class, and it was awesome! My ticket was initially booked in Economy, but a week before the flight I got an email offering a $900 fee to upgrade on the red-eye flight from New York to Frankfurt. Lufthansa is Germany's largest airline along with one of the few carriers still operating the 747-400 (nicknamed Queen of the Skies). Its remaining fleet of 8 double-deckers won't be around much longer, with rumors of a retirement imminent around 2026. The 747-400's in Lufthansa's fleet do not offer First Class, unlike the 747-8's. And honestly the Business Class product in the -400 is unimpressive and outdated. Frankfurt-based competitor Condor Airlines offers a much better product and service for half the booking price. I hope you enjoy my comprehensive review/trip report! Follow @quintinsoloviev & @qfsaviation on Instagram to keep up with my travels! FLIGHT INFORMATION ------ Airli
