Paul, I subscribe to a number of flight enthusiast/review channels (as most of us here do). While I feel that there is certainly room for all of them here, reviews like this just do something others can’t. Maybe it’s your personality and style, or maybe I’m just an American Yankee charmed by the British accent - either way, thanks for what you do - pretty cool to travel first class up front on the Queen from my backyard. Cheers.

I did the same route in 2006 just when the First class terminal was new. It was an amazing experience and was lucky to use miles to upgrade to first again in 2008 to EZE via Sao Paulo and in 2015 to Dubai. It is an amazing experience but you feel spoilt and difficult to endure the regular airport experience after that.

I had the pleasure of flying first class in the 747 nose on an Alitalia flight from Bangkok to Rome a good few years ago. Sublime experience! That semi-forward view through the front windows has to be unique in flying on a large commercial jet.

I have siblings in Europe. I’m in America. So to Europe I fly Lufthansa First Class (fav seat 1A) and then purposely schedule a 2.5 hour layover in Frankfurt to shower, refresh, have a meal in the restaurant and then continue on. On return home I usually fly Swiss First or SAS Business (depending which sibling I’m visiting) nonstop because I just want to get home to my own bed. 😉. Without a doubt, I think Lufthansa First is the best for my needs 👍🏻. Glad you enjoyed it Paul

Great video, Paul, as always. Glad you got to finally experience 1A on the LH B747-8 🙂 I missed out on the First Class Terminal, and even the lounge, due to a very tight connection when I tried but the in-flight service was amazing and 1A is unmatched. Some aspects were less five-star, like losing my luggage outbound and bumping me to BA on the return. But, at those ex-Gothenburg prices it might be worth giving LH another try. I'm off to 'The Matrix' 😉 Rob.

Hello Paul - I am delighted you had the opportunity to sample the landside F class lounge. I was lucky to attend the opening ceremony a number of years ago. There is nothing quite like this facility anywhere in the world. Lufthansa hides its top product under a bushel. Pre-pandemic Lufthansa also had an airside F class lounge (intended for transfer pax). But it wasn't as good and I am not sure whether or not it is open now (it might have closed during the pandemic).
