My direct flight from San Francisco to Frankfurt on a Lufthansa A380 (in premium economy) is a delight. I go out of my way to get that flight on that plane. Room to stretch out and walk around makes such a difference. But I don't know what the economics behind planes like this is - maybe it's not so great an experience for the airlines as it is for passengers.
- inferiorhuman 8y agoI've done the opposite flight on Lufthansa in an A380 in cattle class, it's still a delight. The A380 is still exceedingly quiet and comfortable, and the Lufthansa product was exceptional (especially compared to United). That said there's probably a fair amount of pressure for the German flag carrier to fly the premier German plane.
- dk1138 8y agoI've had the luck of doing this flight in 1st class a few times. It is bar-none the best flying experience I've ever had. There is little to no sound pollution up that far. They have closets instead of overhead bins, so you have tall ceilings that really open up the space. The bathrooms are huge. No showers, but huge. It is the only flight experience where I've gotten off the plane feeling more rested than when I got on.
- andjd 8y agoAgreed. Even flying economy the A380 feels a lot less cramped than any other plane I've flown on and for long-haul flights, that's a big deal.
