Have you ever flown in a Boeing 747? In this post I tell you about finally flying on the “Queen of the Skies” between Miami and Frankfurt with Lufthansa.
It's not every day you get the chance to fly on an aviation icon.. On my last trip, I finally got to cross something off my bucket list.: fly in a Boeing 747, specifically the Lufthansa version 8i, on the route between Miami and Frankfurt. With so few available still flying with passengers, This was almost a luxury..
Although many look for the famous upper deck, On this occasion I stayed on the lower deck in economy class to live the real experience of the majority of passengers in this giant of the air.
Flying in a Boeing 747 they Lufthansa
Flying in a four-engine plane has a special mystique. From the moment you see him at the gate, you realize that it is not an ordinary flight. During the crossing of the Atlantic, I noticed several points that I wanted to share with you.:
- The feeling of takeoff: Does it feel different to move such a structure on the track?
- Cabin configuration: What is the space and layout like on the lower deck?.
- Lufthansa service: How was the food and service on a long-haul night flight?.
Curious fact: There is something about the sound of the engines and the stability of this plane that makes it unique compared to more modern and smaller models..
The full video of the experience
So they can feel like they are there with me, I recorded the entire process: from spotting at Miami airport to landing in Frankfurt. In the video you can see the details of the entertainment system (very bad), legroom and what a transatlantic flight is like on the 747-8i, the latest and most modern version of the Queen.

Is it the Boeing 747 your favorite plane?
Regrettably, These planes are increasingly difficult to find on commercial routes. I am very happy to have been able to document this experience before they become museum pieces.
Have you been lucky enough to fly on a 747 or would you like to do it soon? I'll wait for you in the comments of the video to chat about aviation and this enormous, but beautiful plane.
