Join us for a ride on the beautiful Lufthansa 747-400, a very rare bird these days, and even more so within Europe. We're flying from Palma in Mallorca (PMI) to Frankfurt, one of Lufthansa's special Sunday flights during Easter. We begin the day by planespotting at PMI and meeting up with a bunch of friends of Flightradar24 who've all come out to greet the arrival of the 747. There's a Swiss A340-300 landing as an added bonus! And then we race over to the terminal to catch the 747 on its return leg back to Frankfurt, and we've got one of the best seats in the house - 84A on the upper deck. That means incredible wing and engine views and plenty of roar from those GE engines.

Long live the Queen

@STEVE_C_1369 Год назад

I went to Palma in 1973 when I was in the Marines. I was aboard the USS Shreveport LPD12 for the Med Cruise. Palma was the most beautiful place Ive ever seen.Even seeing her from the ship deck at night at a distance was heart stopping. If you viewers get a chance to go there,dont deny yourself the visit of a lifetime.

@FlyingMaxFr Год назад

Place has changed a bit since 1973...but you can still find some georgous areas

@scienceownsimposters2142 Год назад

You will faint when you have the coming spiritual awakening and you find out what the magical and legendary Mallorca really is =).It is a glorious time to be alive!Researching with an open mind is a blessing.

I WAS ONBOARD! i didn't see you since i was in business class in the very front of the nose!

@meesjansen5049 Год назад

I was aboard both flights that day. LH1158 and LH1159. Best thing i have ever done!

@AlpineTerrier Год назад

Economically this aircraft makes a great deal of sense. Although it consumes more fuel than a modern aircraft, it doesn't consume x2 of what a narrowbody does. So, it's 1 plane but carrying 350-400 people rather than 2 planes each carrying half that. Just 1 crew needed not 2, just 1 gate and ground crew needed rather than 2. Lufthansa are smart.

@shelleysflyingdreams Год назад

Amazing views. I love 'The Queen.' I'd love to fly on her again before she is gone.

@Boodieman72 Год назад

747's are the best. If you want to see 747's en mass Anchorage is a major cargo hub and lots of 747's fly in and out.

D-ABVX was one of the first passenger 747-400 I spotted. Looking forward to see them back in action here at Mumbai. She is the perfect example of a flawless design. Love the interactive content on FR's youtube channel. Can't imagine my spotting sessions without FlightRadar app , Cheers ! Happy spotting ! 😁🥰

Come to Málaga Airport, you can get much closer to the aircraft landing and taking off.

@grudeman Год назад

Such a beautiful nostalgic bird. My favourite of all time. Was lucky enough to fly to vegas on virgin Atlantic a few years ago. I was astonished how big it was inside and the amount of people onboard, seeing a bar on an airplane and being able to go upstairs was something I'll never forget.

@alexhorascu6544 Год назад

I will fly on this route with the 747 in 14 day I cant wait

@bearbullcruising6427 Год назад

Must be nice to have the money to just casually take a business class flight because you like the plane haha. Life goals.

@GOLDENEYEAL Год назад

i mean this flight its honestly not that expensive.... palma to frankfurt its a couple hours flight. i'm going to book it just because of the plane also. flying to the US from europe is much much pricier i'm afraid

@petercraddy3809 Год назад

Reminds me of plane-spotting at BNE before they opened the second runway - there's signs on the fence at the spotting area advising 'beware of snakes' (and they're not the nice squeeze-you-to-death' types).

@rachelehrenberg9231 Год назад

As I fly from my home airport ZRH, we are very susceptible to the French ATC who are frequently either on strike or working purposely slow. Last time I missed a connection to JFK in Lisbon and TAP had to put us up for the night. I will be respectful .

@alangordon2062 Год назад

@JNK1337 Год назад

Whats the purpose of those 747 flights to palma? Isnt it more economic to increase the rotation count of narrowbody ?

@walkingmanvideo9455 Год назад

I have an engineering question. The engines on this model appear to be very forward after the leading edge.......I dont recall them being so far forward. Was this model issued with a design change on the engine placement?

We get it here in Toronto daily from Frankfurt. Me, being an AV geek, never flew on a wide body aircraft, only the 737-800. Hopefully I get my Citizenship this year So I can fly to Germany before she is gone for good.

@jacquesmarino7757 Год назад

Thank you Gabriel for another exciting experience and smooth pleasant editing, but most of all to keep the passion alive for those amazing flying machines. I flew the B747 Queen several times in & out of Sydney some years ago, when "economy" was still comfortable, I was always amazed to see its wings ondulate vastly upon landing and taking off...very impressive ! Now living by Nice Airport (and listening to ATCs) I wish I could see some visiting, as the biggest bird we used to spot : the Airbus A380 from Emirates stopped coming since the Covid pandemic. Thank you Gabriel, thank you FlightRadar

Whats the economics of this flight, vs a Ryanair flight?

@coril.1663 Год назад

I really loved this video. But PLEASE be sure to use wind protection for the microphone for following videos. This crackling killed my ears and the lovely turbine sound.

@OliviaO9 Год назад

When they landed they clapped bc they are basically thanking the pilot and saying well done for getting them there its pretty common actually

@sinoperture Год назад

Why are the passengers clapping when the plane lands? Is that a European thing?

@JayJayAviation Год назад

Yeah

@Flightradar24DotCom Год назад

No this is only because it was a special flight. Most European flights feature zero clapping.

@JayJayAviation Год назад

Note: I meant no 😅

@scienceownsimposters2142 Год назад

They are clapping because well you never know if you are going to land safely lol id clap too out of relief lmao

@GOLDENEYEAL Год назад

given the interest in this plane, other carriers should stop being such bit...es and do the right thing and at least keep one or a couple 747's in their fleet. I'm talking to you british airways, virgin atlantic, klm and so forth.... BRAVO LUFTHANSA!! Airplane enthusiasts and many, many passengers appreciate this aircraft and we definitely don't want to wave goodbye to it like we did with concorde. Keep the queen of the skies where it belongs!
