Lufthansa Trip Report flying from Frankfurt to Miami onboard one of the Lufthansa Boeing 747-8i on a lovely autumn morning.

Wow! What a flight... what initially looked like an absolutely standard flight over the Atlantic turned out to be the first medical diversion recorded on the channel. Once we were already cruising over the Atlantic Ocean, well into it, the crew started moving medical kits and the catering service was not performed. Later, we saw how the plane was making a 180° turn and, a few minutes later, the captain informed us that we were diverting to Lisboa due to a medical emergency. We soon saw as well how we were dumping fuel to reduce the weight to the limits to land in Lisboa.

We stayed 2h30min in Lisbon. The refueling took a lot. Probably they had to use small trucks to refuel this huge beast, and that led to the bug waiting time. Finally, we started pushback in Lisbon and started, again, our flight to Miami, now scheduled to be 8h15min. The views both on arrival and departure from Lisbon were truly amazing.

After departure from Lisbon, we turned left and started to fly over the Atlantic for the next 7 hours. Nothing special here, just water everywhere until reaching Florida. Due to the diversion to Lisbon, our flight ended in Miami already during the night, which allowed us to enjoy a really beautiful night approach.

However, when it seemed that the flight had had it all with the emergency onboard... destiny, once again, showed us why we should look out the window: just before starting the descent to Miami, we were able to watch the takeoff of a SpaceX Falcon 9 from our window!! It was spectacular and something that I'm sure I'll never see again... Just Amazing!

About the catering service, the crew first served some drinks, just after departing from Frankfurt. Then, they started the main catering service, but they only served the first rows, as the medical problem arose. In the end, we stayed more than 5 hours (+1h of boarding and little delay on departure) with only 2 glasses of drinks. It is not the crew's fault, but some water in Lisbon, for the more than 2h on the ground would have been a good option.

The main meal came just after reaching the cruise altitude on the flight from Lisbon to Miami. The typical mediocre Lufthansa catering: no options for the main course (just ravioli), a lettuce salad (the taste was with sauce), a cold bread roll, butter, and a piece of Bree cheese. The dessert was a tiny piece of artificial chocolate cake. Lufthansa has a lot to improve here, but it looks like they don't care too much about it.

All in all a really interesting flight with Lufthansa onboard the Queen of the Skies, the always amazing Boeing 747. For those that are new on the channel, you've probably only seen me criticizing Lufthansa. Those that are followers the channel for a long time know that I was a big fan of this airline. The service,  even on European flights, was among the best. Now it is just a bad joke of what Lufthansa used to be; now it's just another airline that accepts to offer a very mediocre service. They've lost the crown and they don't show any sign of sadness for that.

Now it's your turn! Have you ever flown with Lufthansa? Which route? On which plane? How was the experience? What do you think about the current Lufthansa onboard service? Have you ever flown on a Boeing 747 Have you ever had an Emergency landing? Have you ever seen a space rocket from a plane?
Lots of things to talk about! Read you all in the comments!
