Jason, who is a regular contributor, wrote a review about the decline of First Class in the airline industry. Due to economic recessions and changing demand for business travel, many airlines have started to eliminate their First Class cabins as a way to cut costs. Only a few airlines, including British Airways, Air France, Swiss, Lufthansa, and American Airlines, still offer First Class on certain long-haul flights. The number of aircraft that feature First Class has decreased over the past decade, with British Airways leading in terms of the number of First-class seats available.
Jason booked a flight in First Class with Lufthansa using Avianca LifeMiles. He was excited to experience First Class with a different airline and to travel on a Boeing 747-8, a variant that he had never flown on before. He started his journey in Economy class on a flight from Manchester to Frankfurt. Although the flight was short, he was impressed by the service and comfort provided by Lufthansa.
Upon arriving in Frankfurt, Jason explored Lufthansa’s First Class ground offerings at the airport. He visited the First Class Lounge, which he found to be elegant and well-appointed. The lounge offered a variety of amenities, including dining areas, a bar, workspaces, and even a cigar lounge. Jason enjoyed a meal and some drinks before heading to the First Class Terminal. The terminal was smaller than expected but provided a more exclusive experience for First Class passengers.
In the First Class Terminal, Jason was impressed by the personalized service and luxurious amenities. He had access to nap rooms, a bar, and a dining area with a limited but high-quality menu. The staff were friendly and attentive, making his experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Jason found the First Class ground offerings of Lufthansa to be excellent, with the lounges providing a quiet and luxurious environment for passengers flying in First Class.
