I recently experienced a flight with Lufthansa on their Boeing 747-400 from Washington Dulles to Frankfurt. The journey commenced at Washington Dulles International Airport, where the Lufthansa Group operates in the B Concourse. The boarding process utilized two gates to expedite passenger entry onto the aircraft.

The flight departed slightly behind schedule at 18:13 and lasted approximately seven hours. Onboard, passengers were served drinks and snacks shortly after takeoff, followed by a dinner service offering Thai Coconut Chicken Curry or penne pasta. The airline provided metal silverware featuring its logo.

The aircraft, a Boeing 747-400 registered as D-ABVY, has been part of Lufthansa's fleet since its first flight in December 2000 and is expected to remain operational until January 2027.

During the flight, passengers received full-sized water bottles before settling down for sleep. Breakfast included fruit and a marble loaf, with additional whole fruits offered before landing.

The flight concluded with an on-time arrival at Frankfurt Airport. Overall, the experience highlighted the spaciousness of the cabin and attention to detail in service offerings.
