robertk Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I just thought, how bazaar. Looking at reps from 40,000 ft somewhere over the atlantic (heading for Sofia).

cornerstone Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 If I get up on my chair I can read the forum from two feet higher than normal. It's not dramatically different from up here, I have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, now I want to fly Lufthansa just so I can browse RWG while I fly!!! So the question is, where can I go on Lufthansa?!?! If I get up on my chair I can read the forum from two feet higher than normal. It's not dramatically different from up here, I have to say.

lionsandtigers Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 are you in first class or business class? i just flew home from germany on Lufthansa, and i didnt even have a tv let alone the internet!!!! cute flight attendants though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willith Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 This has to be some kind of record, can anyone beat the 40K thing? Where's Jetmid when you need him, he had to have the internet on his private jet and it probably skipped across the atmosphere at mach 7 and had a T1 connection or maybe a direct satellite link with NASA or something.

fitmic Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Is that Boeing close to the gen? I once flew the German fighter plane Fokker which was pretty damn perfect, besides the misspelled [censored]er on the panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onezero Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 are you in first class or business class? i just flew home from germany on Lufthansa, and i didnt even have a tv let alone the internet!!!! cute flight attendants though Yeah last time I was on a Lufthansa 747 there were crap old TV's on the roof spaced along the middle and the thing shook and rattled like nothing had been tightened since it was made in the 70s! Plus the food left a lot to be desired. Singapore Airlines and Emirates are my fav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I had free internet on Lufthansa Economy flying from EU to LAX two weeks ago and then back last week. The only problem in Economy is lack of space to put your laptop in front of you...unless you have a micromachine. To me food sucks on all airlines...if you can't afford first class. It allways reminds me of field meals we had in the army... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertk Posted November 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'm back down to earth in Sofia. I was business class so had plenty of room. What was interesting was that the wireless on the 747 seemed faster than most?? BTW, Lufthansa 747 business class is the best of the European airlines in my view. I will use it whenever I can now. It's gonna be a new age.......as someone said, there is no getting away now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they even have cell towers on cruise ships now - its still crazy expensive - but good for emergencies I still have - Oh, i was in the basement in a meeting, just got signal back now.

omni Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Thanks for the great insight Robert, I'll look into business class Luftansa next time to EU. Have a good trip, did you bring your Viagra Blue IWC? I'm always flying at thousands of feet too when I log into the rep. forums, but its usually from the results of a bottle.

Enjoying on my wrist as we type. Take it easy on the bottle. I prefer a joint. that way I don't tend to lose consciousness..........just a little reality.
