TR Kuwait Airways Islamabad-Kuwait-Frankfurt in F
 
Flight with Kuwait Airways ISB-KWI-FRA in F

Iam very sorry for the late post...Iam a bit busy with my studies so I have sadly not enough time.
Sadly I hadnt also time to made a complete Trip Report with Text - so this TR is primary filled with Pics.
But I hope you will enjoy it anyway.

ISB Departure Lounge

Flight from ISB to KWI was an Airbus A300 - Unfortunetely I havnt made any pics on that flight sector.

I never saw a B747-400 operating to Frankfurt - so I was really happy when I realized that this Jumbo will take me back to Frankfurt. By the way as far as I know this is not a regulair KU Aircraft more it is a Aircraft of the Government of Kuwait.
You can see that on the Seal on the Aircraft and also later after Landing the Seal appears on the Screen.

Sitting in First Row in F - amazing Space in front of me :) Feeling like beeing in a Living room or in a Privat Jet :)

Lunch had started - there was a great selection of different Kind of meals

I took some Chicken with Rice

Somewhere over Europe

KU175 (B744) after Arrival at Frankfurt had continued its Flight to Geneve after this short stop in FRA

This chocolate was really delicious :D

Service onBoard was great - but KU has to update their Aircraft Cabin or has to buy new Aircraft.
Their First Class can not compare with other Arab Careers Business Class(such as Emirates, Etihad or Oman Air)

Hope you enjoy viewing the Pics...Once again sorry for not posting detailed Trip Report - will do it next time for next Trip.
But If you have any questions or comment feel free to post :)

This was exactly the Aircraft I came with - I arrived on 28 SEP and on 29 SEP it flew back from Geneve via FRA to KWI

Interesting trip report.

I'd venture to guess that all the extra space in F is for prayers during flight...

and I was about to say what a waste of space. I guess they could be used for prayers but wouldn't it be better if they could place that area behind the upper deck cabin?

That plane looks unreal... and straight out of the 1970s! Why on Earth would anyone pay for that is beyond my imagination...

But some wonder why on earth I pay what I pay for some of the wines that I drink. Different strokes.

Thanks OP. nice TR. it is rare that I see reports like this on this airline.

The TR is missing the most important thing: How does the F seat looks like ;)

Not one single shot of the F seat :confused:

lakers6902 Dec 15, 2012 11:17 am

Yea I was hoping for pics of the F seats.

Wonder why they didnt fill in the empty space with another two or so seats.

Jofneytoad Dec 15, 2012 11:21 am

You could have a game of football in the cabin there's so much room...

NYBanker Dec 15, 2012 10:12 pm

Thanks for sharing.

The only other pax that gets remotely close to that sort of legroom is the Pope!

Hamad, despite the massive leg room in F, the seats weren't flat beds, right?

UrbaneGent Dec 17, 2012 12:08 am

Thanks for the pics - I was scrolling down hoping to see the actual seat instead of the bathroom :)

c_alt24 Dec 17, 2012 1:41 pm

Wow that is definitely unique. Would love to see anymore pics you might have from inside the plane.
