Lufthansa's stylish First Class is one of Europe's most adored and exclusive travel experiences.

The fun begins at a private terminal dedicated to First Class passengers, where attendants helped me through a quick security screening. Amenities inside the facility included a restaurant, cigar lounge, showers and bathtubs, hotel rooms, workstations, dozens of newspapers, and a Lufthansa concierge desk. A team of limo drivers takes each passenger from the First Class Terminal directly to their gate.

Being onboard the double-decker 747 Queen of the Skies is a thrill. The First Class cabin is located on the first floor in the nose, where only 8 seats are available in a spacious layout. It's a 14-year-old seat product that doesn't compete well with the Gulf carrier's First Class pods. Starting this year, Lufthansa will replace these aging seats with a new "Allegris" product that features a much larger and fully enclosed suite.

I believe Lufthansa excelled most during the lunch service. The walnut-crusted steak was tender and delicious, and the cheeses offered throughout tasted amazing. I also learned that Lufthansa is the world's largest consumer of caviar, buying about 10 tons annually, which is around 5% of the world's caviar supply.

As the Flag carrier of Germany and Europe's second-largest airline, Lufthansa operates with a level of professionalism, and I noticed crew members taking pride in their positions.
