After my great experience with Air New Zealand Business Class from San Francisco to Auckland, I was excited to be onboard the same product (but different airplane) again for my flight to Brisbane. Immigration and Security at the International Terminal in Auckland looked intimidating with long lines but they moved quickly and it took less […]
Air New Zealand runs a massive business class lounge for their premium passengers at Auckland International Airport. How well does the Air New Zealand Business Class Lounge treat passengers? When I arrived at the lounge at 7.30 AM, I had no idea that I had just hit the busiest time of day with many domestic […]
United has been busy behind the scenes for almost two years in renovating its huge United Club that’s just after security at the San Francisco International Terminal. Polaris branding came along in the meantime and the re-opening had been delayed for quite some time. It finally happened about a week ago and Oscar Munoz officially […]
I flew on Garuda’s A330 in their new business class last August from Jakarta to Denpasar in Bali. This time, I took the same flight booked in economy for just $130 one-way but got into the very first economy aisle emergency exit row – basically sitting in the aisle of business class (this is a very […]
Asiana has always been an airline I’ve gone back to, despite its issues. It’s just so well-integrated into Star Alliance and award availability isn’t an issue either. I arrived early with my connecting flight into LAX and made my way from the United terminal to the Tom Bradley International Terminal. You can walk there without […]
Ever since Air France introduced its new business class product, I have wanted to try it and with this Air France Business Class flight from Paris to Dubai, I got the chance. Air France Business Class seats are the newer generation of the seats we all love from Cathay Pacific Business Class. It’s very private, […]
Bali Airport has recently seen an upgrade and the duty free area now raises the heart rate of anyone from China. So it was that night – immigration and security were quick but passing through the duty free area took longer than immigration and security. The Garuda Business Class Lounge at Denpasar Airport is a […]
Garuda Indonesia uses the international configuration for a number of flights between the busiest airports in Indonesia Jakarta and Denpasar. Terminal 3 at Jakarta airport was just inaugurated a few weeks ago and everything is still shiny. It looks more than Singapore Changi Airport than what you are used to from Jakarta airport. Garuda is […]
The Star Alliance Lounge in Paris is located in Terminal 1 at Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG). It’s a 15-minute drive from Terminal 2, which is used by the dominating SkyTeam carriers. If you are behind security, there is a network of buses that can get you there and outside security a train can take […]
Originally I was booked in Turkish Airlines’ direct flight from San Francisco to Istanbul but the airline decided to cancel my flight two weeks before departure and re-book me into a flight a day later which would have made my onward connection impossible. So I called United and they re-booked me after some back and […]
Malawian Airlines is the product of the bankrupt Air Malawi and the investment of Ethiopian Airlines into a national airline. Malawi is not exactly a huge country, so the fleet size of the airline is just two planes so far. Ethiopian loaned the airline a Bombardier Q400 and a somewhat aging 737-700. Malawian Airlines serves […]
The lounge situation at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport isn’t great, since part of the terminal burnt down a few years ago. Two years ago, South African Regional Business Class gave me a voucher for a rather terrible coffee shop instead of any lounge access. Now Turkish Airlines has invested in a proper lounge at […]
The Qatar Airways Al Safwa First Class Lounge has been open for a few months and has helped the Middle East carrier to cement its premium image. Last week I had the chance to test out the Al Safwa Lounge and compare it with the Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Business Class Lounge. Of course my […]
After my 10-day ‘layover’ in Hong Kong (and after exploring Phnom Penh and Hanoi), I was curious to see how much I’d like the A330 configuration for Cathay Pacific Business Class. I decided to use the Terminal 1 lounge across from Gate 4 – ‘The Wing’ – and to my surprise it was rather empty that […]
Dragonair is to Cathay Pacific in Asia what Eurowings is to Lufthansa in Europe – it’s the way Cathay competes with the low-cost competition. The airline is part of Oneworld, so unlike SilkAir (which is not part of Star Alliance) but like SA Airlink, which is a Star Alliance affiliate. Dragonair gets its equipment from old Cathay planes […]
I had used 30,000 American Airlines miles pre-devaluation for this one-way from Dublin to New Delhi via Abu Dhabi in Etihad Business Class. Etihad runs a combination of A330 and 777W planes on this route and as luck would have it, I got a 777. My chauffeur showed up right at the agreed time and […]
Etihad Airways has laudably invested in a number of lounges in smaller outstations. Among others Etihad has its own dedicated lounge in Dublin. If you have been to the Etihad Business Class Lounge in London Heathrow (Review) the lounge in Dublin will be a major deja-vu. There is the same color code used and very […]
The Oryx Lounge is the best Business Class alternative at Doha International airport if you don’t have access to the excellent Qatar Business Class Lounge Al Mourjan (Review) . I got access to the lounge because of Etihad Business Class flight that same day. When we arrived at the lounge we just had come off […]
As part of my journey back with Air Tahiti Nui (Review) from Papeete to San Francisco I had another chance to use the Oneworld Business Class lounge at LAX. Last time I was there it had just opened. I was on an American domestic flight and used my Qantas Gold status to enter the lounge […]
