Just a few months ago I was able to review Swiss Business Class from Zurich to San Francisco and thought it was a decent product (with a good number of flaws). However, I consider the Swiss airline ‘Premium’ brand in Economy and was looking forward to my flight. San Francisco International Terminal is connected to […]
For this Qatar Economy flight from Malta to Addis Abeba, I had reviewed a few options. I wasn’t sure what kind of aircraft Qatar Airways would use for the Doha to Addis Abeba leg (the equipment varies from an A320 to a 777W/L and B787). I also assumed the A320 from Doha would just come […]
Air China is the only Chinese airline that is part of Star Alliance (besides Shenzen Airlines) and seems to have been given a bit of ‘premier mission’ from the state owners. As you can observe at many airports their lounges are in a slightly better spot and the organization is slightly more professional. I had […]
I have had my share of Economy Business and First Class experiences on Cathay Pacific. Most of them have been very positive. I was curious what would have changed for this trip from Johannesburg to San Francisco. Cathay Pacific uses one of (the many) Priority Pass lounges at Johannesburg airport. These lounges all have the […]
I had just flown over the Pacific a few days before this trip and was looking forward to enjoying one of my favorite business class products (especially for sleeping) again. Unfortunately, the inbound flight from Hong Kong had to make an emergency medical stop in Taipei on the way to San Francisco and that would […]
Cathay Pacific has been my go-to airline to get to Asia for a long time. I love the Cathay Pacific Business Class mini-suites (more so than Cathay Pacific First Class) and the airline goes to almost anywhere I want. Cathay Pacific Economy Class Cebu (CEB) to Hong Kong (HKG) on the A330, including the Plaza […]
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 has a near monopoly position on most domestic routes in New Zealand. The airline earns on average NZD 20 cents per seat kilometer flown from their domestic operations – that is about double what they see in international operations. The domestic terminal at Auckland Airport is a low-key, yet efficient affair. To […]
After deplaning from my prior Saudia flight from Kochi, I followed the rather flimsy signs towards transit. An overly sleepy single attendant manned the security checkpoint and mentioned that he expected just four (!) other transit passengers within the hour. Not a busy day then! Riyadh Airport has two terminals that are interconnected behind security with […]
China Eastern has been taking to the skies with very aggressive fares in economy and business class all across the planet. China Eastern is the main driver of sub $500 (and often sub $400) fares round-trip from the US to Southeast Asia now. I was very curious to try their product. I had two flights […]
