As an aviation and hotel geek I couldn’t help but investigate a bit…

A few weeks ago I wrote about Cathay Pacific's botched paint job. They sent a 777 off to Xiamen to be repainted in the new livery, and it was flown back to Hong Kong with the…

The airline has four Boeing 787-8s on order, which will complement their existing longhaul fleet, consisting of six Boeing 777s (two 777-200ERs and four 777-300ERs). While Biman Bangladesh's flagship route is to London, I questioned whether they'd…

You can bet I’ll be on that flight only shortly after it launches.

Since we were departing from a remote stand, we boarded via air stairs through door L2. There I was pointed left into the first class cabin. While the previous plane had TAAG's new first class, this…

Luanda Airport doesn’t have any jet bridges, so from the remote stand we were driven to the terminal in a separate first class bus. Once inside the terminal the immigration checkpoint…

However, there was nothing about the experience that was actively bad or uncomfortable. It was about what I was expecting the experience to be, except the pleasant surprise of the seats and Wi-Fi. I…

For example, I've written about two Ghanian airlines that have supposedly intended to launch operations in the past year or so. One of them is Goldstar Air, which is a Ghana-based airline that planned…

This isn’t necessarily a luxury thing, but rather a cost and schedule thing, given how many people they’re transporting. Chartering a jet isn’t that prohibitively expensive when you’re transporting dozens and dozens of people.

He also happens to be an aviation geek, which doesn't hurt, and in particular is why I love his monthly program, CNN Business Traveller. For this month's CNN Business Traveller, Richard took a look at the development of United's…
