Welcome to my next trip report, covering travel in British Airways business & first class, RwandAir business class, and Norwegian premium economy, as well as stays at some (pleasantly surprising) points hotels. In late October and early November I took two big review trips, as I flew from:

It's because you are, Debit. With Lucky's previews, review in 10 pictures, and the official review, he's telling us the same thing 3 different times.
And before someone tells me to "just don't read it", I enjoy reading them, just pointing out how much content is being rehashed.
@Lucky - you've really mastered the art of milking the same trip for many, many posts. First the "my experience booking", then the preview, then the "in 10 pictures", then the quirky one off events (e.g. NBO welcoming ceremony), then the "Introduction" post (i.e. this one), and then finally the actual trip reports, which dribble out over many weeks.
Lucky for you we are all major avgeeks and can't get enough of it 🙂 Keep up the good work, sir.
I do think this report posted the day after that PE post, again illustrates the point raised by so many people...all the flights were booked on cash (except for the points upgrade).
Finding good premium fares is one thing but you’re starting off with the premise of “I have to travel in a premium cabin” instead of how to make the trip using points and miles, premium or not. All of these piecemeal segments, each >$1000 is not realistic for most of us.
So basically you spent $5000 to fly to Africa to stay in a chain hotel for a couple days and then chose to blog about it in 10 different posts.
Do you not see how apart from people who like looking at pics of planes/chain hotels, this is irrelevant, especially since your premise is supposed to be points/miles
Geez, tough crowd today. I enjoy all the side articles and previews - the more the better. Everything is interesting and I always learn something.
Speaking of previews, I hope you will give us a glimpse of what your 2019 travel plans look like and, as in the past, maybe ask for ideas of products to cover in the new year.
been 'one dollar at a time' here for the past year and a half or so. oh well, still enjoy reading about the premium products even if people (me) are never gonna fly these particular products.
@Lucky- Have you ever thought of uploading reviews of Hotels and flights on your Youtube Channel???? You would gain many more subscribers. (You don't even have to talk but just share your thoughts on the products in captions.)
Also, Wdym "had the best business class in all of Africa" EgyptAir, Kenya Airways and Ethiopian certainly aren't better and South African's almost Bankrupt and only have their product on select A330s.
Not holding my breath, but in theory good thoughts.
