Welcome to my next trip report series, which will include reviews of Lufthansa’s 787-9 business class, Condor’s A330-900neo business class, and Alaska’s 737-900ER first class. I’ll also be reviewing several lounges and a couple of airport hotels.

It's already the end of the week and you didn't tell us much about your trip from this week. Can't figure it out please help
Glad to see you're doing a review of the Lufty Lounge at DTW. I love to see what other people think about lounges I've actually been in. It's small but cozy, the food selection isn't very broad but it's well-prepared, the place clears out after the flight to FRA boards and you've got lots of room, and the beer and wine are self-serve, which does make it an improvement over a lot of United Clubs out there.
Funny enough, like Alaska, Qatar has a similar flight number suited for the destination. Their flight to Houston is QR713. I giggled a bit when I put that together
With your top-tier, highest of the high Hilton Diamond status (via the Aspire CC), I'm sure you will be rewarded for your loyalty at the Hilton Frankfurt Airport. Can't wait to hear all about it!
You should write about the 'advanced age Wise man' who El Al tortured and detained against his will, and want to calculate the value of 'great pain, agony and mental anguish'.
Other tabloid blogs picked it up already.
That's clickbait material.
It feels disingenuous to call that particular LH J product "new". For sure it's new to THEM, but it's not as if it's going to be installed on any other aircraft nor is it something they (LH) adopted to enhance the customer experience, nor is it even a remarkable J product at all. These (admittedly much better) seats are simply a side effect of LH picking up some surplus aircraft on the cheap. LH is benefiting from positive press through an anomaly, not some leadership/marketing decision. Let's not shower LH with praise for something they didn't actually do. Though I would prefer one of these seats over both their existing J and their (truly) new J.
At Seattle, you’ve got to try Cedar Brook Lodge. Relaxing, quiet, scenic with a great restaurant. Nothing like an airport hotel, but happens to be a short shuttle ride from SEA.
I noticed once that United's SFO to PEK flight was UA888 and PEK-EWR was UA88 -- don't think it's an accident either
The report is not correct. Only a FEW Conor NEO are flying. Actually last ( march 17.) week i have hat a Trip from FRA to Seychelles ,Business Class Condor....but an 28 year old B767 with an Business class of its time. EVERY Premium economy today is better...Just last week a Condor ,also 29 years old, hat to return to FRA after 4 hours ,because of technical problems. Condor makes great stories, but let all older 767 fly....for the same pricing as the NEOs....so, if you want to fly the Condor NEO, just ask before booking, which airline you REALLY will get....
