While I've flown Air France several times before, I specifically flew them from Toronto to Paris because I wanted to fly the A350. Toronto is currently the only North American city to which they fly the plane, and it's a new addition to their fleet.…
Boy was I excited to fly Virgin Atlantic's A350-1000! Not only was it my first time flying Virgin Atlantic in several years (and I love Virgin Atlantic), but it was also my first time experiencing their new Upper Class. Lastly, the A350-1000 is one of…
On this trip we had the chance to fly Virgin Atlantic's brand new A350-1000 Upper Class. The airline unveiled this seat earlier in the year, and it only began flying between London and New York as of a few weeks ago. Before I formally review the flight,…
I don't know why I was so excited about flying TAROM business class, given that intra-Europe business class is rarely anything to get excited about. I guess there were potentially a couple of reasons: -- TAROM is one of the last several airlines belonging…
After an incredible Turkish Airlines 787 business class flight and a quick layover, it was time to connect to Romania on Turkish Airlines (you can see the previous installment for details on how we redeemed miles for this flight). Our flight was leaving…
I've long been a huge fan of Turkish Airlines' incredible business class soft product. Previously their flagship aircraft was the 777, which featured fully flat business class seats in a 2-3-2 configuration. That's why I was really excited to try Turkish…
Boy was I excited about this flight! I had flown Qsuites on Qatar Airways' 777-300ER before, but this was my first time flying their A350 Qsuites, and my first ever flight on any A350-1000 (I was on Qatar Airways' first-ever A350-900 flight back in 2015,…
After a once in a lifetime trip, it was time for the long journey home. We managed to all travel back on the same flight using miles, with what I consider to be one of the best award chart sweet spots out there. Qatar Airways has my favorite business…
After an unforgettable six days on safari, it was time to visit Cape Town for a few days. We had to fly Federal Air from Kruger National Park to Johannesburg (which I've already reviewed). From there we flew Comair from Johannesburg to Cape Town. Comair…
As I mentioned in the previous post, Federal Air is one of the airlines that specializes in offering flights to safari camps in South Africa. We were staying at Singita Boulders in Sabi Sands Reserve, and then Singita Lebombo in Kruger National Park,…
I'll keep this review relatively short, and will focus on what made this flight unique. I was more detailed in my review of the New York to Paris flight a couple of days prior. Then there's my most detailed Air France first class review ever, which was…
I last reviewed Air France La Premiere on a flight a couple of years ago from Paris to Houston. I say that up front because that review was much more detailed than I'll make this one in terms of the hard product, while this review will mostly be focused…
After flying from Miami to Toronto on American Airlines, we spent one night in Toronto. We just stayed at the Sheraton Gateway Toronto Airport, which I've reviewed before, so won't be writing about again this time. We met my dad in Toronto, and then…
Since you guys seemed to enjoy my recent review of Delta's 737 first class, I've decided to review more domestic (or in this case transborder) flights. To kick off our awesome trip, Ford and I flew to Toronto, which is where we were meeting my dad (he…
To finish off the trip, Ford and I flew to Tampa, both so we could see my mom, and also so we could pick up Winston, because he had spent the past couple of weeks hanging out with her. Any flight where Winston is waiting on the other end feels as long…
While I've flown British Airways first class many times before, there were a couple of things that would make my flight from London to Boston unique: -- This would be my first time flying British Airways' 777 first class; up until now I've only flown…
To return from Mykonos to the US we decided to fly British Airways, given what a convenient routing they had available. Getting from Mykonos to the US same day without leaving at the crack of dawn is a challenge. Furthermore, it's great to be able to…
I had an incredible review trip trying all kinds of amazing business class products. Suffice to say that this portion of the trip ended on a low note. I actually reviewed EasyJet last year as I flew them between Milan and Santorini, though this time…
And now it's time for a review of the MVP of this trip, in my opinion. Actually, there might be one more pleasant surprise coming up after this. To get back to Europe I was flying Thai Airways' A350-900 to Milan. While Thai Airways has several destinations…
After flying from Newark to Brussels to Vienna, my next flight was to Bangkok on EVA Air's 787-9, featuring their new business class product. EVA Air's Vienna flight alternates between operating nonstop to Taipei, and operating via Bangkok. This was…
After flying from Hartford to Dublin on Aer Lingus and then from Porto to Newark on TAP Air Portugal, I spent a night at the Marriott Newark Airport. I've reviewed the hotel before, so won't be doing so again. The next evening it was off to Brussels…
