After a whirlwind trip to Singapore, it was time to start my journey back home. I booked a Cathay Pacific business class award ticket all the way from Singapore to Toronto. The reason I chose to fly to Toronto is because the Hong Kong to Toronto flight…
For my second back-to-back redeye, it was time to fly Finnair's A350-900 business class from Helsinki to Singapore. I had flown Finnair's A350 business class from New York to Helsinki a few years ago, but was curious how the experience to Asia compared,…
After spending my layover at the British Airways Arrivals Lounge and then the Aerotel, it was time to continue my journey on Finnair to Singapore via Helsinki. While I could have redeemed British Airways Avios (or other oneworld miles) for this trip,…
To kick off this trip I flew British Airways' A350-1000 Club Suites from Toronto to London Heathrow. The A350 features British Airways' brand new business class seat, which is ushering in a new era for British Airways, given their previous woefully outdated…
I had flown Brussels Airlines' A330 business class once before several years ago, but the airline recently introduced a new business class cabin, and I was excited to check it out. The airline is still in the process of rolling out this product, but…
My fourth transatlantic crossing of the week would be on Brussels Airlines, as I'd fly them from London to New York via Brussels. The motivation for this was to fly Brussels Airlines' new A330-300 business class, which is consistently being offered on…
I spent the night at the Marriott Newark Airport (which I've reviewed before, so I won't be reviewing it this time around), and early the next morning I headed to Newark Airport bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (or something like that) for my daytime United…
And the award for the most improved airline goes to... La Compagnie is an all business class airline that began flying between Paris and Newark in the summer of 2014. I flew the airline shortly after they launched, and had a "meh" experience. However,…
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…
