Ever since my first Etihad experience in the “Apartment” I’ve wanted to fly sitting backwards in first class on their 787.
This would be my third attempt to fly Singapore Airlines new 787-10. Spoiler alert: fantastic aircraft, unforced error by SQ for avgeeks who love the 787 windows.
For years the bloggers would post British Airlines First Class was the best Business Class in the skies. Well they certainly weren’t on this flight. British Airways 787 in First Class for this blogger any day.
So now I would be on a 787-9 with Super Diamond seats, probably my favorite J class seat. It killed my try different things plan but a 787 with a great seat was nothing to pout about.
Sure it’s only a little over an hour flight so you don’t get the full treatment, but I must say the treatment on an Asian airline for an hour flight is far different from the treatment on an hour long US Domestic flight.
Having flown ANA’s 787 with their regional recliner seat, as well as their 777 with the staggered business class seat, I was anxious to try the newer staggered seat for the 787-9 series.
On October 1st, 2018 United announced the inaugural flight of their new Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. Without much contemplation I decided I wanted to be on this flight.
The 30 Super Diamond business class seats are all located in the front cabin before door 2.
Nevertheless I’ve wanted to experience the 2 787 models that American flies. This gave me the opportunity to “kill two birds” with one 25,000 saver award ticket.
I traded a day in Brisbane for 120 minutes on Qantas’ new 787-9 just to experience this well publicized aircraft. I’m glad I did.
Finally it was off to Gate 60, just 2 minutes downstairs from the lounge where I met Chip. Chip was standing right in the middle of the boarding area where...
It's always important to leave on a positive note, pajamas in business class.
Tokyo to New Delhi was a day flight, meaning eat and watch movies, so the question I pondered was if this flight would be up to the task.
A highlight of connecting through Narita on a Japan Airlines flight in premium class is being able to visit the Sakura Lounge.
Fortunately my stomach chose to be hungry this day. It picked the right day to do that. So a few hours after this incredible meal I decided to have another look.
Yes I was hoping for the first Air New Zealand all black 787, but if not getting it was the biggest disappointment then this was a great flight. Besides, you can't see the outside of the plane from the inside!
I admit being very excited to fly on a 787 for an extended period. I wanted to see how the lower pressurization in the 787 cabin affected me.
While Icheon Airport in Seoul gets all the accolades, their regional airport Gimpo, is amazing as well. Easy to get to with using the subway you walk underground from the subway station to the airport. The terminal itself is fairly small. Typical for a major city’s second regional airport. It’s brand new and empty.
