One of the hardest reward tickets to procure is flying Qantas A380 service across the Pacific. After reserving the reward a year in advance and flying it my question is, why?
After a gloomy day weather and flight wise on the east side of Australia, a new day west brought sunshine and lots of positive surprises.
The trip to Melbourne offered the opportunity to visit Perth as well as a Reward Flying version of an Australian airlines throwdown, pitting Qantas vs Virgin Australia.
Anyone who wouldn't be excited for this experience is either incapable of excitement or has flown it so many times it's commonplace. I'm neither.
Next was Etihad Airways A380 Apartment service to Melbourne. However being in Doha I needed to make the short haul across the Persian Gulf to Abu Dhabi. T
It doesn't get any better than this. At least I can't image a better all around flight for the price. You be the judge.
Would the final 4,272 miles of an 11 flight 32,382 mile around the world adventure be the best of them all? One thing is for sure, it was great to see ORD from above as home would now be only a few miles away.
My dual flights with Swiss, an 11 hour journey on their new 777-300 flagship versus a 2 hour regional A320 flight within Europe had an improbable outcome.
Out of the 6 different carriers on this journey, ANA,Thai, Singapore, Air New Zealand, Swiss and SAS, I was most excited to fly the new highly vaunted Swiss 777-300ER.
After having high expectations for my Singapore Airlines 777 business class flights then being disappointed, and fresh memories of the debacle on Thai's A380 in first class, I was less than enthused about this Thai 747 trip from Singapore to Bangkok
I remember having a choice. The early flight on a 777-300 with 1x2x1 business class seating, or the A330 with 2x2x2 seating later on. The choice was obvious, and wrong.
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!
A 100+MPH tailwind made this a quick trip across the Tasman Sea on a great airline.with a good business class product except for their...
With much anticipation to fly a long haul flight on Singapore Airlines in business class, would my expectations be exceeded?
The first of 3 flights on Singapore Airlines. This cabin featured the regional business class seat, which ended up being my favorite.
Delayed for 5 hours due to Typhoon Mindulle in Japan, this flight was not worthy of being called first class even if on time.
The first leg of a 32,000 mile 11 flight journey around the world on ANA in the "Square"
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.
