Time to fly.
Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel and hopefully give you ideas on how you can get the best value from your points and miles. Hope you enjoy the flight!
Before the Emirates flight I took an EK codeshare on Jetstar to Auckland. It was interested to see the differences between the two carriers that fly between Auckland and Wellington.
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...
Having flown Thai's 747 last year on a business class ticket sitting in a first class seat, I was anxious to try the real first class experience.
One of the attendants whose name was Angie walked up the jetway to meet me halfway. She introduced herself and escorted me onto the plane.
It's fair to say anticipation was at an extreme for this flight. A year in the making the day finally came.
The first leg of a round the world, 29,950 mile trip (which was scaled back believe it or not) began with a short hop to New York on JetBlue...
UA838 wheels touched SFO's 28R 45 minutes early. AT&T received my login signal immediately. I opened the UA app and....
For avgeek anticipation what could be better than boarding a 3 week old 777-300 flying its 13th international flight with the brand new Polaris Business class seats?

The only problem taking Lufthansa to Frankfurt then Asiana to Seoul is my destination was Japan.
What to do?I came within a mouse click of changing the flight. Am I glad I didn't.
A couple years ago I flew 4 international segments on their new 747-8i which only enhanced my affection for the airline. Maybe I was due for a let down.
Yes I had wanted to try Lufthansa in business, especially on the 747-8i in the upper deck. At least I can scratch it off the bucket list.
Two agents sat talking to each other at the counter seemingly with no interest of what was not taking place, boarding.
I was handed a box. I thought it might be something like a box of chocolates where I'd pick one. I had no idea it was dinner!
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.
What more can be said? The worst part of this flight was arriving.
This flight was a positioning flight for a quick Reward Flying round the world trip
