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!
I love Japan Airlines. While they probably aren’t the absolute best at everything, they consistently excel in all aspects from the time you reach the airport until the time you exit the aircraft.
I’ll start by saying, it will be difficult for any trip to be better than this experience on ANA’s new first class called “The Suite”.
After a quick breakfast at the Hilton Narita it was off to the airport for one of the best first class experiences you can have, Japan Airlines.
After a power nap at the Dubai International Airport Hotel, which doesn’t require passing immigration, I was back in the First Class Lounge preparing for the 8AM departure to Haneda in the virtual window suite.
a few months later the schedule was changed. The search was on. And the crazy idea to return to the US from Europe going east was born! It’s now my favorite route to fly.
This Swiss 777 which was a mere 3 years old would be traveling to Chicago this afternoon.
But the purpose of the visit was to fly from Singapore to Bombay to catch Swiss in first. Not a bad way to start flying Singapore in First Class!
In no time she returned and had the pilots navigational map of the North Pole to show me!
it was time for another Emirates first class flight where the hope was for a better experience that lived up to their reputation. I will say this flight was far more enjoyable.
As any confessed avgeek would do the morning of a highly anticipated flight, they would check for the assigned aircraft to their flight. Todays’ aircraft would be JA789A, Star Wars BB-8!
While first class redemptions are always a treat, when they include special services like private check-in, the experience becomes extra special. Today’s flight would include Singapore Airlines renowned first class reception.
The whole purpose of being in Paris on this day to catch a Qatar airways flight was to experience Q-suites. Such are the perils of making reservations a year in advance.
While Singapore Airlines has numerous direct flights to Bali, I thought it would be fun to try KLM's fifth freedom flight. It was a good decision.
Reward Flying has reviewed the JAL Sky Suite twice as well as the Shell Flat Neo, so reviewing the Sky Suite III was anticipated.
It's all Delta's fault. So thanks Delta for a reason to fly Japan Airlines first class again.
So I saved at least 10,000 points and got to Chicago in first class with the quickest connection.
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 more can be said? The worst part of this flight was arriving.
Originally intended as an all 747 trip on EVA Air and United back to the US, best laid plans should be broken at times
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.
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.
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 leg of a 32,000 mile 11 flight journey around the world on ANA in the "Square"
My second flight on Austrian reaffirmed the fondness I've acquired for this airline. Are they perfect?
This was a great flight on a world class airline. It hits all marks for what you want with international travel. From a beautiful comfortable cabin, to delicious food, great entertainment and courteous friendly flight attendants, ANA scores high on all.
One would be hard pressed to find a better way to spend 15 hours in the air other than sitting in Cathay Pacific's First Class Suite. Is this in your plan?
