Wednesday Reblog: My first A380 flight

For this week’s Wednesday Reblog, I wanted to highlight another first: my first A380 flight, which was back in 2022. I had booked this flight in World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy) to go to a tennis tournament with my parents in Miami, and then I was able to upgrade it to Club World (Business Class)Continue reading “Wednesday Reblog: My first A380 flight”

Qatar Airways Business Class (Q-Suite) Doha – Melbourne (Guest Post)

This week have our next guest post from Australian Michael!  This post is a continuation of his journey from Milan to Doha to Melbourne.  In this post, we’re going to cover his lounge experience in Doha followed by his Q-Suites flight from Doha to Melbourne.  Bottom-line up front Qatar Airways Business Class is considered oneContinue reading “Qatar Airways Business Class (Q-Suite) Doha – Melbourne (Guest Post)”

Wednesday Reblog: British Airways 777

For this week’s Wednesday Reblog, I thought I’d follow the 777 theme from last week and reblog my first flight in British Airways’ Club Suites product. British Airways and American Airlines have a very similar hard product on their 777s, but British Airways edges American out because their Club Suites have doors. The food onContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: British Airways 777”

Qatar Airways Business Class (non-Q-Suite) Milan – Doha (Guest Post)

For this week’s post, I have a guest post from the other Michael!  Specifically, he took a Qatar Airways flight from Milan to Melbourne via Doha and has graciously given me pictures and a review of his two flights and the Qatar business class lounge in Doha.  Michael was in Italy to go climbing, andContinue reading “Qatar Airways Business Class (non-Q-Suite) Milan – Doha (Guest Post)”

Wednesday Reblog: British Airways 777 Club Suite during COVID

For this week’s Wednesday reblog, I thought it would be fun to pull up another pandemic era flight. In this case, it’s my first Club Suite flight from London to New York back in 2020. This flight was noteworthy because I flew it during the period when air travel between the US and Europe hadContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: British Airways 777 Club Suite during COVID”

British Airways Club World West Coast-Bound Transatlantic Daytime Flight (January 2026 EuroTrip)

Bottom-line up front British Airways’ west coast-bound flights across the Atlantic offer a convenient way to travel from London directly to major west coast cities (Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego).  The A380’s Club World seats are showing their age, but they should hopefully be retrofit in the coming years, but theContinue reading “British Airways Club World West Coast-Bound Transatlantic Daytime Flight (January 2026 EuroTrip)”

Wednesday Reblog: United Polaris London to DC

For this Wednesday Reblog, since y’all seem to be enjoying the blasts from the past, I figured we’d go back over 4 years to a United Polaris flight I took from London to DC. While not quite as exciting (exotic?) as the swiveling chair from last week’s Flagship First reblog, you really can’t beat havingContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: United Polaris London to DC”

2025 home stretch: JFK-SFO with a free upgrade to DeltaOne!

We’ve almost reached the end of the 2025 flights.  We’ve only got 3 more to do, and, interestingly, they’re all Delta flights.  I’m not sure exactly how that happened, but they were three separate trips where Delta flights made the most sense (especially in the context of me still having Delta Platinum status).  In November,Continue reading “2025 home stretch: JFK-SFO with a free upgrade to DeltaOne!”

2025’s big trip: India! Part 5: MAA-LHR

After a week in India, it was time to return to Europe.  I don’t generally leave reviews of hotels or destinations, and this time is no different.  The summary of my trip is that I really enjoyed visiting the granite temples of Mahabalipuram and really did not like the Somerset Greenways Chennai.  The Leela PalaceContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 5: MAA-LHR”

Guest post from the other Michael: Emirates Business Class from Melbourne to Dubai

The other Michael recently completed a trip to Europe from Australia (he has now moved to Australia), which reminded him that a few years ago, he flew Emirates back from Australia to Europe and got a free operational upgrade from Melbourne to Dubai.  He ended up with a (very) expensive economy ticket back from AustraliaContinue reading “Guest post from the other Michael: Emirates Business Class from Melbourne to Dubai”
