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 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”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 4: LHR-MAA
After an overnight layover in London, it was time to continue the journey to India! Because of the way the upgrade voucher works, the previous leg from Belfast was free, and this flight was simply a continuation of that ticket. I spent the night at the off-site Sheraton that is a short bus/uber ride away. Continue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 4: LHR-MAA”
2025’s big trip: India! Part 1: SFO-LHR on an A380
As readers will probably notice, it’s now travel season for me again! My next set of trips is to India for a wedding. All the flights on this trip were on British Airways, so I’m planning to mix up these flights up with some other posts, so everything is going to be a bit outContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 1: SFO-LHR on an A380”
Guest post from the other Michael: Malaysia Airlines Business Class from Kuala Lumpur to London!
We have our next guest post from the other Michael! This time he’s flying Malaysia Airlines back to London from Australia. Michael had originally booked an economy ticket via Kuala Lumpur to return to the UK from Melbourne, Australia. There are any number of flight routings he could’ve selected, but they break down into 3Continue reading “Guest post from the other Michael: Malaysia Airlines Business Class from Kuala Lumpur to London!”
