American Airlines has officially begun removing Flagship First seats from its fleet, introducing its new Business Plus experience on wide-body aircraft, and has started flying its A321XLR aircraft on its premium transcontinental routes. It looks like the end really is coming for Flagship First after several years of “being phased out”. That being said, whileContinue reading “Flagship First Transcontinental 2026: How is it holding up? (BOS-LAX)”

Wednesday Reblog: Lufthansa Premium Economy
For this week’s Wednesday Reblog, I decided to switch gears a bit and reblog a premium economy flight I had back in 2020. It’s been a while since I’ve featured a premium economy flight on the blog, so it seemed like I should try to change that! This flight in particular was interesting because bookingContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: Lufthansa Premium Economy”
Wednesday Reblog: My First Flagship First Flight back in 2021
For this week’s Wednesday reblog, I’ve chosen to highlight my flight from LAX to JFK from back in 2021. This was my first time flying Flagship First, and it was a great experience, especially given how empty everything was. I had booked this flight as a part of a trip back to the UK afterContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: My First Flagship First Flight back in 2021”
Wednesday Reblog: Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston
For this week’s wednesday reblog, I thought I’d change gears a bit and highlight one of my favorite lounges in the United States: The Boston Chase Sapphire Lounge. When this lounge first opened a few years ago, it immediately leapfrogged Chase’s lounge offering ahead of Amex. And with the announcement earlier this week that theseContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston”
Delta’s ex-Lion Air 737 First Class Product
I recently took a long weekend trip to Maryland, and as part of that journey, I had the opportunity to fly on one of Delta’s ex-Lion Air 737s. I had a Delta voucher that I needed to burn, so I booked a coach ticket via Atlanta. The first part of the journey included breakfast at the Delta SkyClub, followed by a flightContinue reading “Delta’s ex-Lion Air 737 First Class Product”
Wednesday Reblog: British Airways 787
For this week’s Wednesday Reblog, I’ve decided to highlight another pandemic-era flight that I thoroughly enjoyed: British Airways’ 787-9 First Class. This was my first flight in international First Class, and it was great! There were only three people in First Class, so it was quite private. I ended up staying in the US forContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: British Airways 787”
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: Miami to JFK on a 777 in 2022
Continuing with last week’s theme of a wide-body aircraft on a short-haul route, I have this flight from 2022, where I flew from Miami to New York on a 777. This flight was at the tail-end of COVID restrictions, so international travel had not fully rebounded yet, but travel between the Northeast and Florida definitelyContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: Miami to JFK on a 777 in 2022”
Fairfield Inn & Suites Indio Coachella Valley (2026 Hotel Review)
This week, I have a hotel to report on! Back in March, I went to the Indian Wells tennis tournament, near Palm Springs, CA (PSP). I’ve flown to/from Palm Springs several times from San Francisco and from Phoenix, but the flights out of PSP don’t have lounges, and I never seem to get upgraded onContinue reading “Fairfield Inn & Suites Indio Coachella Valley (2026 Hotel Review)”
