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”

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”

Wednesday Reblog: British Airways Club Europe Helsinki to London

For this week’s Wednesday reblog, I decided to continue the “routes British Airways no longer flies” theme, with this Club Europe flight from Helsinki to London. Currently, this route is still heavily served by Finnair, including with widebody aircraft even. Pre-pandemic, this route was still very heavily served by Finnair but also served once perContinue reading “Wednesday Reblog: British Airways Club Europe Helsinki to London”

Wednesday Reblog: British Airways First Class 2022

Last week’s reblog was about British Airways’ Club Suite back in 2020, so I thought that this week it’d be fun to reblog my 2022 First Class flight from London to San Jose! British Airways unfortunately no longer serves this route, which I guess is fair because serving SFO with a 777 and an A380Continue reading “Wednesday Reblog: British Airways First Class 2022”

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)”

British Airways Economy Class Eastbound Transatlantic Daytime Flight (January 2026 EuroTrip)

Bottom-line up front British Airways’ day-time flights eastbound across the Atlantic offer a convenient way to travel to London without “losing a night” to travel in exchange for losing the day instead. If you struggle to sleep on a plane, this type of flight is worth considering. The exit row seats on this aircraft typeContinue reading “British Airways Economy Class Eastbound Transatlantic Daytime Flight (January 2026 EuroTrip)”

2025’s big trip: India! Part 5B: LHR-SFO in BA First Class on the A380

Now it’s time for the main event. British Airways First Class from London to San Francisco! I got to the plane relatively late in the boarding process because of the amount of time that it took to get from the Concorde Room to the C gates (and wanted to take some additional pictures before headingContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!

2025’s big trip: India! Part 5A: LHR Concorde Room

It’s finally time to finish up the trip to India! I’ve been in the process of moving locally for the last month and so have been bogged down by that, so these have been coming out a bit more slowly than I would’ve liked, but here we are: British Airways First Class from London toContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!
