Starlux A350-900 Business Class NRT-TPE

Airline/Starlux, Aircraft/A350, Y2023

About the time Korean Air award space became available the news of Starlux flying to a couple Asian destinations in preparation for their A350 service to Los Angeles was announced. Tokyo was one of them. Could I make it work?

Japan Airlines B777-300 First Class LAX-HND

Airline/JAL, Aircraft/B777, Y2023

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.

Etihad B787-9 First Class IAD-AUH

Airline/Etihad, Aircraft/B787, Y2022

Ever since my first Etihad experience in the “Apartment” I’ve wanted to fly sitting backwards in first class on their 787.

JetBlue A321-neo Regional Business Class LAX-JFK

Y2022, Aircraft/A320, Airline/Jetblue

Jetblue, American, United and Delta transcons were all attempted during Covid. This one ended up being a go, transcon on B6 from LAX-NYC flying their new A321-neo with Mint Studio seating. It was a great way to get back in the reward flying air.

When SAS announced their initial A350 route and it was Chicago, I immediately searched for reward flights

Lufthansa A340-600 First Class ORD-MUC

Airline/Lufthansa, Aircraft/A340, Y2020

I had originally booked United to go east hoping for Lufthansa to release space on the 747. Instead to my bucket list delight a seat on the A340 in first was released just in time.

ANA B777-300 First Class "The Suite" LHR-HND

Airline/ANA, Aircraft/B777, Y2020

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”.

Japan Airlines B777-300 First Class NRT-ORD

Airline/JAL, Aircraft/B777, Y2019

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.

Airline/Virgin Atlantic, Aircraft/A350, Y2020

The 3rd leg of 4 to rate who has the best trans Atlantic A350 service. This on Virgin Atlantic’s new A350-1K with a new (for them) business class seat.

ORD United Polaris / MUC Lufthansa First Class

A dual review of two excellent lounges in ORD and MUC, United Polaris and Lufthansa First Class.

LHR Singapore First Class Lounge

ANA uses the Singapore Lounge in London which has both First and Business class lounges. My takeaway was the London first class lounge is better than the Singapore Private Room.
