Reward Flying A330 Trip Reports

Featured

Air France A330-200 Business Class CDG-ORD

This trip went through a million changes as is typical with me. It had settled as an Air France R/T to Europe. Then Lufthansa got in the way.

Swiss A330-300 First Class BOM-ZRH

But it had ticketed when I clicked book, and even after a change with the assistance of an agent. Now the risk was flying to Bangkok to get a boarding pass.

Cathay Pacific A330-300 Business Class HKG-BKK

Then it was back to the airport to try and convince the First Class Pier Lounge gatekeeper to grant me access.

Qantas A330-200 Business Class MEL-SYD

Now that I had my fun flying Qantas’ 787-9 to somewhere I didn’t need to go, I had to get to Sydney where the trip home would commenee the following day.

Garuda Indonesia A330-300 Business Class DPS-ICN

Traveling on a carrier who doesn't fly to the USA is always an anticipated experience for me, especially on one with a great reputation for premium service.

China Airlines A330-300 Business Class TPE-NRT

While the seats were subpar (at least compared to the B777 and A350 planes), China Airlines made amends with a fantastic dinner.

Qantas A330 versus Virgin Australia A330 - Business Class

Reward Flying flew Qantas from Melbourne to Perth and Virgin Australia on the return. How did they compare? The results are startling.

Virgin Australia A330 Business Class PER-MEL

After a gloomy day weather and flight wise on the east side of Australia, a new day west brought sunshine and lots of positive surprises.

Qantas A330 Business Class MEL-SYD-PER

The trip to Melbourne offered the opportunity to visit Perth as well as a Reward Flying version of an Australian airlines throwdown, pitting Qantas vs Virgin Australia.

SAS A330-300 Business Class ARN-ORD

Would the final 4,272 miles of an 11 flight 32,382 mile around the world adventure be the best of them all? One thing is for sure, it was great to see ORD from above as home would now be only a few miles away.

Singapore Airlines A330-300 Business Class BKK-SIN

The first of 3 flights on Singapore Airlines. This cabin featured the regional business class seat, which ended up being my favorite.

Air China A330-300 Business Class PEK-ICN

I wanted to try Air China. My curiosity is over.

Turkish Airlines A330-300 Business Class KUL-IST

After the main meal a dessert and cheese cart is wheeled out, which can be most dangerous as it was stacked with goodies! Finally the Turkish Coffee cart is brought out with a large selection of coffee and tea as well as a SECOND dessert.

Lufthansa A340-600 First Class ORD-MUC

Feb 28, 2022

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.

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?

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.

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”.

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.
