Awesome. I just had a biz seat. Still lovely experience. But either you got better food than me or they've really cut down in luxury over the years.

I really found your writing fun to read. You have a very journalistic sense of describing things, with humor and accuracy (...notably when describing your stay in Paris, and the Orly airport "ordeal"). By the way, they have tighter security screening at this airport since lot of planes fly to some "hotspots" (Algeria, etc...). I do agree with you about the shortness of the Biz (or Old BA Club World) seats. I had a rather troublesome experience on a BA flight to Heathrow...and never managed to find a suitable sleeping position, and finally ended up sticking my feet out of the seat ! (not very fancy, I know..). I'm sorry if you find my question kind of awkward (in this case don't anwser), but how do you get to travel soo much? ...just curious..you seem to have lot of fun.

I was trying to decide if I should book a ticket through United (which would put me on Lufthansa in C/F over the ocean) or OpenSkies. Your review made the decision quite easy; I chose OpenSkies. As I was reading your review, I really appreciated both your sense of humor and your attention to desserts. In particular, I am looking forward to trying out the cookies in the blue wrappers at the lounge in Orly. Thank you again!

The PREM+ service is basically identical to coach, but it's a really comfortable ride with the huge seats. If you'd be willing to pay double for a business class type seat (not totally new generation), then definitely go for it. If not, I would save the money. If it were me, I would probably do coach, but that's just because it's such a short flight and I'd rather save the money. If you do value comfort though, I think it's a great deal. As for whether to go for BIZ, it's tough to say. I think PREM+ is comfortable enough of a ride that I wouldn't find the upgrade worth it, but it all depends on your financial situation. Row seven was great, if I recall correctly, and of course you have the advantage of no one reclining into you. Enjoy the trip! Nico,

we’re flying JFK-ORL end of sept, with PREM+.

honestly, the economy at 30 pp (vs. 24 in PREM+) and same meals as PREM+ (served at once, plastic baggies) – is PREM+ worth double the price?

the more i read about BIZ, should we have forked out the 2nd double?

also – we have PREM+ first row – 7 – appears to be bulkhead. recommend on PREM+? enough legroom? storage?

thanks a bunch
