Background + Booking: Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I needed a flight to come home to Los Angeles from New York for the Thanksgiving holiday, and had originally booked a different flight. But, two days before departure, I got an alert on ExpertFlyer that a MileSAAver First Class award ticket was available...

Background: So, my parents recently flew Delta One from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York (JFK) roundtrip, and they had quite a bad experience on the outbound leg. Thankfully, their inbound leg was much better. I thought it would be helpful to share their experiences with you all, and the...

A big part of my visit to Algeria was flying the Algerian flag carrier, Air Algérie. While my expectations were frankly low, especially after my ground experience at the airport, I was very pleasantly surprised with the onboard product and will go out of my way to fly Air Algérie...

The vagaries of travel (read: a cancelled flight) meant that instead of flying Chicago to Dublin on Aer Lingus, I wound up on this American Airlines flight instead. It was a win for me as I ended up in Main Cabin Extra, perhaps giving a more comfortable experience than I...

I was never supposed to fly from Cleveland to Charlotte, but a flight cancellation the night before saw me rebooked on this service. Presumably because I was nice and sympathetic to the gate agent changing the flights, I was put into first class for this flight. Since I was connecting...

I had a lovely journey on Kenya Airways from Nairobi to New York in “Premier World” business class on the 787-8 and enjoyed gracious hospitality onboard that instantly made Kenya Airways my favorite African carrier. Kenya Airways 787-8 Business Class Review I booked this ticket using Air France Flying Blue...

It’s quite a short flight from Chicago to Cleveland and I was seated in Main Cabin Extra due to my frequent flyer status. People seated here get extra legroom and complimentary alcoholic drinks, which is quite nice. After spending some time in the Flagship Lounge, I headed to the gate....

From Johannesburg to Nairobi I flew on Kenya Airways in business class aboard a Boeing 737-800. This marked my first-ever flight on Kenya Airways. Although the trip home did not get off to a smooth start due to an extended delay, the in-flight product was perfectly comfortable for a regional...

Aer Lingus service numerous destinations in the United States from both Dublin and Shannon. I last tried their transatlantic economy class product 12 years ago and despite being based in Ireland, I rarely use the airline as I don’t earn status in the British Airways Executive Club when flying them....

From Pietermaritzburg to Johannesburg we flew on Airlink, the only game in town. Even with a monopoly on the route and a small ERJ-135 regional jet, the carrier really impressed me. Airlink ERJ-135 Economy Class Review With South African Airways still struggling, Airlink (unofficially of course) has emerged as a...

When I left my villa in Puerto Rico, I said, as I always do, who knows what's in store for me on this trip? I did not realize that drama would come so quickly. The post World’s Longest & Best Flight: JFK-SIN in Business appeared first on The Points Of Life.

FlySafair is a South African budget carrier based in Johannesburg. I had the opportunity to take a pre-dawn flight on FlySafair from Cape Town to Durban. FlySafair 737-800 Review (CPT-DUR) I joined the trip rather late in the game and booked my ticket two nights before for $125 from CPT...

To reach Cape Town from the USA, it just makes sense to fly a U.S. carrier versus an all-day connection in London, Paris, Amsterdam, or Frankfurt. I flew United Airlines on the Boeing 787-9 in Polaris business class from Newark to Cape Town. This review recounts my journey and what...
