Yuck! An awful omelette for breakfast on British Airways to Skiathos
After a very grey summer in 2023, I booked a week away on Skiathos in Greece for the following year. British Airways service the route from London City Airport, so I used Avios to book the flight. Everything looked promising, until the awful omelette appeared as part of the breakfast...

Review: Iberia short-haul Business Class A320neo (LHR-MAD)
Most of my intra-Europe flying is done in Economy Class cabins because I (mostly) don't see the value in paying for short-haul European Business Class cabins, but this flight was part of a larger transatlantic Business Class itinerary and so I found myself sitting 'up front' on an Iberia A320neo...

I didn’t select a seat on Ryanair and you’ll never guess where I ended up!
Irish airline Ryanair is Europe’s largest carrier by far. I almost never fly with them, but recently they had both the best price and the flight time I needed, so I bit the bullet and purchased a ticket. Regular readers will know that I don’t select a seat on Ryanair...

Review: American Airlines 777-200ER Business Class (transatlantic)
American Airlines offers two different Business Class cabins on its Boeing 777-200ER aircraft. If you're fortunate, you'll find yourself in the newer cabin fitted with the Collins Aerospace Super Diamond seats. If you're less fortunate, you'll find yourself in the older Safran Concept D seats.

What’s it like flying from London to Sofia in Club Europe on British Airways?
I was obliged to head off to Bulgaria for work and British Airways were my choice for the flight to Sofia. After arriving into T5, I needed to transfer to T3, which means the glorious (not!) bus transfer from terminal to terminal that Heathrow is famous for. Avios award seats...

Review: American Eagle CRJ-700ER First Class (PSP-PHX)
The last time I flew in a regional jet was, I think, on a flight between Las Vegas and Palm Springs, and it was so long ago that the iPhone hadn't been invented, social media hadn't ruined the world, and you could still switch on the TV without being assaulted...

Review: Dublin to London in British Airways Club Europe
British Airways have moved to Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport which means they are co-located with Aer Lingus. This is a nice change, as T2 is far newer than T1 and a more pleasant experience. I was wondering how and where they would fit in several flights per day, but...

Review: JAL 787-9 Business Class
After my glorious flight to Tokyo Haneda in JAL First Class, I connected to Seoul Gimpo on a JAL 787-9 in business class. Despite dire warnings of an unbearably hard seat, the flight was just fine and I found the seat more than tolerable for my two-hour journey. JAL 787-9...

Review: JAL A350-1000 First Class
My long-awaited flight on the Japan Airlines (JAL) A350-1000 in first class did not disappoint. In fact, it was one of the best flights of my life. This review will recount that (nearly) flawless journey from New York to Tokyo from my “compartment” in suite 2A. JAL A350-1000 First Class...

Review: JetBlue A220-300 Economy Class
To kick off my journey to Japan and South Korea, I flew from Burbank to New York on JetBlue onboard the Airbus A220-200 in “Core” economy class. JetBlue’s extra legroom and free high-speed internet made for a comfortable flight, though the A220-300 is not aging well and the flight attendants...
