I have been busy these past few months and have not written a review in a while. With airlines finally returning to normal service due to the pandemic I hope to have several out within the next few months. So, I thought I'd start by reviewing American Airlines Embraer 145 because there is not too much to review ;) and it is the most recent flight I have taken (Feb '23) when I flew between Chicago ORD & Cedar Rapids, Iowa (CID). Two airlines fly the ERJ145 for American/America

Review of British Airways European Business Class Club Europe

This review is from a few years back but most of the information is the same, so I thought it was worth reposting it. The only difference is Iberia now flies an A320 from MAD to PRG. But really this review is good for all Short and Medium-haul flights on their A319, A320 or A321's, The other thing that has changed from when I reviewed this flight is Iberia now has Wi-Fi and power ports on most of these aircraft (read below). I had read some unfavorable reviews of Iberia's Int

Usually, I do not write reviews of hotels because it is too hard to compete with TripAdvisor and not enough people end up reading the review. I initially wrote this review back in 2017 and I only reviewed Tru by Hilton because it was a brand-new hotel concept by Hilton Hotels and maybe being one of the first to review the OKC Airport property would change that. Unfortunately, it didn't ;) At the time of this review (Oct 2017), there were only six Tru by Hilton's opened, and a

Alitalia is now ITA Airways but the planes and service for Business Class is the same.

I originally wrote this review in 2018 after taking two S7 flights in Business Class to and from Moscow's Domodedovo Airport. I took a 3rd flight on S7 in Business at the end of 2019 from DME to Rome FCO. Most of what I originally reviewed is the same. I will just update their Wi-fi and Inflight Entertainment (IFE) as well as some more recent photo's. At the end of last year (Nov. 2017) my wife and I flew from Munich to Moscow Domodedovo Airport on S7 Airlines in Business Cla

I have flown on several SWISS International Air Lines flights in Business Class the past few months (This review is from November 2018. Most of what I wrote then is still true other than the A220 makes up a good portion of their short-haul fleet now and they no longer operate the A319). I flew on the A321 from Zurich (ZRH) to Rome (FCO) and on the A320 from AMS to ZRH and a few flights between Moscow (DME) and Zurich. Along with their newly acquired C series by Bombardier (A2

I originally wrote this review of February of this year from a trip we took in November of 2020. Since that review my wife and I have taken three addition trips to Cancun and one to Puerto Vallarta. Every time returning in Clase Premier (Business Class) to Tijuana (no test required for land entry). In April (2021) we flew on two B737 MAX 8's and yesterday (May 2021) again a B737-800 and a B787-8 (this time Dreamliner from MEX to TIJ) and two additional trips on the B737-800 a

My wife and I recently (Feb/March 2020) had the good fortune to visit French Polynesia. Much to my delight (and part of the reason we went) I was able to get two reward seats in Business Class (Air Tahiti Nui calls it Poerava Business) through American Airlines (this was before the Coronavirus hit). While my wife loved that it was a relatively short flight from Southern California (7 hours 50 minutes) I would rather redeem 20,000 fewer miles (70k vs 80k) and get more bang for

I was very proud of myself for booking a one-way award ticket through United from Moscow to LAX on Austrian Airlines. I had an extra night to spend at the end of my trip and was trying to figure out where in Europe I could reasonably fly from Moscow and also find an award seat to So. California. I was having a hard time finding a suitable pair when I realized I could get an award ticket on both segments flying Austrian Airlines (IAD – LAX on United) and just take an afternoon
