REVIEW – Etihad Airways : Business Class (Regional) – Malé to Abu Dhabi (A320)

Etihad's short haul product is great for a flight of this length. I was able to relax comfortably, enjoy some good drinks and chat with the relaxed and friendly crew. The food could use a little work, as could the IFE but otherwise this was a fantastic flight.

REVIEW – Etihad Airways : Business Class – Abu Dhabi to London (A380)

Much like the First Class Apartments have revolutionised the First Class travel landscape, Etihad's A380 has significantly raised the bar for business class travel. The seat finishes are up there with the fine leather of Singapore's A380 Business Class, the IFE controls and screen are just as sharp as those found on Qatar's Dreamliner...

REVIEW – Qantas Lounge: Business and First Class, LHR T3

Perhaps I went into this with my hopes set too high but I really don't feel that this lounge is anywhere near the level of Cathay's Business lounge next door, let alone the First Class section. The Qantas decor isn't as luxurious, the food is not as good, there is a lack of natural light, runway views and power sockets and if you don't like gin, the drinks selection is far more limited.

REVIEW – British Airways : Updated Club World Service – London to New York JFK (B747 Upper Deck)

The new bedding is a vast improvement as is the new tableware. The food is not much better than the old Do&Co catering on this route but then again LHR-JFK is BA's flagship service and has always received an extra level of care and attention. If BA can roll both the Do&Co and White Company partnerships successfully, fleetwide, they will go some way to undoing all of the harm that has been done to their reputation after the last three years of cost-cutting. Add in a new seat due in 2019 and then the only issue that remains is the poor quality of the lounges. BA don't exactly have an easy road ahead of them but for now at least, it appears that things are moving in the right direction.
