REVIEW – Cathay Pacific : First Class – Hong Kong to London (B77W)

CX puts out an excellent F product. The ground handling is non-existent but The Pier is a beautiful facility. The fact that CX fits 6 seats into a space where other airlines place 8 is absolutely laudable and the result is a very spacious and comfortable product which short of having a closing door, is about as private as any you'll see in the sky.

REVIEW – Finnair : Business Class – London to Helsinki (A350)

I did find the finishes quite plasticky, the seat padding thin and the legroom confined when compared to AY's competitors though. Still, the seat is one of the better offerings from a European airline...

REVIEW – Finnair : Business Class – Helsinki to London (A350)

I'm still not convinced that I'd want to fly this for an ultra long haul, as the seats are a little more cramped than on the CX, AA, AF etc equivalents. For a flight to the East Coast of the US this would be more than adequate.

REVIEW – British Airways : Club Europe (Business Class) – Oslo to London Heathrow (A320)

There is a definite sense here when flying in intra-European business class, I'm being asked to tell the Emperor how lovely his clothes are. If we all play along we can pretend this is ok. Honestly though it isn't. If you are flying long haul and end up in a short haul Business Class cabin, that's fine. However, if you are looking to splash out in order to try Business Class one time, short haul will leave you deeply underwhelmed.
