REVIEW – Qatar Airways : First Class – A380 – Doha (DOH) to London (LHR)

Overall this flight firmly cemented to me the fact that Qatar First Class is a complete waste of time. Qatar's CEO famously declared that with Q Suites he was offering “First Class at a Business Class fare”. I'd say that in many ways it is actually better than First Class... at least where his airline is concerned.

REVIEW – Cathay Pacific : First Class – B777 – Milan (MXP) to Hong Kong (HKG)

I was really hoping that neither cost cutting at the airline nor the fact that I was not flying from a major global hub, would have a negative impact on this flight. You shouldn't have to worry about whether or not you'll have a good experience in a First Class cabin but on Etihad or BA for example, this is always at the back of your mind.

REVIEW – Singapore Airlines : (NEW) First Class Suites – A380 – Shanghai (PVG) to Singapore (SIN)

I went into this flight with sky high expectations. Whenever I'm asked to pick a single favourite airline there's no hesitation. No possible alternative. It's Singapore. I've been fortunate enough to fly the old Singapore Suites on eight occasions in the past and honestly the experience never gets old - it is still one of the very best products in the sky. This new cabin though, is on a completely different level....

REVIEW – JAL : Business Class – B789 (Sky Suite III) – Jakarta (CGK) to Tokyo (NRT)

Last time we flew the phenomenal Apex Suites on JAL's 777, at the time the seat was the best I'd ever seen in Business Class (now surpassed by Qatar Q Suites and ANA's The Room) but the catering was awful. More specifically there was almost no dinner and no snacking menu on a 7h30m flight! This time I deliberately filled up in the lounge before boarding the 900 Series Dreamliner to Tokyo...
