REVIEW – Swan Hellenic Antarctica Cruise
March 28, 2024 0
Belmond's Hiram Bingham is a beautifully restored and maintained train, which truly immersed us in the golden age of rail travel. There is no question that the overall experience is very luxurious and that it is the ideal way to circumvent some of the more onerous government regulation, that makes visiting the citadel of Machu Picchu so complicated.
Four Seasons Yacht now bookable!

REVIEW – American Airlines : First Class – New York to Los Angeles (A321T)

The FA totally made this flight for me. He really made it his mission to ensure that we had the best experience possible. For a flight of this length the seat is exceptional, as is the entertainment system.

REVIEW – British Airways : First Class – London to New York JFK

We were warmly greeted as we stepped aboard and directed to our seats. K was taken through a full tour of the features whilst I went about exploring by myself. On the face of it the BA First Class seat has the same basic design as the Sicma Aero Cirrus […]

REVIEW – EVA Air: Royal Laurel Business Class – Bangkok to London (B77W)

Unfortunately for EVA Air our final flight made it 4 for 4 in terms of delays. Although generally speaking I find that most flights nowadays both short and long-haul are at least somewhat delayed. This is a trend which has really been increasing of late. Come to think of it, […]

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 – Qatar Airways : Business Class – A350 – Tokyo (HND) to Doha (DOH)

The Qatar A350 fleet is a bit of a lottery. Despite being the newest aircraft type in Qatar's fleet not all of the A350s have the newest seats. In fact you have a chance of ending up in one of the three possible configurations...
