Champlagnes – TG F, OZ J & F and NH F – Sofitel, Hyatt, Conrad, Hilton

After a couple of months of reading the Trip Reports forum on FlyerTalk.com, I slowly became aware that an itinerary involving multiple flights in international First Class, was no longer a lottery winning dream. This could actually be done. Not only that but with judicious routing and planning it could be done cheaply and awesomely, maximising all the little extras that make each airline unique.

REVIEW – ANA : First Class – Tokyo Narita to London (B77W)

To summarise, ANA First Class is the best experience I've ever had on a plane. The mixture of service, food and bedding is, in my mind, unbeatable. On the ground the handling experience isn't as good as TG, the lounge isn't as good as the VS clubhouse and the service in OZ F blows every other airline away. Despite all of this I wouldn't hesitate in picking NH F as the overall best experience.

REVIEW – Thai Airways : Business Class – Bangkok to Bali Denpasar (B772)

Thai Airways refurbished their 772s in the past couple of years and removed the middle seat from what used to be a 2-3-2 config. This is a huge improvement, paying for Business and ending up in a middle seat is just not on in this day and age (although Emirates don't seem to have gotten the memo).
