Review: American Airlines First Class 787-800 Chicago to Honolulu

Greetings from cloudy Hawaii! I’m in Hawaii for the week joining my girlfriend on a trip for work. We’ve been here for a few days now and the weather has not been cooperating. Since the weather is mostly cloudy with occasional rain showers, I thought it would be a great time to sit down and…
Review: Qantas Economy A330 Sydney To Auckland

After spending a few hours in the Sydney Airport it was finally time to board our Qantas flight from Sydney to Auckland to continue or trip down under. Although the flight awkwardly departed in the early evening my girlfriend and I specifically picked it because it was on one of Qantas’ Airbus A330 aircraft. Almost…
Review: American Airlines Business Class 77W Los Angeles To Hong Kong

To begin our trip to Sydney my girlfriend and I met in Los Angeles at LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). At the time we took our trip she was living in New York and I was living in Chicago so meeting in Los Angeles proved the simplest solution. Los Angeles also made sense for…
Review: American Airlines Economy Class 787 London To Chicago

To get back home from a recent trip to London I decided to book an extremely inexpensive economy class fare from London to Chicago on American Airlines. The flight I booked was on American’s 787 in economy class. Believe or not until then I had never flown a long-haul flight on the Dreamliner in economy…
Review: British Airways Business Class A380 Chicago To London

Earlier this year British Airways announced that the airline would be flying the massive Airbus A380 between Chicago and London. This aircraft shift is part of a summer seasonal service which has since ended. Thankfully, the A380 service is expected to return in April 2019. While British Airways was flying the A380 to Chicago I…
Review: Finnair Business Class A320 Munich To Helsinki

In the middle of my Mileage Run From HEL I found myself in the Munich Airport after two very nice Lufthansa First and Business class flights. I was in Munich because earlier in the year Finnair publishes some very attractive business class fares from Munich back to the United States. When booking long-haul premium cabin…
Review: Lufthansa First Class 747-8 Chicago To Frankfurt

Looking back, I can’t believe how this flight came to be. This whole trip started because I needed to get to Munich in June. To get to Munich I could have of course just booked a flight there, but what’s the fun in that? Instead, I decided to book a flight from Stockholm to New…
Review: Emirates 777 Economy Class Rio De Janeiro To Buenos Aires

Earlier this year my parents took our entire family on an unforgettable trip to South America. The trip began in Atlanta where we all met before flying overnight to Rio De Janeiro. As a thank you present to my parents for the trip I decided to buy a bottle of Dom Perignon with Delta SkyMiles…
Review: British Airways 747-400 World Traveler (Economy) London To Chicago

British Airways is one of the few remaining international carriers which operates the magnificent Boeing 747. In fact, not to long ago British Airways announced plans to overall their fleet of 747s rather than introducing plans to replace the aging aircraft. However, in time, British Airways 747s will end up in the boneyard. Until then,…
Flight Review: Cape Air Cessna 402 Economy St. Louis To Chicago Via Decatur

One of the most frustrating things above frequently traveling between Chicago and St. Louis is the cost. Flights between the two cities often are in excess of $300 round trip for reasonable times. On holiday weekends it’s not uncommon to see prices exceed $400 round trip. I personally find that price absurd given it’s only…
