Trip Report: British Airways 747 Economy Class | London Heathrow to Dallas

Trip Report: British Airways 747 Economy Class | London Heathrow to Dallas

Returning from a weekend in Paris, I decided to select a connection flight back to Dallas to join two friends who headed from London to Dallas. This put me in British Airways 747 Economy Class for the ride home. Even though I enjoy the newer 777-300ER that American Airlines’ flies on this route, I won’t pass up a ride on the Queen of the Skies. After spending a bit of time with my friend at the Galleries First Lounge in Terminal…

Trip Report: Delta A330 Economy Class | Barcelona to New York JFK

Trip Report: Delta A330 Economy Class | Barcelona to New York JFK

After a nice extended weekend in Barcelona, it was time to head back home. We’d flown Air France on the outbound journey and had a less than great experience. I wasn’t quite ready to go home after such a short visit to Barcelona but alas it was back to work. As part of our super cheap SkyTeam fare we scored for this trip, our return flight was aboard Delta’s A330 Economy Class via JFK. We took the metro to Barcelona–El…

Trip Report: Reviewing Blu Express | Santorini to Rome

Trip Report: Reviewing Blu Express | Santorini to Rome

Seeking a nonstop and inexpensive flight between Santorini and Rome, we ultimately booked well in advance 2 seats on Blu Express, a sister airline of Blu Panorama. This flight was reasonably priced at €90 per person one-way plus €40 for two checked bags. All in we were toughly at €230 for the two of us. Our other options were more expensive or involved a connection. Vueling was the only other nostop flight on our date of departure but it required…

Trip Report: Air New Zealand 777-300 Economy Class | Los Angeles to London

Trip Report: Air New Zealand 777-300 Economy Class | Los Angeles to London

Taking the unconventional routing from Dallas to London via LAX, I was excited for my first flight aboard Air New Zealand, even if it’s in Economy! I had snagged a pretty cheap flight for under $400 USD one-way from LAX to London Heathrow. This route is “fifth-freedom” route for Air New Zealand, and a popular one! I had arrived on a separate American Airlines flight from Dallas so I used my Priority Pass membership to access the KAL Lounge in…

Trip Report: British Airways CityFlyer Economy Class | London City to Frankfurt

Trip Report: British Airways CityFlyer Economy Class | London City to Frankfurt

As part of my return journey from London to Dallas, I flew British Airways’ CityFlyer service from London City Airport to Frankfurt. I had booked a Business Class journey from Frankfurt to Dallas via Washington IAD. I couldn’t get the segment from London to Frankfurt to tag onto my Lufthansa booking so I used the British Airways flight to position from London to Frankfurt. I redeemed 4,500 BA Avios points for the short journey which was a fantastic deal. The…

Trip Report: Czech Airlines Economy Class | Budapest to Prague

Trip Report: Czech Airlines Economy Class | Budapest to Prague

I’ve never flow Spirit Airlines in the US but it’s everyone’s favorite airline brand to hate. After flying Czech Airlines Economy Class, I think I can imagine that this is how people often feel when they fly Spirit. And it’s not a compliment. Traffic was extra light so we arrived at the Budapest Airport a little over 2 hours before departures. I wanted to have some time explore a lounge plus we had bags to check. But we quickly earned that…

Trip Report: American Airlines Madrid to DFW in Economy Class

This report reviews the OLD American Airlines Economy product about their 777-200s. At post date, American Airlines is partway through refurbishing their 777-200 fleet. After such a short time in Madrid, it was time to head home. With lounge time in mind, I headed to MAD a bit early. I hopped off the Metro at the Terminal 4 station and headed for the check-in desks in Terminal 4. American Airline’s check-in desks are near the very end of the check-in…

Trip Report: DFW to Hong Kong | American Airlines 777-300ER Main Cabin Extra

Hong Kong has become one of my favorite cities and I just returned from a quick trip. With American Airlines’ nonstop service between DFW and Hong Kong, it makes short trips doable over a long weekend. (At least for me!)

Lounge Review: Finnair Premium Lounge at Helsinki Airport (Non-Schengen)

Lounge Review: Finnair Premium Lounge at Helsinki Airport (Non-Schengen)

After 36 hours in Finland, it was time to head home to Dallas. I’d flown Finnair on the outbound flight segment from Paris (CDG) to Helsinki (HEL), but this was my first long haul flight on Finnair. My return journey was to start with a Finnair A330 from Helsinki to JFK.I’ll get to the Lounge in a moment but I wanted to point out what a fan I am of the Helsinki Airport in general. It’s complete eye candy for…

Trip Report: Finnair Economy Comfort | Helsinki to New York

After 36 hours in Finland, it was time to go home. I really enjoyed my short visit in Helsinki so I wasn’t quite ready to go. I had arrived quite early at the Helsinki Airport since I wanted some avgeek time, snapping photos and checking out the Finnair Lounge.  This was only my second flight on Finnair ever and my first one was just days before from Paris to Helsinki. This was an intra-European flight on an A321 in Economy. I…
