I recently hopped on AirAsia X’s 7-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Tashkent, Uzbekistan (TAS) in their Premium Flatbed business class. On paper, it sounds like a sweet deal: priority treatment, a lie-flat seat, food, and lounge access. But on the ground at KLIA2, I stumbled right into a cheeky little setup that I think is extremely misleading to passengers.
This plane is going to change the way we travel in the future. Small, luxurious, versatile, and capable of staying in the air for up to 11 hours, the Saudia Airbus A321XLR is narrow-body aviation at its absolute finest.
What happens after I hit publish on a review? Do airlines reach out? Do they try to fix things, or do they just get mad? Well, my recent trip on Air Montenegro turned into one of the most wild examples of how powerful our community actually is. It got so crazy that even the Prime
IndiGo recently launched its flagship international route onboard the brand-new Airbus A321XLR, introducing their “Stretch” business class product to connect Mumbai and Athens.
Why is India not capable of building a world-class full-service airline? Is Air India failing all over again? Well, things certainly don’t look good. Tata seems to regret buying the airline, Singapore Airlines isn’t very happy about the joint venture either, and the general public is rapidly losing faith.
We all used to hate EgyptAir. Let’s be honest about it: rude, completely untrained cabin crew, filthy, outdated planes, and catering that was nearly unpalatable. For the longest time, flying Egypt’s flag carrier was a painful ordeal, earning them a reputation as one of the worst airlines on Earth.
What happens when you strip away the champagne, multi-course fine dining, and even the entertainment screen from a lie-flat business class seat? You get Zipair, Japan’s most bizarre budget airline and a subsidiary of Japan Airlines flying an all-Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet.
Flight Details Tony Douglas promised us a “new travel era” with the launch of Saudi Arabia’s new carrier, Riyadh Air. But after flying both their Economy and Business Class products, the reality behind aviation’s biggest PR campaign turned out to be a very bumpy ride. From dirty seats and broken tech to an aggressive no-filming
You guys always wanted me to try Delta Air Lines, “America’s finest airline.” So, I took a trip on the world’s busiest airport in Atlanta to see what they are really like. The result? Shockingly bad. Dirty, old, and broken seats, a cabin crew casually chilling with a Starbucks in her hand while boarding, and a cold service culture that made me question how good they really are.
I recently headed to Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, to experience a true world first: Berjaya Air’s all-First Class/Business Class configured ATR 72. While variations of luxury narrowbodies exist, an all-premium ATR is something the aviation industry hasn’t really seen before.
