A few weeks ago I got the opportunity to review Qantas’ spectacular flight QFA63 from Sydney to Johannesburg. It is Qantas’ only direct flight from Australia to Africa and is one out of the only two flights from down under to the African continent! Let me take you on one of the most southern routes in […]
The Qatar Airways Airbus A350 – What’s new? The new Airbus A350-900 is the most advanced, the most efficient and the most high-tech passenger plane on the planet. It is the revolution the aviation world has been waiting for, and Airbus’ answer to Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner. But what exactly is the hype all about? What makes the Airbus
Kuwait Airways is a little bit of an extraordinary Middle Eastern airline. It doesn’t exactly dominate the world market, and neither does it operate the newest or fanciest planes. You barely hear about the airline and there isn’t a wealthy Sheikh that funds the company. No, that’s not the airline from Kuwait. I’ve flown on
After flying on China Eastern Economy Class earlier this year I was eager to try it’s Business Class product. I was on my way to the ITB in Shanghai and my flight was about to leave very early. This time I wanted to give Lavish Ride a shout, a limousine pick up service which offers airport drop offs and pick
China Southern Airlines’ Airbus A380 is the biggest ever registered airplane in China, and the Guangzhou based airline is to date the only Chinese carrier to operate the largest passenger plane the world has ever seen. Chinese Airlines are still a big mystery to everybody who doesn’t consider themselves a frequent flyer… Check out my
I can definitely summarise Cebu Pacific’s story in one sentence with ease. 57 airplanes and 10,764 identical seats. You definitely know what you get on every flight you are going to take with the second-largest airline in the Philippines. Whether you’re flying from Manila to Sydney, Cebu to Boracay, or Zamboanga to Tawi-Tawi, your seat
Earlier this month I covered China Eastern Airlines old Business and Economy Class on their Airbus A330 which they still use on many domestic and regional routes. This time I was keen to try China Eastern’s brand new Boeing 777 and their new cabin product which will be used on most flights to Australia, North
I found a very cheap air fare from Prague to Bangkok with a stop over in Kiev with Ukraine International on Momondo for just $250. I was a bit skeptical whether the Ukrainian airline is any good or safe but every airline operating in and out of Europe must meet the same safety standards. It was more
Low budget in the Middle East? It sounds a bit strange in a country like Dubai, which is full of luxury and superlatives. FlyDubai is the number one low-cost carrier in the Middle East and has now expanded into Central Europe. But be aware that FlyDubai is not much better than Ryanair, EasyJet or Air
In November 2016, Dragonair turned into Cathay Dragon. A necessary rebranding to match their parent airline Cathay Pacific. The Hong Kong based airline is operating the majority of Cathay Pacific’s regional flights within Asia. My trip started at the Langham Airport Hotel in Beijing located just next to Terminal 3. I checked in as early as possible to avoid
