16 Brutal Hours: Testing Philippine Airlines’ New A350-1000 Flagship

Philippine Airlines (PAL) has a new queen of the skies: the Airbus A350-1000. To give it a proper trial, I put all three cabins to the test, moving from Business Class to Premium Economy on short domestic hops, before tackling a grueling 16-hour economy flight from Manila to New York (JFK).

The Turkish Airline That Actually Smiles: My Surprising Journey with Sun Express

Lufthansa’s New First Class: A Game-Changer or a PR Disaster Finally Fixed?

After years of delays, certification issues, and what can only be described as a massive PR headache for the airline, the Lufthansa “Allegris” First Class is finally here. To see if it lives up to the hype, I decided to do a side-by-side battle: the brand-new product on the Airbus A350 (Munich to Chicago) versus the iconic “Old” First Class on the A340-600 (Chicago to Frankfurt).
