Swiss Airlines A330 Business Class New York To Zurich ZRH

Today's report comes to us via Point Me to the Plane, and showcases Swiss Airline's A330 Business class product between JFK and ZRH. As a design freak, I can't give Swiss enough credit for their business class. The modern, fresh, design elements and wood accents look incredible, and also seem very functional. The food seems to always garner high praise as well. Check it out for yourself.

Excerpt:
"I went with the fillet of beef as my main choice and I think it was the best fillet I’ve ever had in-flight…better than any Asian airline. Normally the fillet is dry or overcooked, but this was juicy, warm, and closer to medium-rare"

How Amazingly Juicy is that?

US Airways A330-300 Envoy Suites Business Class A330-300 Charlotte to London Gatwick

Today we've got a rather unusual longhaul route. Charlotte, North Carolina to London Gatwick Airport via US Airways's Envoy Suites, their business class product to Europe. We've never highlighted anything from US airways before, but we figured we should get one in before it disappears to the merger.

This flight comes to us via Mommypoints on Boardingarea.

Excerpt from the post:
The flight attendants were extremely nice.  One came across as a Southern aunt who is fun to go visit and always has something witty to say.  They all were very chatty and personable.  When they saw me taking pictures of the seat they asked if I wanted to be in one – sure, why not?!

Today we add another airline to our ever-growing directory of trip reports, with this trip report of Brussels Airlines Business Class on their staggered A330-300. This comes to us from One mile at a time, and takes us from New York to Brussels.

Here's an excerpt from the post:
"As I pulled out the tray table I realized that it’s probably the most impractical one I’ve ever seen. Both pulling it out and putting it back in was damn near rocket science."

CX Cathay Pacific First 777-300 Hong Kong to Los Angeles LAX

Today's trip report brings us to the cosmopolitan island of Hong Kong (where I'm headed in a few months). This great in-depth trip report and review showcases Cathay Pacific's transcontinental first-class product on their 777-300, with full beds, and every detail thought of down to the freshly cooked eggs.

Excerpt from the article: "I opted for the egg dish that came with a small portion of corned beef hash and baked tomato. The eggs were fantastic and freshly pan-fried… boy what a difference from the rubbery pre-made egg stuff I’m used to when flying domestic First Class."

 Check out the FULL trip report right here on Frequently Flying blog.

Today's trip report brings us to Canada (eh?) and then on to Hong Kong. This video trip report is by Youtuber averflavour and showcases Air Canada's Executive First Class product on their Boing 777-200LR. I love Canada, and I love flying on 777s so in my mind this is a great trip. Enjoy.

The World's Shortest Flight [Trip Report Video]

This video comes from Seth at The Wandering Aramean, and it showcases the world's shortest scheduled commercial flight. The flight is from Westray to Papa Westray, and it's operated by Ireland's own Loganair on a Britten-Norman Islander. At under two minutes long, the captain doesn't even have time to tell you it's OK to unfasten your seatbelt...that's right, a two minute flight. I've been on subway rides longer than that. Check out the ENTIRE flight right here, below.

Air Europa A330 Business Class JFK to Madrid

This is a rather rare find. It's a trip report for the infamous Air Europa Business class on their A330. It wasn't the most luxurious trip, but it certainly was interesting and that's why I'm posting it. This comes from our friend thepointsguy.

An Excerpt from the post:
 Once I was seated, it was a good 20 minutes until a flight attendant spoke to me – or anyone else in business class. They seemed to be preparing the galley, and when a businessman asked the purser why we were late boarding, she just brushed him off and said “We will make it up in the air, sir.” The man didn’t seem happy with that answer, but let it slide.
They need to take some hints from the designers at Etihad:
