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:

Japan Airlines (JAL) 777-300 First Class Chicago To Narita

Here's another Asian Airline we haven't done yet. Japan Airlines. Today we're bringing you a post from thepointsguy where he flies JAL's 777-300 in their First Class suite. Just an FYI- it's not the Skysolo but a slightly different model.

I love actual silverware

An excerpt: 

The seat itself was like an overstuffed white recliner in a fixed shell, and was really roomy at 26 inches wide and nearly 80 inches long. It consisted of a seat and then a foot stool which became part of the lie-flat bed when the seat was fully reclined.

Etihad Airways A340-5 First Class Abu Dhabi to New York

The opulence of Middle Eastern airlines is simply absurd. I've yet to fly one, but hopefully I'll get on one soon. This report is from "One Mile At a Time" on boarding area and it features Etihad Airways's A340-500 First Class product. It's a long flight at 15 hours, but it's probably not bad with a first class suite like this. The whole cabin is designed to feel spacious. The suites are huge, and as with many international suites, there are no overhead bins meaning a very high ceiling. See for yourself!

Here's an excerpt:

Within a minute of settling in I was welcomed aboard by “my” flight attendant, Adrian, a French-Italian guy in his mid-20s who was also the food and beverage manager. I guess the benefit of having only two passengers is that you get a 1:1 crew to passenger ratio in the cabin — that’s pretty tough to beat!

And of course, a photo:

Wow that looks good!

Lufthansa A320 Business Class Frankfurt to Helsinki Intereurope

This video trip report comes from my friend SFFlyer123 who has a fantastic channel on Youtube with a ton more of these. In the video, SFFlyer123 gives us a peek at his ride in business on an LH flight from Frankfurt to Helsinki, and the return on their Airbus A320. Enjoy.

Lufthansa A340-6 First Class Denver To Frankfurt

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with my main blog (AKA the moneymaker). Anyhow, Today's trip report comes to us from Upgrd.com and it covers first class on Lufthansa's long Haul A340-600 from Denver Colorado to Frankfurt in first class. Just a side note- I've flown on this plane and it has a one-of-a-kind bathroom design that you have to check out when aboard. The bathrooms are located below the main level and the plentiful stalls circle around a central "lobby" area where you can await your throne.

Here's a Quick Excerpt:

By the time the dinner and dessert services had concluded, we had about seven hours remaining until our scheduled landing in Frankfurt. I had been up for most of the day, so I figured that it might not be a bad idea to get some sleep.

The flight attendant saw me putting my luggage away, and came over to assist me with setting up the bed. A small duvet was placed on top of the seat, and then I was given a down blanket. My seat only had one pillow, so I grabbed one off the empty seat next to me.

And a photo...

That looks Delicious
