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?!

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!

Excerpt:

"For dessert I selected the soft centered chocolate bar with olive ice cream. I love chocolate, but did they really have to have olive ice cream? I know, I’m unsophisticated, I have an unrefined palate, blah blah blah. But I like sweet ice cream with dessert, thank you very much."
