Brussels Airlines Business Class A330-300 New York To Brussels

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."

Air Canada Executive First 777-200 LR Toronto to Hong Kong

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:

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!
