Air New Zealand Business Class: Auckland - Tahiti - Auckland. 160;Friday, August 21, 2009 – Air New Zealand. Auckland - Tahiti - Auckland. We just had flown in from Beijing. And after 12 hrs stopover in Auckland (Koru Lounge) the last part of our journey (on miles) to the South Seas was about to begin: the flight to Tahiti. Seat pitch was still quite generous, but I have to add that there was nobody seating in front of us (we were in row 2). The menu cards were given out. Botanic garden, Tahiti. The fli...

Air France Business Class: Paris - Washington, D.C. 160;Saturday, March 19, 2011 – Air France. Paris - Washington, D.C. It has been quite a while since my last AF flight. In the meantime I had been flying a number of different airlines, so now I can compare better than before when I only flew Skyteam to reach my Platinum lifetime status. I was waiting in line for the Affaires check in when suddenly a young girl approached me. "Sir, do you have your boarding pass? Last but not least: I understand that Ec...

Turkish Airlines Business Class: Munich - Istanbul - Hong Kong. 160;Friday, February 12, 2010 – Business Class. Luckily we could book Turkish Airlines' Valentine's Day Special to Hong Kong which meant: 1100 EUR for two (! In Business Class from Istanbul to Hong Kong. Friends of us were coming with us, so we were a party of four on the way to Hong Kong. All we needed was a feeder flight from Munich, which we booked in Economy Class. Istanbul - Hong Kong - Istanbul. Back at our seats (herringbone-layout) ...

United Airlines First Class: Munich - Washington, D.C. 160;Saturday, December 4, 2010 – First Class. Munich - Washington, D.C. Since my girlfriend has moved to another location, it takes a bit longer to drive to Munich airport than before. Nevertheless, it was Saturday morning and I managed the appr. 150 kms in exactly one hour. Cold and snow on the side, but it was sunny and the highway free of ice and dry. Nice drive this morning. One earlier, one later? After take off new drinks were served and I ret...

Continental BusinessFirst: Birmingham - New York. 160;Saturday, July 30, 2011 – Business Class. Birmingham - New York. Our plan was to fly to Birmingham with Lufthansa (Regional, operated by Eurowings) and continue on Continental 27 from Birmingham to Newark. The flight to EWR was only on a 757 but according to Continental's website all 757 have already been equipped with the new BusinessFirst seats, so I was really looking forward to that flight. We started to walk to the gate quite early and were real...

Cathay Pacific Business Class: New York - Hong Kong. 160;Thursday, January 13, 2011 – Business Class. New York - Hong Kong. Start of a nightmare. Yes, if you know that you will be in plane for at least 16 hrs, you can fly whatever you want. It doesn't feel very comfy to think about this long time. But back to the beginning. Turkish Airlines had a Valentine's special to Hong Kong once again (remember our report a year ago? The flight was - of course! However, the driver was great and took me back to the ...

Lufthansa Business Class: Munich - New York - Munich. 160;Friday, August 27, 2010 – Business Class. Airbus A330-200 / A340-600. Munich - New York JFK / New York EWR - Munich. Aisle access might be quite a challenge if you are seated at the window and the person next to you is sleeping, because you need to climb over your neighbour's seat. Lavatories are tiny, really tiny. Changing clothes is quite an effort if you don't want to bump against the wall every other second. However, the lavatories we...The f...

British Airways Club World: Milan - London - New York. 160;Saturday, November 13, 2010 – British Airways. Business / Club World. Milan - London Heathrow - New York / Newark. Saturday morning, 4:30: my mobile is ringing. Wake up call. How could I be so stupid? After 2 minutes I remember: Getting up 3 hours earlier saved me more than 700 Euros. This makes appr. EUR 240.00 per hour of sleep. Good deal. Try to sleep. So I did this time as well. Seat down, fully flat and I had a good 4 hrs. sleep...Overall: ...

Thai First Class: Munich - Bangkok Phuket - Bangkok - Munich. 160;Friday, June 10, 2011 – First Class. Munich - Bangkok Phuket - Bangkok - Munich. One month ago we decided to visit Thailand, so this was a good way to spend some US miles. As the difference between First and Business was small, we went for Thai First for the first time. We also thought about flying from Paris and trying the suites, but connection flights from Munich didn't fit our schedule, so we took the nonstop flight from Munich. In th...
