Did Qantas really invent business class?
Jul 16, 2020, 01:58 AMInteresting article! Does anyone know what the approximate pitch and recline of those early Qantas and and PanAm business/clipper class seats was? Given regular economy class pitch was still pretty generous then, you'd assume pitch for business class was comparable to the more spacious Premium Ec...

Inside Air Canada's Vancouver Signature Suite lounge
Feb 14, 2020, 12:33 AMSo for SYD-YVR-EWR flyers, presumably this lounge would only be accessible prior to the YVR-SYD flight, not the YVR-EWR leg?

Review: EVA Air's Boeing 787-10 business class
Nov 16, 2019, 04:13 PMYour advice about the odd-numbered window seats being the 'true' window seats (as opposed to the ones closer to the aisle) is not entirely true. I know this because I followed your advice and booked 3A on the 781 TPE-HKG, and to my surprise discovered that I was in an 'aisle window' seat. However...

Chile is enjoying a world-class wine revolution
Oct 13, 2019, 03:03 AMGreat article! I've noticed Chilean wines getting better too (though I've always had a soft spot for Carmenere, if it's handled well).Next up, how about a feature on wines from Uruguay?

Jul 19, 2020, 02:15 PMI've been Diamond on Asiana for about 7 years.

Malaysia Airlines & Oman Air Business - What lounges can I use?
Jul 20, 2018, 12:28 PMOriginally Posted by moa999 Checkin generally 3hrs before. I think that is WAY excessive, unless you particularly like getting to the airport early and/or get anxious. Checking in 2 hours prior for international when in business class is plenty of time in my experience. I also check in online wh...

Malaysia Airlines & Oman Air Business - What lounges can I use?
Jul 20, 2018, 10:29 AMTheoretically you can use the EK lounge in SYD, which definitely has some advantages over the QF lounge: the wine and spirits are better (including actual champagne); the food spread is usually pretty impressive (though I don't know how good it is late in the evening prior to MH140, as the lounge...
