• Now for a decent frequent flyer program for REX and things could then start to get real interesting!

  • It’s funny, I have the instant reaction of ‘it must have a door otherwise it’s not as luxury’.. but when I flew first class with Lufthansa last year, I really missed the human connection and ‘openness’. The doors (divider) shut made me feel more isolated and le...

  • *A or Skyteam, both are fine with me. The reality is that Virgin can become competitive in the hybrid model by working with an alliance. *A makes sense with Singapore as a partner.
