It has been a long time since I flew with Air France. Direct flights from London to Johannesburg in business were super expensive. Air France has nice tight connections so going via Paris only added 2 hours each way – and it was 1/3 of the price. I was flying into Durban and then out …

I live in West London so British Airways is my immediate airline of choice due to its base at Heathrow. I feel like I know Heathrow Terminal 5 almost as well as I know my home sometimes. I fly British Airways often and am currently on silver status. To clarify, British Airways has never paid …

I had heard that Japan Airlines had the widest seat in premium economy of any airline. This, plus my love of all things Japanese, meant I was quite excited to fly premium economy with JAL from London to Tokyo return. And I was not disappointed. In my opinion, Japan Airlines is offering the best premium …

I have flown Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy several times and it is my favorite premium economy airline offer. I had flown Virgin Atlantic Upper Class about ten years ago in my pre-travel blogging days. I remembered it as a positive experience – particularly as I got fun pajamas and there was a bar. I was …

My new favourite way to find a good business class fare on a long-distance flight is to add in another stop counterintuitively. I fly in and out of London, so I go into Skyscanner and put in London say Bangkok (as was the case for this flight) and tick the two stops box. The benefit …
