Flying from Paris to Asia is a chance to experiment many luxury airlines with first class low rates such as Emirates, Qatar Airways or Etihad Airways. For a trip to Shanghai we decided to choose the Etihad Airways first class – called Diamond First – with a stop at Abu Dhabi, a 15-hour journey that allows us to try the…

The Taoyuan International airport in Taipei is a key point for Asian airlines and brings a lot of traffic ; it is very important to major airline companies to have their own lounge there and try to stand out from others. The Cathay Pacific Business Class lounge is a good signature lounge for the brand and offers all what a Business passenger…

Qatar Airways has the ambition to be part of TOP 3 worldwide companies and for sure, they are on the right path. It begins when you enter the First cabin and go to your seat, which is a mix between a mini-suite and a stand-alone seat. Very large space that allows you to leave a handbag, papers and a laptop…

Sometimes I wonder if I will still be surprised during my trips, because I have already seen and reviewed many airlines, many hotels, many luxury places… And Qatar Airways gave me the best wake-up call possible during a night flight between Doha and Seoul ! It’s not hard to understand why Qatar Airways Business Class has been awarded since 2…

When you want to use your miles for a complimentary round trip in business class, rule #1 says you have to look for the cheaper tickets. The only choice I had to go to New York with my miles via a direct flight was to take Delta Airlines Business Class ; well, I definitely have to change my rule #1, because this…

The Emirates miles loyalty program is good enough to allow you a free upgrade from Economy to Business after only one Economy return from Europe to Dubai, that’s why we took the occasion during our 2013 Middle-East Tour to flight from Dubai to Malé (Maldives) in Business with the few miles we had. First when you arrive at the airport you find…

Sometimes you don’t know what to do with your miles ; some complimentary Economy flights in Europe ? a round-trip Business flight between Paris and New York ? No, with Air France it definitely doesn’t worth it… In my view Air France miles are good only for complimentary A380 First Class tickets – maybe B777 too – or upgrades from…

Returning back to France from a business trip in Hong-Kong, I took the opportunity to upgrade my business class to first class – “La Première” – thanks to a special offer at 60.000 Flying Blue miles. Of course, Air France is not a “premium” company like Emirates or Singapor airlines but its first class is not bad and they made…

I like to be impressed when I enter an hotel or visit a country ; I didn’t know I could be stunned by a basic Business Class ! This is the magic of Cathay Pacific, one of the TOP 3 companies which understood that a travel begins when you enter the plane. Indeed, the first impression when you pass the…

For a business trip top Hong-Kong I chose Air France to experiment for the first time this premium class and gain some miles. Actually it was not a bad idea and more or less a good value even if this company is not know for its luxury… At least it offers constant and pretty good service with a seat that…

For our trip in Thailand I wanted it to be very VIP. I first look at Emirates, which is supposed to have the second or third best first class, but I finally took the advantage of a Thai Airways’s offer, solding 30% off on their First Class rates in early 2012. What a luck ! We experimented probably the best…

My first impression when I entered into the plane and went to my seat was: whaouw ! A very modern, large and clean business class with some brand new seats for a price so cheap… How could I miss it ? For this 1-hour flight we had a quick cold lunch pretty good but nothing exceptional. Unfortunately cabien crew didn’t…
