Overalll, I like Air Canada a lot. This was a no frills commuter kind of flight. But the seating ptich is an inch or two more that United or American Economy, and arriving at Toronto YYZ is quite a bit easier than one might expect. Even with a Passport Control, … Read More
American was having a few sales, so I thought it would be fun to go to Chicago for a “Foodie Run”. And once in booking I discovered they were actually flying some decent aircraft between LAX and ORD… the Dreamliner 787-8. I have sworn off flying anymore Domestic Carrier 757s… … Read More
I had the great pleasure of being included in United Airlines 12th Annual Family Day at their SFO Maintenance Hangars. And this was the day that Untied and it’s employees say goodbye to one a great old centerpiece of the United fleet, the 747. Two of the soon to be … Read More
Update 10 August, 2017 It appears that it is happening, and starts 4x a week on Dec 18, 2017, with flights going Daily after Jan 14, 2018. While putting together our listing for all LAX International Non-Stop / Direct Flights listing, we noticed some good news… It appears the A350 … Read More
I will admit, when I first heard of Clear, the Biometric ID Service, I was a bit skeptical. I have TSA Pre, I have Global Entry, couldn’t figure out why I would want to pony up $179.00 to join. And for me, the service wasn’t even at LAX, so “when … Read More
I don’t fly much domestically, but with visiting friends in Denver, thought a good way to sample American Airlines (AA), and save 34,000 miles about to expire. Pricing out the flights, AA proved to be about the same as the LCC, but with more legroom and I would hope a … Read More

With all the Hoo-Ha on the United Polaris reveal, and their new Boeing 777-300ER, we couldn’t help notice what a tight squeeze it was in the back of the bus. Being that the 777-300ER is one of the more popular long-haul craft (sorry A380), we wanted to see how United … Read More
For those living in Los Angeles, Air New Zealand makes a great alternative to fly LAX – London. Generally priced a bit less than the competition on this route, and one of the better services. And this made a great time to test out their SpaceSeat for the Premium Economy … Read More
As a rule I find Euro-Business to be rather unspectacular. Same seats as Coach with no one in the middle seat is just a bit underwhelming, but you do get the all the other advantages, and with Lufthansa the service on board is always top notch. And this 2 hour … Read More
Not having flown SAS since I was a child, was looking forward to flying with them again. Also, wanted to test out the SAS Plus, which is the highest class they offered for this flight. Figured I would get an additional lounge to check out if nothing else. Boarding went … Read More
Yes, I was a skeptic. When I hear Economy Class on a Low Cost Carrier (LCC) and Long Haul all in the same sentence… fear strikes. But, I did it and more than survived, I can easily go again, and for 225.00 to Europe, can’t beat the price. It was … Read More
