So that it doesn’t get buried in the middle of this page… for LX40, I pre-booked the A La Carte “Healthy Dinner”, and it was a fantastic choice for an Economy flight. Well worth the effort and money, gave a long economy flight a great start. Time to head home, and I was looking forward to seeing ZRH Zurich again. … Read More
This was my first long haul in Economy on Air Canada, so was curious just how bad or good it was. Their long haul international Business I really like, so always up for a challenge, Copenhagen here I come in in 37G. And overall, it was a pleasant 7 hour flight, but it always helps when you do not have … Read More
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, a very efficient process. I never have issues when traveling … 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… just too old and frumpy a plane. Getting to LAX … 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 retiring 747-400s were on hand for a Tour and with … 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 would I be able to use it?” was another question. … 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 better caliber of service. I am happy to report that … 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 compared to some of the others who fly this mighty … 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 before it was phased out for the more traditional seating … Read More
