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 not without a few aches and pains, but the service … Read More
When I discovered an “Error Fare” for Los Angeles to Muscat for $475.00, I figured why not. Mostly on Lufthansa and a bit of Swiss and Gulf Air, sounded like an adventure. And my good friend The Lady Banker has raved about Muscat, the only place of real Arabic Culture in the Gulf region. The return to Los Angeles was … Read More
A fun little “Jumper” flight from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park’s Skukuza Airport, run by South Africa Airlines offshoot, Airlink. Leaving from JUB frumpy domestic terminal, it was a bus ride to board the ERJ 135 on the tarmac. I love these little planes, and when flying alone, the single seat side is perfect. Great views of the landscape as … Read More
Traveling often up to Seattle from Los Angeles, for me, using Burbank’s Bob Hope Airport (BUR) makes it super easy. Alaska usually has about 3 flights a day, so the two hour flight has options and none of the hassle of flying out of LAX. And I have always thought that Alaska offers a good service and generally at a … Read More
With a trip to New York to see friends… thought the perfect opportunity to compare how the Legacy Airlines handle the valuable route of Los Angeles to New York. Usually I would take Jet Blue since they have a flight back to Burbank, which is much easier to get back to The Fussy Flyer (TFF) World Headquarters. But it’s been … Read More
With a friend’s birthday in New York, thought this would be a perfect opportunity to do an airline comparison, a smackdown so to speak. Easy to book one-way tickets between Los Angeles and New York, and try a few different airlines I haven’t flown in a while. And all the major carriers (the Legacies) fly this route, so it makes … Read More

This one starts out with a little story… before it even begins. Originally this flight was to depart from Rio de Janeiro (GIG), but after the booking, AC changed the departure to Sao Paulo, which I believe was their pre-Olympics route. So, rather than rebook on United, who screwed up the ending of the Greek trip, booked a little 1-hour … Read More
Flight Report by: The Lady Jennifer Lynn My family and I had not flown Virgin Atlantic prior to our most recent trip to London. The last long flight we took was on American to Paris, which was unbelievably uncomfortable. With Virgin Atlantic, the online the check-in was seamless, with no wait to check our bags at the airport. What I … Read More
After a 2 hour layover in Toronto, and have US Immigrations in Canada (fascinating procedure), time to hop on the final segment back home to LAX… In 5-hours, back where the weather is better than anywhere else in the world. I know, just flew around it. Of course, there is some technical problem, and some gadget in the cockpit needs … Read More
When planning the jump from Buenos Aires to Rio De Janeiro, I discovered that Emirates has a flight that continues on to Dubai, and thought more fun to fly Emirates rather then any of the other flights that seemed to be available. And since there were two of us, it would be great for one of us to try out … Read More
I do love referring to single class aircraft as “No Class”. But it is an unfair image it may conjure up. And this was a well executed commuter style flight for those who have to go back and forth between the two cities. The only reason I am on this particular segment, is after the initial booking, Air Canada changed … Read More
