Expectations: I have to admit that I am totally excited to fly on this. I love the 747-8 (a better aircraft than the A380) and this is my first time in First on this plane. It is the main reason I routed us to Frankfurt for our around the world … Read More
Time has arrived for the midnight flight to Frankfurt. And I am quite curious just how well Cathay treats their First Class passengers on their home turf. So our porter gets our luggage over to the corner where First Class is kinda hiding. Honestly I am a bit underwhelmed and … Read More
Having flown Singapore (SIA) before in their Suites, I was really excited to see what the 777 First Class was like. Singapore recently phased out the A380 service from LAX and added two flights on the 777-300ER. So no more Suites from LAX, only the First Class seating. I will … Read More

With a 2 hour layover in HKG, a shower, a snack, it was off to Gate 65 to hop on my flight to Denpasar. If available I would have done First Class, but the best they offer is a Regional Business Class seating, which is the equivalent of Delta or … Read More
