ZRH Zurich LAX Los AngelesSo 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
CPH CopenhagenThis 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
YYZ TorontoOveralll, 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
ORD Chicago EconomyAmerican 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
DEN EconomyI 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
MUC Munich SAS PlusNot 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 smoothly, and since demand is not high for the Plus … Read More
ARN Stockholm EconomyYes, 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
DXB ZRH FRA EconomyWhen 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
SEA Seattle Rolling ReportTraveling 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
JFK John F Kennedy – CoachWith 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
