This recent weekend, I was so blessed to enjoy my first ever, upgrade! All previous premium flights in my life, had to be paid for, the hard way :) The video contains the entire takeoff and landing, so feel free to skip ahead. The service was stellar! The flight attendant looked well after me. This ...
Jump to postThere is no reason for SAA to loose money on this route. A few years back, Nationwide Airlines operated it's only intercontinental service on this route with a 767. If it's so un-profitable, why would private airlines bother?
Jump to postI really enjoyed this report! Something unique and it looked like sooo much fun!
Jump to postAaah! This is how first class should be. Truly like the old days. I wish more airlines could offer this type of first class service and offer an experience. Something special and making flying very desirable. This is completely opposite of what flying has actually become. No thrills, cheap, mundane....
Jump to post" Can't believe people actually miss the terrible old A.net."
It was easier, simpler, had more search fields, took up less graphics and had FAR less adds. I'll take the old site any day over this cluttered new site.
Wow.. Making my heart nostalgic now. This route was the first and only route I've ever had to chance to fly first class on. Back in 1995. I remember how incredible it was to be able to sit in the very front of a brand new a330-300. Hence the name mh 330 f.c. Langkawi is beautiful. How things have ch...
Jump to postThis site is now cluttered with info, adds and graphics and the options for smaller icons is now gone so that it will take you even more time to navigate. The reason why google is such a success is because it is so simple and uncluttered. The exact opposite of airliner.net now. So I now rather googl...

Count me in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate the new site. Adds all over. No option for small pictures to view quicker. I used to be a first class member too. That was great as there was no adds. The new site is slow. I used to visit the site a few times daily. I was very active. Now, the site is an irritation. Slow, adds, difficult to ...
Jump to postHi Benjahman, Your photos are postcard quality. I haven't enjoyed a report as much as this one in a long time. I lived in Asia for two years and visited Cebu. Those cobalt blue waters from the natural springs and inland lakes are incredible. This report brought back very old and fond memories. The n...
Jump to postHi Benjahman,
Very nice report! I like the colours of Asiana Suites.
Your entire trip look very good and exciting. That caviar seems great though.
Thanks for posting
Thanks JFK31R!
I agree. I don't think any other carrier has less
Hi lychemsa,
It's Pearls Apartments in Umhlanga. We get it for one week per year only and it's usually the best time for us around this time of year.

KLM does add some class with their cutlery and crockery in my opinion.

Hi again! Woke up, so here's the return trip from (Split Scimitar Surprise). After a restful and sunny week, it's time to go home. It's winter in Johannesburg but Durban was nice and warm. So warm in fact that I was tanning, swimming in the pool and the lovely warm current ocean. This was in such a ...
Jump to postOkay so I travel annually to Durban for holiday. Yes, I've covered the same leg a few times before, but this one comes with a Cessna crash landing! Please don't expect too much, I took the pics with my Iphone and it was far away <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/graphics/s...
Jump to postI really enjoyed your report. I took a journey to a city I've not seen in person as I read your report. Amtrak seems to be a very good product. It must be awesome looking out those large windows, facing directly outwards and drinking tea whilst reading your newspaper. <img src="http://cdn-www....
Jump to postPersonally, I think that if any passenger would opt to pay a little extra for a bit of an upgrade, then why don't just fly direct? I'm not sure how a semi premium passenger would reason if a higher fare with lower flying time would be a better option. <acronym title="British Airways">BA</acronym> <a...

Thanks for posting
aAAHHH!! What a super awesome unique report!! This is unexpected as Saudi only very recently launched their new business class on their 787s. It's probably only a year after they launched their new first class which looks very cool but unfortunately already dated since first class passengers will no...

Like those seats. Seems very plush and comfortable.

SQ 777 with only 4 first class seats? Did I understand you correctly? Would be very interesting if they go for a super premium feel like Air France 777 FC. Business and premium economy looks good too. <acronym title="Singapore Airlines">SQ</acronym> also one of my favourites. Glad you had a good fli...
Jump to postHi Sam, Very interesting and fairly unique report. Love the space on those very wide first class seats. I've always found it very interesting that Air China would place their first class between business class and premium economy. Did it feel exclusive? Does first class loose some of it's appeal sea...

Jump to postHi capicua!
Love the sky-interior of the 737-800s. The seats looks the same as the new Recaro slim line domestic seats used on most European airlines, BUT, these actually have adjustable headrests.
How was the seat?
Interesting report.

Hi Sam,
What was the sea urchin sashimi like?
Enjoyed your report. Thanks
Highly interesting read! I like your sense of humour and must say, you describe the trip in perfect detail. It felt like I was the one flying <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/graphics/smilies/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" border="0"/> It's so terrible that <acronym ti...

Interesting shots at night. Dramatic shots. Must say, the 737 looks good.
Love those Turkish delights given in nice wrappers.
Thanks for sharing!

WOW!
They seem to be a Michelin Star type airline. Surely deserving enough stars to make a trip to Dusseldorf for the single purpose of flying with them like a celeb!
What a bargain!!
Don't think they can make any money on this route
Lovely report as always. Thanks!
Hi Invaders! Seems like a perfect trip. No hassles, good food, service, comfort and probably the feeling of flying in your own private jet on your route back home. SAS looks like a great airline. I LOVE those Hastens bedding and their new business product looks like one of the best out there, except...

I actually read this report on your site earlier this week. But it seems like there are more picture here.
The seats and cabin looks absolutely exquisite! Probably the best single isle cabin out there.

I love the picture of the China Eastern 777 in their new colours.
Some pretty interesting pics of Berlin and Budapest.

Hi hoons90!
Interesting report. Like your eco-bed!! Seems very comfortable. I love it when that happens and you get an entire row for yourself.
The chicken dish looked tasty.
Must say, the airport looks impressive.
Thanks for posting!

Greetings Whitelight44! Highly amused with the fact that you'd prefer to avoid the 787. It seems that the A350 with the 9 abreast configuration is actually more comfortable. The Airbus A330 2-4-2 layout still remains the best option to me and I'm very glad to know they will continue with the A330NEO...
