Etihad Airways Flight Review: B777-300ER flight EY470 from Abu Dhabi to Singapore

Between the ME3, Etihad Airways operate just a modest 1x daily flight to Singapore compared to Emirates (4X daily) and Qatar Airways (3X daily). When the opportunity arose to fly Emirates or Etihad, I decided to go for Etihad Airways as I figured I would get more opportunities to fly Qatar Airways or Emirates given their more frequent schedules from Singapore. After meeting the nice Etihad flight attendants and experiencing the friendly Etihad inflight service, I didn't regre

Singapore Airlines is the first operator of the A380 superjumbo, with the maiden flight to Sydney in October 2007.

Lao Airlines Flight Review: Sincere Hospitality Onboard QV535 (Vientiane to Singapore)

Lao Airlines is an airline I've been eyeing on trying, given the very positive reviews I have read online on its inflight services. It was also the perfect excuse to visit the UNESCO World Heritage city Luang Prabang. Lao Airlines restarted its Singapore route for the Winter season 2017/2018, offering the following schedule: QV536 Singapore - Vientiane - Luang Prabang Departs Singapore: 2.15pm / Arrives Vientiane: 4.10pm Departs Vientiane: 5.00pm / Arrives Luang Prabang: 5.45

Singapore Airlines Impressive Economy Class: SQ866 Singapore to Hong Kong Flight Review

It has been a year since I last flown with Singapore Airlines, and I have been looking forward to experiencing Singapore Airlines' retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER on a short weekend jaunt to the wonderful dining and shopping mecca, Hong Kong. While I had expected a superb B777-300ER cabin product, I was quite blown away by the quality of inflight services and hospitality rendered by the polished Singapore Airlines cabin crew team on this flight, and I was travelling in Economy C

Azerbaijan Airlines Flight Experience: J2 16 Dubai to Baku

Azerbaijan Airlines operates two daily flights between Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD) and Dubai International Airport (DXB). My flight, J2 16, operated by the Airbus A320 aircraft, departs Dubai at 4am, and arrives in Baku at 7am (with a 3 hour flight time).

Flying Emirates from New York to Milan: EK206 Flight Review

There's plenty of options when flying between New York to Milan, including direct flights with Alitalia, American Airlines, and Delta Airlines from JFK, and United Airlines from Newark. An airline which stands out on this route is Emirates, which offers a non-stop A380 service from New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP). After my experience onboard this flight EK206, I am absolutely convinced when travelling to Milan, flying with #EmiratesA380 is to travel in style! La dolce vita! Fli
