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

Domestic Flight Review of South African Airways on the A330-200! When traveling to a new country, a big part of what I enjoy in my travel jo

ASKY? You might be ASKing me... Honestly, it was a twist of fate I ended up with ASKY - the Pan African airline. Long story short, a thou-shall-be-unnamed airline I originally booked with cancelled my flight, leaving me stranded in West Africa unless I proactively perform some self-rescuing. Given my stingy travel budget, this left me pretty much with two options: 1. fly Ethiopian Airlines east, to East Africa 2. fly ASKY Airlines south, to well, South Africa Option 1 did off

I was frankly very excited about this Scoot flight - even though it has a not so favourable arrival time of 2.05am(!) in Guangzhou, this flight will certainly spice up my travel journey with its two firsts for me: first flight on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner first flight in ScootBiz Flight Details Operator: Scoot Flight: TR106 Route: Singapore (SIN) to Guangzhou (CAN) Departure from Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2: 9.55pm / 10.11pm^ Arrival in Guangzhou Baiyun Internationa

Singapore Airlines is the first operator of the A380 superjumbo, with the maiden flight to Sydney in October 2007. Ten years later, in November 2017, Singapore Airlines has unveiled new A380 cabin products that would span across all classes of travel, to be fitted across its entire new and existing A380 fleet. In anticipation of the new A380 cabin products that would debut on 18 December 2017 on SQ221 (Singapore to Sydney), here is a look at the original A380 Economy Class ca

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

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 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). When boarding started, there was just a few passengers sitting near the gate. Business Class passengers were called to board first, and when no one responded, the handful of Economy Class passengers procee

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

This is my first experience of Bangkok Airways, flying a domestic flight from the Thai capital, Bangkok, to the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai.
