Flight Review: Eurowings Discover Business Class – Frankfurt (FRA) To Mauritius (MRU)
After landing in Frankfurt after flying from Dallas Forth-Worth on Lufthansa, we had 7-8 hours to kill before our onward flight to Mauritius on Eurowings Discover. In theory 7-8 hours would've been plenty of time to get out of the airport and see a little bit of Frankfurt. … [Read more...] about Flight Review: Eurowings Discover Business Class – Frankfurt (FRA) To Mauritius (MRU)
Flight Review: Lufthansa Business Class – Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) To Frankfurt (FRA)

After three weeks spent visiting Dubai, Egypt and Jordan, it was time for me and Shae to return to the US. To get back, I booked us tickets on Turkish Airlines in business class.

As a result, … [Read more...] about Flight Review: Emirates First Class – Chicago (ORD) To Dubai (DXB)
Flight Review: Delta Economy – Tokyo Narita (NRT) To Atlanta (ATL)
After flying with Garuda Indonesia from Bali to Tokyo Narita, Shae and I had a 7.5 hour layover in Tokyo.

The … [Read more...] about Flight Review: Delta Economy – Tokyo Narita (NRT) To Atlanta (ATL)

After 10 days in Bali, it was finally time to leave.

Flight Review: Cathay Pacific Economy – Washington Dulles (IAD) To Hong Kong (HKG)
When I originally booked our flights to Bali for our 15th anniversary (see We’re Going To Bali For 10 Nights For (Almost) Free – Here’s How), this was due to be how we got there: Norfolk VA to LaGuardia NY on American Airlines JFK NY to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific Hong … [Read more...] about Flight Review: Cathay Pacific Economy – Washington Dulles (IAD) To Hong Kong (HKG)
