YouTube My ABSOLUTELY AWFUL American Airlines flight | Flight Review | Dallas Fort Worth-São Paulo | 787-9

I had high expectations for this American Airlines long-haul flight… but what followed was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had in a long time. Join me as I fly from Dallas Fort Worth to São Paulo onboard the Boeing 787-9 in economy, putting American Airlines’ long-haul product to the test. From poor food (including a moment that quite literally burned my fingers), to uncomfortable seating, inconsistent and at times rude service, and no functioning Wi-Fi, this is a flight that really missed the mark. In this full, honest review, I’ll take you through every part of the...

Chaos at LaGuardia… and we’re cutting it very fine... Join me on this American Airlines domestic economy flight from New York to Dallas as a routine departure quickly turns stressful, with long lines, confusion, and what feels like a full-on TSA meltdown threatening to derail the entire journey. Will we even make it to the gate in time? Did we make it?

YouTube The truth about Finnair's Premium Economy cabin... | Flight Review | Helsinki-JFK | Airbus A350-900

  • 616
  • 0
This week, I put Finnair’s Premium Economy to the test on a long-haul flight, to see whether it really lives up to the “premium” name. At first glance, there’s a lot to like: a stylish, well-designed seat with generous recline that feels like a real step up from Economy. But as the flight goes on, the experience becomes more of a mixed bag. From comfort and space to food and service, I take you through the full journey from Helsinki to New York's JFK highlighting both the standout moments and the areas where things fall short. So, is this a worthwhile upgrade, or does it miss the mark...

Join me as I return to Finnair’s game-changing AirLounge, this time with my husband joining me for the journey, to find out whether Finnair still deserves its place among Europe’s very best airlines. Before we even step onboard, we explore the premium lounge experience at Heathrow Terminal 3, visiting the lounges of Qantas, American Airlines, and British Airways to see which one truly offers the best start to a long-haul journey. From the design and atmosphere to the food and overall experience, we put them all to the test. Then it’s time to board Finnair’s long-haul aircraft and settle...

Review: Auckland to London via LAX with Air New Zealand and British Airways

After a great 3 nights spent visiting Auckland and previously before that 5 nights visiting Sydney in Australia it was unfortunately time to leave New Zealand and start heading back to the UK. When I originally booked this trip, I had multiple options to get back to the UK from New Zealand. They were via the Middle East via a hub like Doha or back the way I came via Southeast Asia via a hub like Singapore. I choose a different option over the Pacific and via Los Angeles. This route meant I got to fly with Air New Zealand, the second flight from LAX to Heathrow was with British Airways...

YouTube Nabbing Lufthansa's business class TWICE for £119 | Flight Review | Paris-Heathrow | A321/A320neo

What started as a simple journey home quickly turned into something far more interesting… Instead of paying over £270 for a direct flight, I flew Lufthansa’s Business Class from Paris to London via Frankfurt for just 4,194 miles + £119 in taxes and fees. On this trip, I experienced not one, but two Lufthansa lounges, including the impressive Senator Lounge in Frankfurt, along with consistent onboard service, excellent catering, and a product that proves you don’t always need a lie-flat seat to enjoy business class. From fresh meals and premium drinks to genuinely friendly crew, this was...

Business class again? Yes! I’m flying with Oman Air from Muscat International Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, and it might just feature the biggest bed I’ve ever had on a plane. Oman Air is one of the newest members of the Oneworld alliance, and their premium cabin has long had a reputation for being something a little special. From the private Business Class check-in wing at Muscat, to the Oman Air lounge, spacious seat, onboard service and dining, this flight offers a fascinating look at one of the Middle East’s most underrated airlines. But does the experience live up to...

Review: Qantas 787 Business Class. Best way to cross the Tasman Sea?

With my time in Australia coming to an end, it was time for me to head to my next stop on this trip, Auckland New Zealand. For that I choose to fly with Qantas and booked their business class on the 787 using Avios on the British Airways website. Most of their flights across the Tasman are operated by their 737 800 fleet but QF3 is operated by their 787 9 as it continues onto New York JFK from Auckland. After checking in and dropping my luggage off I headed through security and then through passport control into Sydney Airport International terminal. While walking through the airport it...

Today, I’m taking a gamble on Omani low-cost carrier SalamAir, flying from Doha to Muscat onboard their Airbus A321neo. Low-cost airlines can be a bit of a lottery - you book the ticket, keep expectations in check, and hope the experience matches the price. But every now and then, those gambles really pay off. In this full flight review, I’ll take you through the entire journey from Hamad International Airport in Doha to arrival in Muscat. We’ll look at the cabin, the leather seats and headrests, legroom, onboard comfort, punctuality, the buy-on-board café menu, and just how affordable...

Review: Manchester to Sydney with British Airways

I started my journey at Leeds train station. TransPennine Express operates a direct hourly service to Manchester Airport and it’s a convenient way to get there from Leeds as the trip only take 90 minutes and then from the station its a 15-minute walk to either Terminal via the Skylink bridges though the walking walkways don’t seem to work a lot of the time. For this trip I was heading to Terminal 2 as British Airways now operate out of there and use check in zone E. There was no queue so checking in and dropping my bag off was quick. Short walk to security and I was through there with no...

This week I’m flying with Qatar Airways in their Qsuite Lite business class cabin onboard the Boeing 787-9, from Copenhagen to Doha. After a disappointing previous experience in economy, I was curious to see whether this flight would change my perspective. The 787-9 features the Adient Ascent suite, often referred to as the “Qsuite Lite”, offering sliding doors, impressive privacy, a large 18-inch IFE screen, wireless charging, and a thoughtfully designed storage layout. In this in-depth review, I’ll take you through the full journey: Copenhagen Airport ground experience, boarding, the...

A mechanical issue linked to a computer failure delayed our SAS Scandinavian Airlines departure by just over two hours. However, what stood out wasn’t the delay itself, but how it was handled. The Captain and cabin crew provided consistent, transparent updates throughout, turning what could have been a frustrating experience into a lesson in how communication can completely reshape passenger perception. With a light load on board and a comfortable short-haul cabin, this review looks at the full experience, from ground handling at Heathrow to arrival in Copenhagen, and asks an important...

Flying Aegean Airlines in business class between Athens and London Heathrow is a reminder that short-haul premium travel in Europe doesn’t have to feel compromised. In this video, I review Aegean’s Airbus A321neo business class experience, from the standout Athens flagship lounge to the onboard service, catering, and overall cabin experience. I also talk through how I managed to secure a business class using PlusGrade, and why it felt like exceptional value for what was delivered. While there’s no fully lie-flat seat here, Aegean shows that business class is about far more than just the...

Sichuan Airlines operates one of the more unusual fifth freedom routes in Europe, linking Istanbul with Athens as part of its long-haul network from Chengdu — and in this video, I review the experience onboard their Airbus A330. From check-in at Istanbul Airport to the inflight experience, I take a detailed look at Sichuan Airlines’ ageing widebody product on this short European sector. The cabin feels dated, the seats show their age, and the inflight entertainment system is notably slow, giving the overall experience a distinctly old-school feel. 📍 Route: Istanbul (IST) to Athens (ATH)...

This video picks up where last week’s journey left off, connecting onward from Lufthansa’s long-haul A350 service from Hong Kong to Frankfurt, onto this short 70-minute hop from Frankfurt to London Heathrow. Despite the short flight time, there’s still plenty to explore — including a look at Lufthansa’s Business Class lounge in Frankfurt, before boarding for the final sector into London. You’ll also meet a familiar face: my husband, Frank, who quizzed me in my very first onboard Q&A — he takes no prisoners in this mid-channel takeover! Short-haul Lufthansa is very much a contrast to the...

This flight features an extra-legroom bulkhead seat, and in this review I break down whether it truly lives up to the hype - from seat comfort and space to sleep quality on an ultra-long-haul sector. I’ll take you through the full experience, including boarding, the cabin environment, inflight entertainment, food and service, and how Lufthansa’s Economy product stacks up on one of its flagship...

Where exactly does HK Express sit in today’s aviation landscape — low-cost, full-service, or somewhere in between? Often described as a low-cost carrier, HK Express actually occupies an interesting middle ground — offering a comfortable onboard experience, friendly service, and a smooth journey, but with a few policies that feel more restrictive than you might expect. In this video, I take you through the full experience, from boarding to landing, and explore whether HK Express leans closer to low-cost or full-service flying. It’s a solid, comfortable flight that I’d happily recommend —...
