Seeing the World in a Weekend — Larnaca, Cyprus

A weekend getaway to an island in the Mediterranean is always a good idea, and Cyprus was a good choice. With no predetermined destination in mind — the price of the airfare usually dictates the majority of our travel choices — Cyprus presented itself to us because of the very cheap fare. It’s a five-hour […]

American First Class To Hawaii

Aloha!

I flew American first class from Los Angeles to Honolulu yesterday, and wanted to share a few observations.

I first wanted to just briefly talk about the lower 48 to Hawaii market. I find it to be one of the most fascinating airline markets in the world. It's theoretically a high yield leisure market, while it's a low yield business market. Alex wrote about this a while ago, with his post entitled "Why Aren't There Nicer Seats To Hawaii?"

Which Aer Lingus Flights Feature The New Business Class?

Last July, Aer Lingus announced that they would be installing a new fully flat business class product throughout their longhaul A330 fleet.

I've flown Aer Lingus' old business class product between Boston and Dublin before, which I enjoyed. After all, Boston to Dublin is quite a short flight, so even an older business class product is fine.

The reason I'm especially interested in Aer Lingus' business class to begin with is because they're a British Airways Executive Club partner, and redeeming BA Avios on Aer Lingus is an incredible value, due in part to the fact that they don't impose fuel surcharges.
