Flight Review: British Airways Business Class San Francisco to Zurich
Between the negative reviews of British Airways’ Business Class product on Flyertalk and the fact that they made me pay to select seats in advance, I didn’t have high expectations for my flights to Zurich. The final verdict after my round-trip? I really, really liked my flights, and it was all because of the seat, which was so comfortable that I was able to sleep like a baby for 7-8 hours each way. That simply does not happen for a light-sleeping insomniac like myself.

Review: LOT Polish Airlines Lounge Warsaw – Bolero Executive Lounge
The review of the Bolero Executive Lounge at Warsaw highlights its basic offerings and shared space with multiple airlines. While it provides clean bathrooms and a place to grab a drink, the limited food options and lack of entertainment make it less appealing, especially for those expecting more from a business class lounge experience.

Introduction: Everyday I’m Trufflin’
Thanksgiving is my favorite time of the year to travel for a couple reasons. Firstly, while other holidays rotate around, there’s no guessing which days you’ll have off for Thanksgiving – it’s a 4-day weekend every single year. Secondly, while domestic travel during Thanksgiving week can be a nightmare, it’s the perfect time to travel internationally. As an added bonus, you can essentially bank on the fact that there will be a premium cabin sales each year which means that you can fly in style, most often to Europe, for a fraction of the normal price.

Redeeming Korean Air Miles Has Become Significantly Easier
I’m one of the charter members of the “Korean Air Fan Club” and in recent years have been funneling the vast majority of my Chase Ultimate Rewards points into the Korean Air Skypass program. I’m planning a trip to Asia later this year, and decided to finally cash in those Skypass miles. I blocked off an hour of time to go through the incredibly confusing and annoying award booking experience that I remembered from 2014, but to my surprise, I had confirmed tickets in my account in less than 10 minutes.

Flight Review: Turkish Airlines Istanbul – Warsaw, Poland Business Class
Turkish Airlines offers a unique business class experience on its Istanbul to Warsaw route, featuring ample food and attentive service despite the use of coach seating with an empty middle seat. While the lack of entertainment may be a drawback, the overall comfort and amenities make for a pleasant short flight.

REVIEW: BA First Class, London to New York JFK
A pre-Christmas flight to JFK, upgraded with Avios, onboard my least favourite BA plane, was perfectly fine. Yes, ‘fine’.
