Sky ReviewsObservations, Trip Reports and Airline Experiences

The Cathay Narita Lounge in Terminal 2 was just overhauled and it is beautiful! Access is from the 3rd floor – take the elevator or escalator up.

Simple answer, you should choose the Cathay Pacific Business Lounge over JAL if you are at Narita International in Tokyo, Japan. If you have One-World Sapphire or Emerald or have the ability to get into the Cathay Pacific Business Lounge at Narita, do it.

The Lufthansa Athens Business Lounge in Athens International Airport (Star Alliance) was overhauled and completed in December 2016. The lounge now exhibits design motifs of other Lufthansa lounges you experience in German airports rather than the awfully dated design that preceded it.

This is my review, or informational post, about flying with Aegean on the A320-200 in economy coach class between Milan and Athens.

This review of Delta was for a flight from New York City’s LaGuardia Airport LGA Terminal D to Atlanta ATL.

Boarding orderly but slow. Passengers from the end of Boarding Group 2 and onwards were required to short check roller boards with no exceptions (even if it was your one and only bag). This obviously caused a backup and slowdown.

Wasn’t planning on doing a review so don’t have photos at the moment. I’ve flown this a handful of times.

Short story: Great Service, Subpar, Ratty Airplane

Long Story: Air Serbia took delivery of a used Jet Airways A330 for the New York (JFK) to Belgrade (BEG) route. As of now, this is the only A330 they have. You step onto the plane and immediately notice the faux wood floor separating the coach and business sections. Both coach and business are carpeted as usual. However, the entry, along with the very neatly manicured/dressed flight attendants may give the impression that you are entering something much better than you are.

This COPA flight departs at 0800. Check in extremely friendly. Gate agent also very friendly. Unfortunately, no lounge is open in the terminal at this time.

Leg space okay for 6′. Shoulder space feels slightly tighter than normal. There are wings on headrests which makes sleep easier. Wings are firm and thus helpful

Entertainment boxes (free content is worthless, and the remainder of content is for pay) are under rows B, C, D and E in coach. Very uncomfortable as the seats and boxes are misaligned so you have to either crook your legs angled or work with your seat mates to shift under the other seat. Seat pitch itself (knee-room) is fine for 6′.

Just a couple photos from the ANA Business Lounge in Naha, Okinawa.

You have booked a ticket on Peach Aviation (or Peach Airlines as we will call it) a month ago, to get you from Taipei, Taiwan to Okinawa, Japan.

You wake up, check your emails and make your way to the Taipei airport, which is approximately an hour outside of the city. Upon entering the airport you look at the departures board and notice that next to “Peach Airlines” is marked “Flight Cancelled”.

You will be interested in this post if you want to learn more about frequent flyer miles (including some of the technical part) or already know about them.

Poor mobile phone camera shot from the Cosmopolitan gives the idea

Traffic to JFK

Lovely as always – as in broken cars, potholes, gridlock and sunny skies.
