Here’s a summary of my recent flight with China Eastern from Beijing (PEK) to Shanghai (SHA). Despite being a short flight (~1 hour), I was surprised they operated it using a massive 777-300ER. The flight was cheap, departed, and arrived on time, and the service was solid. They even gave us a hot meal with coffee or tea. Kudos to the China Eastern team! Let’s dive into the details.

Here’s a recap of my recent experience on a long domestic flight with Aerolíneas Argentinas from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia (the southernmost city in the world). I flew this route in Premium Economy (domestic Business Class) many times. This time I was flying Economy. The plan was full, as it was close to Christmas, and plenty of people were traveling for the holidays. The overall experience was smooth and nothing surprising. The crew was warm and friendly. I didn’t get any of the spectacular views this time because it was cloudy on arrival.

Trying Xiamen AIR was not something at the top o my wishlist, but I had to reprioritize that as part of my EuroBonus Millionaire challenge: it was one of SkyTeam airlines that I needed to fly. From all the airlines in China, Xiamen was the ones I was the least excited about, especially after the few reviews I saw online. Also because I was flying domestic instead of long-haul, it made it even less exciting. However, and despite it wasn’t the most glamorous experience, the airline was solid and everything went smooth. Here’s a detailed recap of my experience.

With Korean Air, this short hop from Seoul to Beijing was a breeze. I had a great time onboard; the plane was spotless, the crew was overly attentive, the meal was delicious, and the on-time performance made it a solid option. Plus, the experience at Seoul Incheon was smooth and efficient. Here are all the details.

Here’s my recent experience flying Kenya Airways’ fifth-freedom route from Guangzhou (CAN), China, to Bangkok (BKK), Thailand, in Economy Class. This late-night 2.5-hour flight serves as a technical stop before continuing to Nairobi (NBO). I took this flight as part of my ambitious challenge to earn one million EuroBonus points with SAS and SkyTeam by flying 23 flights across 16 SkyTeam airlines in just 14 days.

In my quest to earn one million EuroBonus Points with SAS and SkyTeam, I flew from Bangkok (BKK) to Jakarta (CGK) on Garuda Indonesia’s Boeing 737-800, taking advantage of a last-minute Business Class upgrade for around $90 USD. It was worth every cent. Garuda Indonesia delivered an impressive experience, living up to their reputation for world-class hospitality.

Here’s my recent experience on SWISS First Class from Zurich to Singapore. I was excited to try SWISS service on their 777-300ER and compare it to Lufthansa’s First, which I’ve flown a few times in the past.
