Aeromexico 787-9 Business Class Review: Premier One Experience with Sky Bar Highlights (Mexico to Buenos Aires)
As the final leg of my EuroBonus Millionaire adventure, I was flying Aeromexico’s Business Class from Mexico City to Buenos Aires on their newer Boeing 787-9. I was excited to try out this cabin, compare it to their 787-8, and see their renowned Sky Bar. Here’s a full breakdown of how it went—from check-in to landing in Buenos Aires.

Aeromexico 787-8 Business Class Review: Seoul to Mexico City
Long-haul flights are always a mix of excitement and curiosity, and this one didn’t disappoint. As part of my EuroBonus Millionaire trip, I got the chance to fly Aeromexico’s Business Class from Seoul to Mexico City on their Boeing 787 Dreamliner. What made it even cooler was being able to try out both the 787-8 and 787-9 cabins, complete with their famous Sky Bar. For 114.000 EuroBonus points, I was all set for this epic journey, which included a quick stop in Mexico City before heading to Buenos Aires.

SWISS First Lounges in Zurich - World's Best Lounges?
About a year ago, my AwardFares co-founder and I booked round-trip First Class flights to Singapore during the special deal that was being offered by Lufthansa at the time. Our trip was initially booked on code-share Singapore Airlines flights in both directions, however, thanks to a cancellation and schedule change we were able to rebook our outbound flight in order to try SWISS First as well.

Singapore Airlines First Class Suites A380 Review: Singapore to Frankfurt
A true bucket list item, and one of the best cabins in the sky. Here’s a detailed summary of our recent experience on Singapore Airlines’ First Class Suites from Singapore to Frankfurt.

China Airlines A350-900 Business Class Review: Amsterdam to Taipei
China Airlines is Taiwan’s largest airline, known for its friendly service and solid network of routes across Asia and beyond. The airline has over 15 Airbus A350s in its fleet (some of them with the ex-SAS Business cabin) and was recognized several times for their comfort and high standards of service.

Virgin Atlantic A330-300 Economy Class Review: Washington to London
For the second leg of my EuroBonus Millionaire challenge, I had to fly with Virgin Atlantic. I saw some extremely low fares (that counted towards the promotion) from New York to London, with a quick stop at Washington Dulles (IAD).

The Stunning Delta One Lounge at New York (JFK): Mind-blowing
Right after the arrival of the first flight of my SAS EuroBonus Millionaire challenge, I had the chance to pay a long visit to the newly opened Delta One Lounge (flagship lounge) at New York JFK. The lounge was opened in July 2024, with only 3 of these opened so far (LAX and one more launching in Boston BOS on December 11). I was blown away by its comfort, level of service, and services provided.

Delta One Suites A330-900neo Review: Buenos Aires to New York
Since 2024, Delta has operated their A330-900neo with Delta One Suites on their daily nonstop service from Buenos Aires (EZE) to New York (JFK), which makes perfect sense as the route is nearly 11 hours and serves plenty of business travelers between the two cosmopolitan cities.

A Review of Finnair's Premium Economy from Tokyo to Helsinki (A350-900)
Traveling back from Japan recently I had the opportunity to fly Finnair’s Premium Economy from Tokyo Narita to Helsinki. Here’s a review of my experience.

Cathay Pacific Business Class Review: London to Hong Kong
Overall, my experience with Cathay Pacific was good. There are some highlights and some odd downsides. The cabin is comfortable, although not in the greatest of layouts. The food is very good, and the staff is friendly and courteous, although service can sometimes feel a bit rushed. The IFE is really bad on their older 777 models, although it’s been improved on newer planes. They offer plenty of options on board for both food and drinks, all of them of great quality.
