When you want to use your miles for a complimentary round trip in business class, rule #1 says you have to look for the cheaper tickets. The only choice I had to go to New York with my miles via a direct flight was to take Delta Airlines Business Class ; well, I definitely have to change my rule #1, because this…
The Emirates miles loyalty program is good enough to allow you a free upgrade from Economy to Business after only one Economy return from Europe to Dubai, that’s why we took the occasion during our 2013 Middle-East Tour to flight from Dubai to Malé (Maldives) in Business with the few miles we had.

Of course, Air France is not a “premium” company like Emirates or Singapor airlines but its first class is not bad and they made…
I like to be impressed when I enter an hotel or visit a country ; I didn’t know I could be stunned by a basic Business Class ! This is the magic of Cathay Pacific, one of the TOP 3 companies which understood that a travel begins when you enter the plane. Indeed, the first impression when you pass the…

Actually it was not a bad idea and more or less a good value even if this company is not know for its luxury… At least it offers constant and pretty good service with a seat that…
For our trip in Thailand I wanted it to be very VIP. I first look at Emirates, which is supposed to have the second or third best first class, but I finally took the advantage of a Thai Airways’s offer, solding 30% off on their First Class rates in early 2012. What a luck ! We experimented probably the best…
