Lufthansa Business (short haul)
on: B737-300
This is a review of the Lufthansa service from Frankfurt to Dammam in KSA, operated by Privatair operated BBJ2. As Seatplans does not have the exact aircraft available, I had to choose B737-300. I had transferred from a LH short haul flight and thus went straight to the gate for boarding. The ...

I was transferred to EK, from LH, due to the impact of a strike at FRA. Having posted a very positive review of EK recently, I did mention that the experience is variable and this review gives the other side of the coin. On my last excursion to the ball (VIE to DXB), Cinderella appeared ...

British Airways Economy (short haul)

This was a short hop from LHR to GOT, 90 minutes. The positives - on time departure, short taxi and early arrival. Pleasant and efficient crew. Communicative captain, who kept us informed of progress. Good selection of drinks from the bar. The negatives - pathetic selection of 'snacks' and a ...

Emirates First
on: B777-300ER (three-class with suites)
I was transferred to this flight from Austrian Airlines and check in at the gate, so cannot comment on the normal experience. The flight was from Vienna to Dubai. Once in the gate, EK staff had cordoned off a section next to the gate with moveable barriers, which made waiting a little more ...

Austrian Airlines Business (short haul)
on: B737-800
This was a short haul from Heathrow to Vienna, to connect to another flight to Dubai. I checked in a the bmi premium counter in T1 on a busy Friday night, but the waiting period was reasonably short and the agent polite and courteous - I sympathise for bmi staff at the moment, but they appeared to ...

British Airways Business (short haul)
on: A319
Picked up my boarding pass at Orly West and made my way to the Iberia lounge, which is landside and the opposite end of the terminal to BA's check-in desks and boarding area, which is in the non Schengen part of the terminal. I've used the Iberia lounge for several years, as it also hosts other ...

As a resident of Malta, who travels regularly to the Middle East, options were affected when British Airways decided to withdraw from serving the islands. This meant trying to find ‘through’ tickets from agents such as Expedia or risking the journey with two separate tickets, which usually ...

Air Malta Business (short haul)
on: A319
Check in a Heathrow terminal 4 was fast, with a dedicated business class queue, followed by a fairly quick security clearance using the fast track channel, slowed down because two passengers in front were very disorganized and slow. The Holideck lounge, where Air Malta business class pax are ...

Air Berlin Economy (short haul)
on: B737-700
This was a one way flight from Malta to Nuremburg, to start a business trip. From arriving at -2 hours, the check in process took 1 hour and 25 minutes and could only be described as resembling the chimps tea party at Whipsnade zoo (for those of a certain age.) This for a flight with I estimate ...
