I prefer EL AL than United and I dislike Newark. But your trip seemed to be pretty OK. I heard that United replaced the nice ice cream they used to serve in economy with a cookie!! The Dead sea and Masada are wonderful experiences. If you return one day you should go. I also liked Haifa, Acre, Galil...
Jump to postDid you like Luang Prebang? Is it worth it? I had no idea they operate this flight to Hanoi? How was Vietnam? Thanks.
Jump to postWe flew from Naples to Split on Easyjet (Italy). The flight took only 50 minutes. Here is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGk7a2xffas The plane had to rebalanced so some passengers were moved from the back to the front. Easyjet was great; reasonable fare. Fast check in unlike so many of t...
Jump to postIt was a terrible airline but reliable. For desert they would stoop so low as serve a Swiss Miss chocolate pudding you can buy at the supermarket. They had a fantastic frequent flyer program. That's why I flew them. I did fly in First once on a free Award to Honolulu from New York which included a f...
Jump to postWe flew in June of 2022 from Stockholm to Vienna on Austrian Airlines A320. This is a Video Trip Report. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2W4j06H3GU&t=336s The service was identical to SWISS; just a small piece of chocolate. Five years ago they offered a better more filling Milka Suchard chocola...
Jump to postThe food in economy is the worst. Looks nice in Business.

Jump to postVideo: London to Newark; B767; economy; extra legroom seats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuVIJT7DpeA We flew on an economy class one way United award. The cost from London was $165; a lot due to high taxes charged from the United Kingdom. Because only middle seats were available we splurged for ...

Jump to postThe meal from the USA to London looks as usual mediocre except for the cheese. They serve these cheap deserts and a few pieces of lettuce. The breakfast looks awful. They used to serve a nice croissant with butter and jam which was really good and filling. The meal from London looks good. What was t...
Jump to postI thought ASIANA was bought by Korean?
Jump to postNo crocodiles in that pool?
Jump to postBusan is your favorite city? If I go to Seoul is it really worth visiting Busan?
Jump to postSaw a lot of LATAM crews at our Miami airport hotel in December 2019. Am I correct that they are out of business?
Also saw Air Italy crew. They are out of business.
I did not like flying Pan Am. But it was easy to get free tickets with miles.
Jump to postWow 34" legroom. No wonder generally they are much more than China Air etc. Fares from New York nonstop $1,250 to Tokyo vs. $800 on Air China via Beijing. I think it's worth paying extra.
Jump to postGood to know. May take them if i can't use points.
Jump to postLOL Virgin no longer give that disgusting Aussie Bar. However just a yoghurt and fruit is measly. I prefer the US airlines that give a croissant with jam. The legroom on the regular economy was actually OK. How much do they charge for the extra legroom?
Jump to postEven their economy is good. Good legroom decent meal. Except no breakfast from New York. Just OJ.
Jump to postBoracay looks nice. Legroom looks bad on EVA? Next time go to Palawan. The beaches on Bali look not so nice.
Jump to postFlew them economy New York to Joburg. Great meals and very generous. Also 33" legroom.
Jump to postNever heard of JetSmart. Is it new?
Jump to postMy first El Al flight was on a Boeing 720B in 1962 from London to New York. I just missed the Bristol Britania. And my Grandmother's first EL AL flight was to Nicosia on a Curtis in 1950. I remember in 1957 going to Vienna Airport when my grandmother took an EL AL Constellation.
Jump to postI flew from London to Bucharest on Tarom; $100 one way vs, $350 on British! And on BA no meal in economy. On Tarom a small hot lunch.
Jump to postI wanted to go to Madagascar but was worried about getting sick. They had the plague a year ago. Did you go to Nosey Be?
Jump to postI avoid Lufthansa. Awful legroom like being in a cattle car. And Frankfurt Airport is a mess.
Jump to postThe food is a lot better on EL AL. The cake is a joke; so tiny.
Jump to postYou skipped the legroom and only showed one meal. I would have liked to see it. Anyway thanks.
Jump to postBummer about the pool. You should get a discount. Nice they gave you a refund. Good that UNITED have improved their meals. Just flew Austrian from New York R/T. Food was good but the portions were measly! For the snack we got 1/2 a sandwich on a 9 hour flight. We stayed at the Adlon in Berlin and th...
Jump to postI love those sparkling grape soda drinks! Why can't Austrian and US airlines serve meals like this?
Jump to postWonder what they cut in Business. The food was great 2 years ago.
Jump to postI avoid airlines offering only 31" legroom or pay extra. On SAS it's $59. Austrian offers 32" which is good. The food is a disgrace. Austrian portions are tiny but this is a disgrace! I think Etihad will have to merge with Emirates. They are losing money.
Jump to postI thought Purto Nogales was closer to Torres del Plaine. They reopened the airport. Was it difficult to find a hotel? What month was this? How was the weather?
Jump to postUnited had upgraded their meals. It looks bad. And Lufthansa also downgraded. The size of the cake is a joke. So is the lettuce. Apart from the measly legroom.
Jump to postWhat can one wear in such cold weather?
Jump to postDid you like Myannar? Did you need to take Malaria pills? How was the weather? Thanks.
Jump to postLOL the sharks, the box jelly fish and crocs. I went in the col;d ocean for a few seconds on the reef. Saw a large brown fish coming and out I went.
Jump to postThe breakfast on Virgin is vile. An Aussie bar. Yuk. I personally would prefer a blueberry muffin or plain croissant. Pretty rich a cream cheese croissant. Once BA served a bacon croissant which was disgusting.
Jump to postI preferred Business on Etihad than on Qatar but the crew on Etihad were very reserved. the food was better. Was it hot at the barrier reef? I went in the winter (theirs) and it was springy. Would like to visit the famous beaches on Whitsunday and Lizard Island. Did you swim in the ocean?
Jump to postProblem: I read they were reducing the legroom I think from 33" to 32"? Did you notice the difference. O ne reason I always flew with them was the legroom.
Jump to postUnfortunately I only spent 1 day in Istanbul on a cruise. What left a lasting impression was Topkapi Palace. However with all the attacks there I am uncomfortable going. Backtracking is OK if one fly's in Business. LOL. The food looks delicious.
Jump to postBusiness looks OK but see they now only serve ice cream in Business. Not a fan. Dislike their economy long haul; mediocre legroom and meals. And Frankfurt Airport not pleasant for connections.
Jump to postBusiness looks OK but I don't like their economy long haul. Bad legroom and mediocre meals. Also dislike Frankfurt Airport.
