YouTube Review Oman Air's business class, my BIGGEST lie-flat bed yet?! | Flight Review | Muscat-Paris CDG | 787-9

Business class again? Yes! I’m flying with Oman Air from Muscat International Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, and it might just feature the biggest bed I’ve ever had on a plane. Oman Air is one of the newest members of the Oneworld alliance, and their premium cabin has long had a reputation for being something a little special. From the private Business Class check-in wing at Muscat, to the Oman Air lounge, spacious seat, onboard service and dining, this flight offers a fascinating look at one of the Middle East’s most underrated airlines. But does the experience live up to...

Trip Review Qantas 787 Business Class. Best way to cross the Tasman Sea?

With my time in Australia coming to an end, it was time for me to head to my next stop on this trip, Auckland New Zealand. For that I choose to fly with Qantas and booked their business class on the 787 using Avios on the British Airways website. Most of their flights across the Tasman are operated by their 737 800 fleet but QF3 is operated by their 787 9 as it continues onto New York JFK from Auckland. After checking in and dropping my luggage off I headed through security and then through passport control into Sydney Airport International terminal. While walking through the airport it...

Trip Review A daytrip to Melbourne flying JetStar and Virgin Australia

My day started with an early wakeup call and a 05.30 shuttle bus from my hotel near the airport. The shuttle dropped me off at Terminal 2 one of 3 terminals at Sydney Airport, 2 of which (T2 and T3) are dedicated to domestic flights. Security was quick and easy and surprisingly didn’t require scanning my boarding pass. Once through security you descend into the main concourse area where there are lots of food options. Some brands I assume are local but there were other familiar brands like McDonalds and further on as I headed to my gate Relay. My flight was at 08.15 (with hindsight I...

Today, I’m taking a gamble on Omani low-cost carrier SalamAir, flying from Doha to Muscat onboard their Airbus A321neo. Low-cost airlines can be a bit of a lottery - you book the ticket, keep expectations in check, and hope the experience matches the price. But every now and then, those gambles really pay off. In this full flight review, I’ll take you through the entire journey from Hamad International Airport in Doha to arrival in Muscat. We’ll look at the cabin, the leather seats and headrests, legroom, onboard comfort, punctuality, the buy-on-board café menu, and just how affordable...

Trip Review Manchester to Sydney with British Airways

I started my journey at Leeds train station. TransPennine Express operates a direct hourly service to Manchester Airport and it’s a convenient way to get there from Leeds as the trip only take 90 minutes and then from the station its a 15-minute walk to either Terminal via the Skylink bridges though the walking walkways don’t seem to work a lot of the time. For this trip I was heading to Terminal 2 as British Airways now operate out of there and use check in zone E. There was no queue so checking in and dropping my bag off was quick. Short walk to security and I was through there with no...

This week I’m flying with Qatar Airways in their Qsuite Lite business class cabin onboard the Boeing 787-9, from Copenhagen to Doha. After a disappointing previous experience in economy, I was curious to see whether this flight would change my perspective. The 787-9 features the Adient Ascent suite, often referred to as the “Qsuite Lite”, offering sliding doors, impressive privacy, a large 18-inch IFE screen, wireless charging, and a thoughtfully designed storage layout. In this in-depth review, I’ll take you through the full journey: Copenhagen Airport ground experience, boarding, the...

YouTube Review Delayed at Heathrow... Is SAS still worth it? | Flight Review | London Heathrow-Copenhagen | A320neo

A mechanical issue linked to a computer failure delayed our SAS Scandinavian Airlines departure by just over two hours. However, what stood out wasn’t the delay itself, but how it was handled. The Captain and cabin crew provided consistent, transparent updates throughout, turning what could have been a frustrating experience into a lesson in how communication can completely reshape passenger perception. With a light load on board and a comfortable short-haul cabin, this review looks at the full experience, from ground handling at Heathrow to arrival in Copenhagen, and asks an important...

Flying Aegean Airlines in business class between Athens and London Heathrow is a reminder that short-haul premium travel in Europe doesn’t have to feel compromised. In this video, I review Aegean’s Airbus A321neo business class experience, from the standout Athens flagship lounge to the onboard service, catering, and overall cabin experience. I also talk through how I managed to secure a business class using PlusGrade, and why it felt like exceptional value for what was delivered. While there’s no fully lie-flat seat here, Aegean shows that business class is about far more than just the...

YouTube Review Finally flying the Sichuan Airlines FIFTH FREEDOM route | Flight Review | Istanbul-Athens | A330-200

Sichuan Airlines operates one of the more unusual fifth freedom routes in Europe, linking Istanbul with Athens as part of its long-haul network from Chengdu — and in this video, I review the experience onboard their Airbus A330. From check-in at Istanbul Airport to the inflight experience, I take a detailed look at Sichuan Airlines’ ageing widebody product on this short European sector. The cabin feels dated, the seats show their age, and the inflight entertainment system is notably slow, giving the overall experience a distinctly old-school feel. 📍 Route: Istanbul (IST) to Athens (ATH)...

You’ll also meet a familiar face: my husband, Frank, who quizzed me in my very first onboard Q&A — he takes no prisoners in this mid-channel takeover!

Where exactly does HK Express sit in today’s aviation landscape — low-cost, full-service, or somewhere in between? Often described as a low-cost carrier, HK Express actually occupies an interesting middle ground — offering a comfortable onboard experience, friendly service, and a smooth journey, but with a few policies that feel more restrictive than you might expect. In this video, I take you through the full experience, from boarding to landing, and explore whether HK Express leans closer to low-cost or full-service flying.

Apparently, It’s Illegal to Film Out the Window? My Iberia MAD-LHR Experience (A350-900) Just flew Iberia’s A350-900 in Business Class on the short hop from Madrid (MAD) to London Heathrow (LHR), and thought I’d share some thoughts — especially for anyone interested in catching a widebody on intra-European routes. Originally, this flight was scheduled to be operated by an A330, but there was a last-minute aircraft swap to the A350-900. No complaints there — same cabin layout (1-2-1), lie-flat seat, 18” 4K IFE — and a more modern feel overall. Flight time was just under 1 hour and 45...
