Trip Preview: My Daughter’s First Flights

About a month after I got home from Canada and Europe, I went on a short domestic trip with my wife and daughter. While the trip had no interesting flights review-wise, at 6 months old, the trip’s flights were my daughter’s first three flights. We also stayed at a couple of hotels worth reviewing and …

Trip Preview: Old Prop Hunting in Yellowknife on the Way to Europe

My most recent trip was meant to be a simple visit to Europe to try some airline products I haven’t reviewed before and spend some time with my family. Instead, it turned into an (at least in theory) around-the-Northern-Hemisphere adventure with a few days in Yellowknife in the north of Canada. The trip allowed me …

Trip Preview: You Don’t Say No to a 747 in 2023

A while back, Asiana Airlines changed the equipment on two of its Seoul Incheon – Tokyo Narita flights in April 2023 to the Boeing 747-400. I thought it would be great to fly on one of the flights but at first, I didn’t see any award availability. That changed, however, when I checked on the …

Trip Preview: Cathay Pacific First Class, VietJet, and Everything in Between

On January 1 of this year, I was very lucky to have grabbed one of Cathay Pacific’s insane $850 first class error fare tickets from Vietnam to the US. And, after months of waiting, I finally took the trip earlier this month. Now that I’m back, it’s time to process all the photos and notes …

Trip Preview: A Poker Night in Macau

With one of my high school friends with whom I used to play poker a lot being in Asia, we could not skip a quick visit to Macau. And, of course, if I was to be making my way from Japan all the way to Macau, I could not skip planning the itinerary in a …

Trip Preview: Visiting Palmdale to Fly on NASA’s DC-8

Last year, I was fortunate enough to fly on NASA’s airborne observatory – SOFIA – in Christchurch, New Zealand. Last month, I had a chance to experience another one of the agency’s research aircraft – Douglas DC-8. I won’t talk much about that in this article, though. Instead, I’ll give you a brief overview of …

Trip Preview: A Quick 24-Hour Visit to Singapore

Over a year ago, I wrote about a plane spotting trip to Phuket – and how the ticket I used for that trip left me with a Tokyo – Singapore – Tokyo – Sapporo segments to fly later. Because of on reason or another, I rescheduled and pushed back taking those flights a couple of …
