While I originally booked a seat on the aircraft’s inaugural flight from Tokyo to Fukuoka, I eventually had to skip the flight due to other commitments. I rebooked the flight a couple of […]

On my way back from Europe to Japan back in September 2022, I flew with Swiss from Prague to Tokyo. The flight from Prague to Zurich was operated by a Helvetic Airways E190-E2 and the long-haul flight was operated by a 777-300ER.

While I have flown Emirates multiple times in the past, I never actually reviewed any of its flights in detail. As such, I was excited to be flying with the airline on my trip to Europe, from Tokyo to Vienna via Dubai at the end of last year. I was even more excited to have

When making my way to Europe back in October, I flew with Qatar Airways. After an excellent flight on its A350-1000 in QSuites, I spent a few hours in one of Doha airport’s lounges before catching my connecting flight to Vienna. Like with the flight from Tokyo to Doha, I was offered the option to
