EVA Air Premium Economy Review
Eva Air was the first airline to introduce Premium Economy more than 30 years ago. This was well ahead of any competitor. But being the first, doesn’t always mean you stay ahead. However, in Eva Air’s case, their Premium Economy product is continuing to get good reviews. So when I had to be in Taiwan…

Marriott’s Autograph Collection is ‘a collection of upper upscale and luxury, independent hotels in major cities and upmarket resort areas‘. Upper upscale… That sets quite an expectation.

Singapore Airlines Business Class A380 Review
For the longest time I wanted to fly Singapore Airlines Business Class on the A380.

Hyatt Place Amsterdam Airport Review
My original title for this review was the ‘Hyatt Place Hoofddorp Review’, since this Hyatt Place is actually located in Hoofddorp. Hoofddorp is the village next to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

Vietnam Airlines 787-9 Business Class Review
A few weeks ago, I travelled from Frankfurt to Hanoi with Vietnam Airlines 787-9 in Business Class. I already flew with Vietnam Airlines in Business Class last year, but that was a night flight with their A350. This time a day flight, so more attention to food and service. Please read below review, what Vietnam…

Etihad B777-300 Business Class; worth considering?
I recently flew with Etihad’s B777-300 in Business Class from Bangkok to Abu Dhabi. Until that point in time, I mostly flew with Etihad’s 787 and A380. These business class cabins are one of my favorite business class cabins in the industry. This was the first time I flew with Etihad’s B777-300. Is the business…
