A Perfect Steak on Austrian Airlines

How is Breakfast on a Chinese Domestic Flight?

Tasty Snack on Thai Airways
There are certain things I love about Thai Airways…the first class ground experience being the highlight. Then’s there the onboard food…usually quite forgettable. For this week’s Meal of the Week, I give Thai credit where credit is due. Let...
Afternoon Tea: United Airlines vs. British Airways

A Remarkable Airline Meal in an Airport Lounge
For this week’s Meal of the Week, I focus on an “airline meal” served in an airport lounge. I’ll explain what I mean shortly. Ethiopian Airlines was kind enough to set me up with a complimentary room at the...
This is Why I Love Aeroflot
Aeroflot is one of the most underrated airlines in the world. From “real” business class seats on flights within Europe to warm service to a modern fleet, the carrier is nothing like its Soviet footprint. Oh, and the food is...
