Review: Thai Airways 777-200 Business Class Bangkok To Seoul
Thai Airways simply does not offer a competitive business class product on its 777-200. There is no other way to say it. I appreciate the warm service on Thai and thought the meals were decent on this flight, but...

Review: KLM ERJ-190 Business Class Frankfurt To Amsterdam
KLM offers a competitive product in shorthaul business class. Ordinarily I would not upgrade an intra-Europe flight (unless flying into London or as part of a longhaul premium cabin journey). The value proposition often is not there since I...
