Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: December 17, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onDecember 17, 2017December 24, 2017 Leave a Comment

After another trip to New York, I’m back in Los Angeles until tomorrow…when I’ll fly to Germany for Christmas. It has been a hectic month, so I am looking forward to some downtime.

American Airlines’ opened a beautiful new lounge and lounge-within-a-lounge in Los Angeles earlier this week. Here’s my review of the new lounge and new Flagship First Dining facility.

We’ll just cut to the chase. Please find a review of the week’s stories below.

Next week: a new product on a familiar airline and Christmas in Germany.

While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
