Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: February 18, 2018

Matthew Klint Posted onFebruary 18, 2018February 18, 2018 Leave a Comment

Good evening from Carmel, CA…I’m spending the holiday weekend at my favorite California Hyatt and have been enjoying the fresh air and beautiful weather with my family.

Earlier today we drove down Highway 1 to Big Sur…it is always beautiful:

Last week, Alaska Airlines introduced a draconian new restriction on Cathay Pacific, Hainan, and JAL awards only to roll it back a day later. Lufthansa formally unveiled its new livery but admitted it will take seven years to repaint all its aircraft. Finally, Norwegian Airlines broke another transatlantic speed record.

For those in the USA who are off tomorrow, enjoy the day. I’ll be blogging on regular schedule. Here’s a review of the week’s top stories.

TOP STORY: “Demonic” Child on Lufthansa Flight

The @qatarairways Al Mourjan Business Lounge at Do The @qatarairways Al Mourjan Business Lounge at Doha Hamad International Airport is one of my favorite business class and @oneworld lounges in the world. It does get crowded at peak times, but the food is consistently delicious and always worth a stop. There’s even a separate café with grilled paninis made-to-order. With a second lounge now open (Al Mourjan Lounge at The Garden), hopefully the crowding won’t be as bad around midnight.

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. 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.

Nearly five years ago, I took a “break” from I Nearly five years ago, I took a “break” from Instagram ahead of the birth of my first child. Goodness, how time flies. 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.
