Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: January 14, 2018

Matthew Klint Posted onJanuary 15, 2018November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

I’ve just begun my next trip…it will be a busy week and much of it is still unplanned.

It has been a relatively quiet week in industry news, with Alaska and Virgin now operating under a single certificate. A primary focus of my blog over the past week has been on my surprisingly excellent trip on Finnair, including the Finnair A350 Business Class.

Here’s a review of the week’s top stories.

TOP STORY:  Rat-Infested British Airways Concorde Rotting on Heathrow Tarmac

Review: Finair A350 Business Class Helsinki to Beijing

One of my best flights ever…Finnair A350 Business Class truly impressed me.


Was SWISS First Class Worth It?

Decisions cannot be based purely on dollars. My flight in SWISS First Class was worth it for so many reasons.
