Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: August 13, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onAugust 14, 2017August 14, 2017 Leave a Comment

Hello from Tashkent, where I am spending several days checking out Uzbekistan. The country has defied expectations…in good way. I don’t recommend the national airline, though.

On Monday I will finish my current trip report with a review of JetBlue Mint class from New York to LA. Before I transition into the current -stans trip report, I may squeeze in a trip report that will include Singapore Airlines Suites Class and three Park Hyatt properties in Australia.

I’ll also soon share details of how I’ll get home from Uzbekistan. It will not be how I expected…

TOP STORY: Why I Suffer Through T-Mobile Service

Kyle argues why he sticks with T-Mobile despite spotty service.


Sorry TPG, I Can Assure You United Business is Better than Economy Class on ANY Airline

United Polaris Amenities

I question the value of a review that argues Lufthansa economy class is better than United business class.


Review: Saudia 777 Business Class Colombo To Jeddah (it was horrible)

I don’t think I’ve ever encountered worst service in business class than on this flight. What a shame, considering the hard product and food was actually quite good.


THIS is Why I Don’t Check Bags

Virgin Atlantic Destroy Baggage

A video showing baggage handlers deliberately damaging checked luggage underscores why I try to avoid checking luggage at all costs.

The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles is the most beautiful of all Polaris Lounges. Stay tuned for a detailed look and many more photos on the blog tomorrow. Well done @united.
@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.
