Here we have it….the last flight of 7 in a series that took me around the globe in style. This flight technically wasn’t a necessity but in order to maximise Oneworld partners flown on the trip I saved BA till last. I made use of the First Wing at T5, this is a fast track…
Round the World: American Airlines Business Class, Los Angeles to London Heathrow in a Boeing 777-300ER LAX-LHR
After an excellent flight with JAL I arrived into LAX and realised this was the first opportunity to see true daylight and be outside on the whole trip! I had 5 hours for my connection so I proceeded through immigration and officially entered the USA….technically the first country I visited on this journey! After catching…
Round the world: Japan Airlines Business Class, Tokyo Narita to Los Angeles in a Boeing 777-300ER NRT-LAX
The flight in from Hong Kong arrived on time and as it would transpire the furthest gate from international flight connections…..not to worry good to get the blood flowing. I was the first to disembark and as I walked the halls of the airport to go through security there was no one about, it was…
Round the world: Japan Airlines Business Class, Hong Kong to Tokyo Narita in a Boeing 787-9 HKG – NRT
I left the Cathay Pacific First Class cabana feeling as if I hadn’t travelled at all, high praise indeed! I approached the gate for flight number 4 of my round the world trip with delight…this would be my first time with JAL. Upon arriving at the gate I could see a shiny new dreamliner waiting…
Round the world: Cathay Pacific Business Class, Jakarta to Hong Kong in an Airbus A350 CGK-HKG
As I arrived into Jakarta (30 minutes late due to holding pattern) a Oneworld/Cathay Pacific representative was at the gate to meet me and escort me through flight connections to the lounge. He then told me he would bring me a boarding pass from the Cathay desk whilst I relaxed. I really don’t like giving…
Round the world: Qatar Airways Business Class, Doha to Jakarta in a Boeing 787-8 DOH-CGK
I landed into Doha just after 6 am, the flight from Manchester had been great….more akin to First Class than Business Class in terms of food quality and attentive service. I had 2 hours until flight number 2 of my round the world adventure so I proceeded to the Qatar Airways Business Class lounge in…
Round the world: Qatar Airways Business Class Manchester to Doha in a Boeing 787-8 MAN-DOH
So the day finally came for me to undertake a trip around the world, with no stopovers – just aircraft after airport after lounge after aircraft…..60 hours of rinse, dry…repeat. I can tell you that this is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time….for no other reason than I can and I…
