Review – Alaska Airlines Economy Class – Vancouver to Seattle to Honolulu – 737-800/900

February 4, 2018April 21, 2018Alvin 2

In November, I flew down to Hawaii for a couple of days with my Dad. While the main purpose of the trip was to obtain our scuba diving certifications (which I now have!), this also gave me the chance to review Alaska Airline’s economy class product on a relatively longer flight. Previously I had only flown Alaska on short flights like YVR-SEA and SEA-SFO.

Review – ANA Business Class – Tokyo Haneda to Sydney – 787-9

January 3, 2018April 21, 2018Alvin Comment

The third and final leg of our outbound flights was from Tokyo Haneda to Sydney. At just over 8 hours, it’s not that long of a flight when it comes to long haul flights, but having been travelling for 24 hours already since we left Vancouver, we were already struggling to keep our eyes open at this point!

Review – WestJet Economy Class – London Gatwick to Toronto – 767-300ER

One of the more economical ways to fly between Canada and the UK is with WestJet’s service to and from London Gatwick. Peterson has previously reviewed the WestJet 767 route from Vancouver to London Gatwick, but this time I’ll be sharing my experience on it, flying from Gatwick to Toronto.

Review – ANA Business Class – San Francisco to Tokyo Narita – 777-300ER

A couple of months ago, ANA had an error fare for a round trip business class ticket from Vancouver to Sydney for an insanely low price of $800 CAD. Peterson and I had been lucky enough to score a pair of these tickets, allowing us to fly ANA in business class for the very first time!

Review – United First Class – Vancouver to San Francisco – 737-800

October 11, 2017April 21, 2018Alvin Comment

Our United flight from YVR to SFO was the first of five flights in our ANA error fare business class booking. For some reason, we always seem to book an itinerary with a super early flight out of YVR, and this one was no exception. We headed to the airport at 3am, where it was still pretty quiet.

Review – Etihad Airways Business Class – Abu Dhabi to Paris – A340-600

September 13, 2017April 21, 2018Alvin Comment

As expected, our flight to Paris boarded from a remote gate at Abu Dhabi airport, as there are not enough gates to handle the amount of traffic they have. I was totally fine with this, because it meant I would get another amazing close-up view of the beautiful A340-600 aircraft we would be flying on.

Review – Etihad Airways Business Class – Seoul to Abu Dhabi – A340-600

We were especially excited for this flight, as we would be flying on an A340-600, which are slowly going out of service. I personally have never flown on one (not that I can remember anyways), and I’ve always thought they look super sleek with their four engines and long fuselage.

Review – Cathay Pacific Regional Business Class – Hong Kong to Seoul – 777-300

August 17, 2017April 21, 2018Peterson Comment

We had a long walk to our gate from The Pier lounge, since our plane was scheduled to leave from gate 18. The flight to Korea was originally scheduled on a long haul configuration a330, but was swapped last minute to a regional 777-300. What luck! =( There was already a pretty big crowd when we got to the gate. Boarding began shortly after we arrived.

Review – Cathay Pacific Business Class – Hong Kong to Vancouver – 777-300ER

August 13, 2017January 13, 2018Alvin Comment

Although it was the end of my trip, I was looking forward to this flight back home to Vancouver. As we were travelling back from Hong Kong with my grandma, I was excited for her to be experiencing a premium cabin for the first time! I was able to upgrade her economy ticket to a business ticket two weeks before departure.

Our flight to Hong Kong departed from gate 126 from Terminal A. Getting from the main terminal to Terminal A requires taking the shuttle train. One thing to note is that once you’re in Terminal A, you can’t take the shuttle train back to the main terminal.
