Re: Some of Skyteam's exclusive's part I

Hi, Great report.. reminded me on my last trip in F. I hope that you managed to redeem those miles with the old award values.. I can't imagine what you paid in taxes. See that you have managed to get the best out of F by arriving early and utilizing all facilities provided in F. I noticed that they ...

Re: LH Italia: BRU-MXP-BRU

Quite surprising to see LH Italia competing vs brussels airlines on the BRU-MXP-BRU routes? Some new codeshares to come there? I guess for now, it will still be separated, but most probably they will start reducing this and eventually they might rotate this? I am not an expert, but I guess when the...

Re: KLM World Business Class questions

Hi guys, 11 March I'm flying with KLM on their 747 from New York JFK to AMS and on to BRU. Now this is the first time I'm flying with KLM in their world business class.

Re: Adventure with Firefly: SZB-PEN

seems to be a better product than Airasia. You get 20 kg luggage allowance , an allocated seat ( to avoid the stampede ) and a drink + snack. Oh yes, looking at the price paid and what you get, this is really value for money. I do wonder what they serve on longer flights. I do think that FY has a b...

Hi, Great to hear if they are seriously considering it. The most probable alliance that they will join is OW. They have lots of relationship with most of the OW airlines. I don't think AF and KLM would be happy if they were in ST. It might work with *A, though I think SN have nothing to gain in this...

Free WiFi everywhere looks great, compared to us here in Europe. Yes, I do agree with you. It is a pity that in Europe such services needs to be paid for at so many lounges, which in my opinion should be part of the purpose of a lounge. Over in Asia, most of the lounges and even airports now have f...

Nice report. How did you like the service of LH? I flew them a few months ago and thought that service was better than what I thought. I know that they are lacking in ptv's compared to other carriers, but it was ok for overnight flights.. Did you have also an asian crew + germans? Hope you enjoyed M...

Hi, Wow, from the first few posts, seems that the program is reaching nearly rock bottom qua CS.

Hi, That was a nice overview of the b.flex service. Sad to hear how low the new SN is compared to the previous one. It is really sad that how a really good airline in the right direction has taken a 180 degree turn. As for the FA incident, I think that the should have been a bit more careful (such a...
