British Airways had two flights a day out of Philadelphia direct to London Heathrow, in April of 2017, sadly this changed to just one flight a day. The early flight has a four class cabin structure (First, Club World Business on two levels, World Traveller Plus and World Traveller Coach). […]
My Star Alliance award ticket to Australia was concocted in my insane attempt to try as many different airlines as I could along the way. Having heard great reviews of Singapore Airlines over the years – larger seat, great crew, nice lounges – I was convinced that I had to […]
