Cabin Class

First long haul flight and it was rough. Seat wouldn’t recline at all on a 16 hour flight, stuck upright the whole time. Entertainment screens were broken and parts of the seat were literally held together with zip ties. Food wasn’t great either. Tried to upgrade for the return...

I have a 20+ hour layover at Istanbul Airport with a Turkish Airlines business class ticket. I know I can’t use the sleep pods in the business lounge since those are only available for layovers under 9 hours, which is a bit disappointing. I signed up for the Istanbul stopover...

I recently took a 9 hour international flight in business class that I booked using 140k miles. I was traveling alone and was hoping to actually sleep using the lie flat seat. About 20 minutes after takeoff, my seat suddenly reclined completely on its own without me touching...

My mother and I recently flew from Dallas to Hong Kong in business class, and her experience wasn’t great. I’m wondering if it’s even worth reaching out to Cathay Pacific about it. Her seat had several issues. The power outlet didn’t work for the entire flight, and the seat...

Frontier Airlines has announced plans to upgrade several parts of its customer experience over the next couple of years. According to remarks from Frontier Group Holdings’ Q4 2025 earnings call, the airline plans to roll out first class seating across the fleet, introduce...

I was looking at flights from NYC to Tokyo on ANA and the normal roundtrip price is around $6,300 in business class. But I found an interesting workaround. A flight from NYC to Delhi on American Airlines is about $2,000. Then there’s an ANA business class ticket from Delhi to...

I just booked two roundtrip tickets from Chicago (ORD) to London (LHR) and was a bit shocked by the seat selection prices. BA wants over $100 per person per flight just to pick seats in advance. Since it’s roundtrip for two people, that would end up being around $400 just to sit...

Got automatically upgraded to first class at the gate today on my flight to the mainland. I used to be Pualani Platinum / now Atmos Gold, and under the old system you had to request upgrades online, deal with expiring certs, call customer service, or use miles. This time it just...

Looking at a direct LAX to CDG flight and noticed the price jump from Premium Economy to Business was huge when booking. Business was more than double and over $12k total. Because of that I booked Premium Economy instead. I’m wondering if Air France sometimes offers paid...

This just happened to me today on Alaska. I bought first class tickets about a month ago for both directions. On my return flight, while I was waiting to board, I suddenly got reassigned out of first class to a middle seat halfway back in the plane. Pretty frustrating after...

I booked a round trip business class flight from the US East Coast to Greece for this summer for me and my girlfriend. Total was a little over $6k, and I’m planning to propose on the trip. Obviously I’d like us to sit together on the flight, but SAS wants about $240 total just...

Trying to understand how the Air France Business / Premium cabin baggage rules actually work when departing from the U.S. AF’s website says the allowance for Premium, Business, and La Première is 1 small bag (personal item) + 2 hand bags (carry-ons). But I’ve also seen claims...

I’m based in Germany and don’t fly American Airlines very often, but I booked them for a summer trip since the price was decent. Outbound will be FRA → CLT → MCO in Economy. On the return I’m flying MCO → CLT in First and then CLT → FRA in Business. What’s confusing me is the...

I usually have pretty good experiences with Air France, but my recent round trip from CDG to LAX left me wondering. On both flights there was one cabin crew member who was surprisingly rude. On the return flight it got pretty uncomfortable. She kept bumping into my 4-year-old...

I’m flying Starlux soon and was trying to figure out the WiFi situation in Economy, but the info online is confusing. The last thing I can find says they removed WiFi from Economy around late 2024 while upgrading the system. But now it’s 2026 and I can’t find anything saying it...

Just boarded BA48 from Seattle to London and was surprised by the Club World cabin layout. In the past this route had the usual CW setup, but this time it’s 7 seats across and the aisle seats have basically zero separation from people walking by. No divider, nothing. You’re...

Had one of those weird AA moments today. I was first on the upgrade list at boarding but the app showed zero seats left in first, so I just went to my seat and figured it didn’t clear. Then the last passenger boards, looks confused, talks to the flight attendant, and she just...

Was on a LAS to MSP flight sitting in first class and noticed the seat next to me stayed empty the entire flight. There didn’t seem to be any equipment issues, and the flight was roughly 90% full overall. Even the flight attendant mentioned it’s pretty rare to see an empty first...

Flight AI127 from Delhi ended up delayed because three business class seats were broken and the passengers assigned to them refused to move to economy. What made it more frustrating was that the aircraft had reportedly been on the ground for about five hours, so it wasn’t a...
