Review: Colombo to Paris on Sri Lankan A330-200 international business class

Written by Miles and Even More @ Miles and Even More

I flew Sri Lankan Airlines’ Airbus A330-200 service from Colombo to Paris, in business class. I’m not a big fan of lie-flat beds (that’s fodder for another post), yet for a change, I slept decently well on the flight. Here’s a review of the flight.

Review: Chennai to Colombo on Sri Lankan A320 regional business class

Written by Miles and Even More @ Miles and Even More

I’m writing this from the Serendib lounge here in CMB (I’ve just arrived at Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport after an hour’s flight from Chennai), though this post will likely be published only much later. I expect this post will be a short one, considering the flight duration and the fact that I didn’t have much time for pictures (reasons below). Nonetheless, read on.

2 billion JP miles for an Award Ticket??? And some crazy math to boot!

Written by Miles and Even More @ Miles & Even More

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Vinay and I were thinking of trying out First Class on Jet Airways Mumbai to Amsterdam, once they change the configuration from the A330 they’re currently flying, to the B777 (the change is expected to take effect from 30 October 2016). So we were looking for award ticket availability, when we found this gem.

Would you believe the cost of the award ticket is…2.1 billion JP miles?

Review: Air India Dreamliner 787 Business Class Dubai to Delhi

Written by flyfromscratch @ Miles & Even More

India’s Flagship airline Air India has been in the news recently, for their upcoming Ahmedabad – London Heathrow – Newark flight, starting 15 August 2016 on their coveted Dreamliner Boeing 787’s. Flying a fifth freedom flight on one of the world’s most competitive routes, is a great way to be in the news for sure. So I thought this would be a good time to post my review of the business class product on Air India’s Dreamliner.

AI’s uses their Dreamliners on their most long haul routes like DEL-MEL-SYD, DEL-SIN, DEL-EWR and also on some domestic routes, which are more of a positioning flight. And a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to fly DEL-DXB on AI Dreamliner Business Class, which is the subject of this post.

Review: Etihad Business Class Lounge, Abu Dhabi

Written by Miles and Even More @ Miles & Even More

I visited the Etihad Airways Premium Lounge – accessible to passengers with lounge access who are unable to access the Etihad First Class Lounge & Spa – on my layover heading back to Chennai. I could’ve easily accessed the First Class lounge, but I haven’t reviewed this other lounge earlier (though I spent a fair bit of time here last year en route to London, but that was during my hiatus from blogging). So here, let’s take a peek at the Etihad Premium Lounge in Abu Dhabi.
