What if I told you that you could fly in business or first class without breaking the bank? This, my friends, is the beauty of miles and points. Let's use Qsuites (a Daily Drop favorite) as an example. Qsuites are simply the best business-class seats in the sky. To fly in Qsuites from North America to the Middle East, you would need to spend at least 70,000 Avios or American Airlines miles. While that's not a super bad price, you could fly these seats without using ALL of your points. For example, you could fly on one of Qatar’s shorter Qsuites routes from Doha to Mumbai for just 15,000 Alaska miles (thanks to their newly revamped award chart). But maybe you have suuuuper nice taste and want to fly Emirates first class? First of all, major respect. Second of all, here's how you might go about that: Emirates has a fifth-freedom flight between Bangkok and Hong Kong, and they fly it every single day with an Airbus A380 (the plane with the shower). Amazingly, you can book a round-trip ticket, directly with Emirates, on this route for less than $900 USD… in first-class… any day of the year. Impressed yet? Read more from today's newsletter about how to score these high-class seats for very few points (with some Virgin Atlantic strategies sprinkled in there, as well).

✨Cathay Pacific is revamping its fleet, starting with the Boeing 777. 🛫 🌟The new layout will feature 45 business class seats in two zones, 48 premium economy seats, and 268 in coach. Cathay plans to upgrade 30 of its 777 jets, with the Airbus Aircraft A330 and A350 fleets set for refurbishment from 2026 onward. 💯 The first upgraded 777 will fly from Hong Kong to Beijing on 18 Oct, allowing crews to familiarize themselves with the new setup. The refit process, running through 2027, will see the 777s deployed on long-haul routes such as New York, London, Sydney, and Dubai. 🌏 For Cathay, this overhaul is overdue—it’s been a decade since it last held the title of Skytrax’s top airline, a crown recently reclaimed by Qatar Airways from Singapore Airlines.🏆 #Travel #Aviation #Airlines #Business #Transformation #Innovation #Style l Bloomberg News l Danny Lee 李嘉洪

An Etihad Airways flight from Abu Dhabi to New York arrived at JFK Airport on Monday heralding the start of the airline’s A380 service. The A380 features The Residence, the three-room suite in the sky. Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, said: "We're thrilled to introduce our A380 experience to New York, confident that our guests will relish the exceptional onboard journey. Whether travelling in Economy, Business, First Class, or our luxurious three-room suite, The Residence, passengers can expect unparalleled service from our award-winning crew. “We want to ensure guests arrive in the Big Apple feeling refreshed and at ease. This commitment is crucial for all our travellers, not least our corporate clients who rely on us for business travel, and we have timed our A380 services, so customers arrive in New York or Abu Dhabi in time to make good use of the business day, or for their onward connections. “Introducing the A380 to the popular New York route aligns with our strategy to meet increasing customer demand and expand our network. It comes just three weeks after we launched our new route to Boston, our fourth US gateway, underlining our commitment to serving and growing the North American market.” https://lnkd.in/dbq-uJDy #airtransport #airlinesandairplanes #newyork #passengerexperience #aviationindustry

THE BEST AIRLINES OF THE WORLD All the best airlines serve long distance destinations. Short (up to three hours) flights usually function to connect one city to antihero and carry passenger to their intended locales as, there is insufficient time or need to pamper pasengers. Long flights require attention to detail, like pre-fligth lounges with lavish buffets and open bars, long and elaborate menus, are comfortable seats, first class passengers enjoy “beds” and privacy with TV sets, internet connection and more and flight attendants are attractive, elaborately clad than those on short flights. Here are best airlines ( 2023) according to frequent flyers: Nippon Airlines, Japan Singapore Airlines Quantas Airlines, Australia Emirates, United Arab Emirates Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong Qatar Airways, United Arab Emirates Eva Air, Thailand Etihad, United Arab Emirates 

Qatar Airways, Etihad, Icelandair, Saudia, all of these airlines have one thing in common : they allow passengers to do a stopover. This means they allow customers to break their trip between two connecting flights throughout the network by staying multiple days at the city where the airline is based. With one of the most comprehensive Europe to Africa network, and serving some of the paradise island of the overseas territories Air France drives a lot of traffic through their Paris Charles de Gaulle hub. Paris is one of the most visited cities on earth. But the national carrier of the country does not offer a stopover program? Why is that ? We do not have the answer, because most of us do not work in leadership. The country is about to witness one of the most important sports events this summer. This would be ideal. And if it works, why not keep it? Why not allow customers to visit one of the most historically significant cities in Europe, for a few days whilst travelling with AF. There are plenty of hotels to choose from with various price ranges, and I am convinced at least a handful will be willing to sign a partnership with the airline. Especially given an existing partnership already exist with the giant Accor. So if you are from Air France leadership and are reading this, consider this : you will drive more traffic because people want to visit France and it can be expensive, and you will help the local economy as well! So what are you waiting for? #parisstopover #airfrance #culture #tourism #airtravel #france #paris

The devil is in the detail. #Emirates The other day I flew with Emirates to Europe. All good, food & drinks comes in a line. One thing stood out; the safety demo. It got my attention. They started out with a say, how other airlines' "bikini,sailing,actors funny safety demo" was not seriously made! I beg your pardon! Emirates, to talk others down in order to find own sunlight. That person, who approved such a simple lowstyle act, should be taken back to school. Now flying with Air France. What a style, intellectful, elegant - off course - its french I could say. And this Savoir-faire level of superiority - touch of something more to life. As only the french can do it - maybe? Movies to be intertained by which is full of intellectful films. Some airlines has nearly only "horse-shit-gun" style movies. Emirates - you can learn from Air France and find your own elegance in the air. ...Because you are worth it as a world leader.
