The First Class/Business Class Cathay Pacific Lounge at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. An Oasis of Calm During the Chinese New Year Exodus - Bangkok, Thailand - February 2019

1/2/2019

It was pandemonium in Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok the Friday before Chinese New Year 2019. However, the Cathay Pacific First Class/Business Class Lounge was an oasis of sophisticated calm.

The dim sum, phad thai etc from their Noddle Bar made me remember why I like flying with Cathay Pacific. I once undertook a 16 hour flight with them from Hong Kong to Toronto, before returning home to Bermuda!

A '7 teddies' (🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻) 50th birthday year continues.

Business Class Flights to Taipei with Eva Air that Felt Like First Class - Taiwan - November 2018

The Eva Air Business Class seats reminded me of British Airways First Class.

Taiwanese people are some of the most avid readers of #travelblog www.sifrew.com.

I only became aware of Eva Air recently but, as soon as I booked Mandarin Oriental Taipei, I knew I had to fly with this Taiwan airline that partners with Hello Kitty.

A '6 teddy', 'First Class', friendly experience I will never forget.

An Awesome End to an Unforgettable 18 Months in Cayman Islands - September 2018

My last day in Cayman Islands started with Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman serving this Brand Ambassador Veuve Clicquot champagne & truffles at breakfast.

I have too many people to thank for my 18 unforgettable months in Cayman Islands. My parents, & so many special friends, for visiting me, and there are too many incredible people in Cayman Islands I hope I never lose contact with.

There are a few photos below from my last two days in Cayman Islands but they do not do it any justice!

The New First Class Suites on American Airlines, Heathrow to Miami Flight on a 777-300 - Great Seat/Bed & Crew But Shame About The Food - December 2017

Seat 1A in First Class had ample space for my 'www.sifrew.com gang from London' and me. Note my Four Seasons New York Downtown baseball cap.

Having flown on British Airways and Qatar Airways in First Class numerous times, and in 'The Apartments' on Etihad Airways, I decided I must try the American Airlines new First Class suites. My 15 hour journeys from Cayman Islands, at Christmas, seemed the perfect opportunity to do this.

I was impressed by the seat/bed, and crew, but once again the American Airlines First Class food let them down. Hence my '4 teddy' rating.

The Sensational New American Airlines Flagship First Dining, Terminal 3 @ Miami International Airport, Florida, USA - December 2017

Luis making me a perfect very dry Grey Goose martini. He was such a ray of sunshine to deal with that I gave Four Seasons: The Surf Club in Miami his details the next day.

After delays with my American Airlines plane from Cayman Islands, which culminated with an email warning me that I may miss my connection flight taking me to Christmas in the UK, the American Airlines Flagship First Dining experience was a much needed oasis of pampered luxury.

This First Class dining experience was superior to British Airways' Concorde Room dining and would be difficult to improve on. A 'seven teddy' experience, without doubt.

I am a huge fan of British Airways and was excited that my New Year trip to New York would mean I would get to use the First Class lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 again.

Having got up at 6:15am, I was really looking forward to their cooked breakfast.

First Class Compartment on Special Express Train with Thailand Railways from Chiang Mai to Bangkok - 13 hours - October 2015

Chiang Mai station is light and airy with a tropical feel. There were places to have hot food but I just got a cold water.

At 4:30pm my 5pm train was already waiting. Staff treated me with reverence when I showed them my First Class/VIP ticket and we left precisely on time...

My First Class/VIP train ticket.
