Business Class is for many frequent flyers the ideal combination of comfort and value, particularly on long-haul routes but also on selected European services. This page brings together all Business Class trip reports from miles-around: personal accounts that cover the entire Business Class experience – from priority check-in and lounge access to seat comfort, lie-flat beds, catering and in-flight entertainment. Airlines tested so far include Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Air Canada, Lufthansa, SWISS and Aegean Airlines across short-, medium- and long-haul routes on aircraft ranging from the Airbus A319 to the Boeing 787-9. The reports are aimed at frequent flyers and comfort-conscious travellers who want to plan their Business Class flights with confidence – whether through miles redemption, an upgrade or a regular booking.

In July 2016, I was lucky enough to be on the maiden flight of Singapore Airlines' Airbus A350-900 from Düsseldorf. I have already written a detailed article about this. In this review, I would like to tell you what the return flight in the Singapore Airlines Business Class Airbus A350-900 from Singapore to Düsseldorf was like. There is also a brief insight into the First and Business Class SilverKris Lounge at Singapore Airport.
Once you have frequent flyer status, you want to defend it every year. I have had Star Alliance Gold status with the Greek airline Aegean Airlines for almost five years now. As we hardly travelled by plane this year due to the birth of our son in January, we had to do a mileage run to extend our status.
At 06:10 on 22 July 2016, the Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900 landed in the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital for the first time and was traditionally greeted with a water fountain. From now on, the renowned five-star airline will be connecting Düsseldorf Airport with its hub in Singapore three times a week non-stop. I was lucky enough to be on the inaugural Singapore Airlines Business Class flight in the Airbus A350-900 from Düsseldorf.
During our online check-in for our return flight with British Airways to Oslo, I was briefly confused by the seating arrangement. Two seats, a single seat, and then two seats again. That looks like business class à la Swiss, doesn't it?! A "real" business class on a European flight? I guess I'm lucky enough to be flying British Airways long-haul business class on the Airbus A321.
It's back to Oslo again! In American Airlines Business Class in the Boeing 777-300ER, we first fly to London Heathrow. From Jamaica Station, the JFK Airport Train takes us to Terminal 8, where American Airlines, Air Berlin and LATAM also depart.
