I am generally a fan of A380s on the upper deck. It is about as close as we will get for the moment to the upper deck of a B747 which is one of my favourite ways to fly. Add that to Qatar’s great onboard bar and a fantastic ticket…
This is a review of my stay at the Corinthia Hotel London in November 2017. I have written about the Corinthia Hotel London many times on TLFL as it is one of my favourite hotels in London. This time I will be doing a more in-depth review of my stay as well…
When I booked my flights to Ho Chi Minh City I was annoyed to see that Qatar had an A330 on the route from Doha which had pretty mixed reviews of the seats. One of the things to be wary with when booking Qatar is the variety of aircraft types…

Yesterday I looked at our top flights for 2017 and today I will look at the best hotels we have stayed in over the year. In no particular order they are: Conrad Algarve I visited this hotel for the first time in February and enjoyed it so much I went…
On Thursday I reviewed the new Club World service outbound from Heathrow to New York JFK. I also came back from JFK to Heathrow a few days later overnight on a refurbished B747. This was the first time I had seen the new service on a night flight so I thought…
