Delta One Business Class Review [A330, PEK to SEA]
Updated 5 years ago by Dan

Hands down Delta’s second best business class product, after the flagship suites. Hopping between Asia and the US, you’d think I wouldn’t hesitate to throw some points down for a tier 1 airline like Singapore’s A380 business class, ANA, JAL, Cathay, or even Korean, but sometimes you just don’t have the luxury of time (or… continue reading

Good-enough refresh of dated jets As a continuation of my previous Delta 767-300 business class review, this short hop on an MD-88 took me from ATL to MIA in comfort, though I’m not sure about the style. Since this was the second leg of first class award ticket I booked, I credit my butt being… continue reading
