Review: Singapore Airlines 777 First Class (CGK-SIN)
Singapore Airlines flight details To kick off my Indian Subcontinent Extraordinaire, I flew Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 777-300ER First Class from Jakarta to Singapore. Despite being a short sub-two-hour flight, the airline exclusively offers its long-haul product between the two cities. Naturally, this extends to the airline’s First Class product – only offered on the Boeing…

Review: Batik Air A320 Business Class (HLP-DPS)
Batik Air flight details Batik Air is the premium subsidiary of the Indonesian low-cost carrier, Lion Air. Despite the downgrading changes in recent years, the airline still maintains the makings of most Asian full-service carriers; this includes frills like complimentary refreshments, inflight entertainment, and baggage allowance.

Review: Cathay Pacific A330 Business Class (HKG-CGK)
Cathay Pacific flight details After spending four days in Hong Kong, I flew back to Jakarta on Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A330-300 Business Class again. Although the airline used to regularly roster its Boeing 777s and A350s on this route, this hasn’t been the case in a while. As such, because the flight features the same product as…

Review: Cathay Pacific A330 Business Class (CGK-HKG)
Cathay Pacific flight details To kick off my Emerald Farewell trip, I flew Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A330-300 Business Class, a product I know all too well. Being the backbone of the Hong Kong flag carrier’s fleet, the Airbus A330-300 gets rostered on most regional and Middle Eastern routes. I’ve even reviewed the aircraft’s Economy Class product on…
