Airline comparison
I love to fly. Been on a number of airlines, from AA to Delta to United to Southwest to my current favorite, JetBlue. I’ve also taken British Airways, Lufthansa, and Alitalia, and think the first two are much better than the American ones. British Airways was elegant and seemed upscale, and Lufthansa was efficient (they conducted stretching exercises for the passengers in their seats and had on-board schedules of flights).
Reading the Ask the Pilot blog, I’ve started to notice the Middle Eastern airlines that try to outdo each other in opulence. Next time I fly, I want to be on Emirates, or something close. Look at this First class seat/bed, they even give you pajamas! Look at another picture, is that a big video screen and mini-bar? Etihad Airways has a 6-foot bed and 23-inch screen. Emirates’ Airbus A340 has its own private cubicles, and lavish looking dinners. Pretty neat, considering I heard its a 14 hour flight. Heck, they even change the lighting during the flight, like at sunrise. Compare this to the rest of the world; Japan Airlines’ first class seats are just not as cool. Heck, United’s business class looks lousy by comparison. Didn’t I hear that one of the Gulf airlines is going to have small private cabins with even showers?
