Shakshuka Search in Mexico City

Singapore Airlines SQ948 A333 Business Class Flight Review: Singapore to Denpasar SIN to DPS
This flight was on the Singapore Airlines Airbus A330-300 (A333) with 172 degree reclining seats. There is an audio port deep DEEP in the bottom/storage area of the seat, which is quite a nightmare to try to get the headphones…
Thai Airways TG102 773 Business Class Flight Review: Bangkok to Chiang Mai BKK to CNX
This is about an hour flight, so pretty short. Very nicely Thai configured 77W though with lie flat seats. Would have preferred these for the much longer leg I just did prior from MNL to BKK. A simple egg breakfast…
Thai Airways TG625 773 Business Class Flight Review: Manila to Bangkok MNL to BKK

Japan Airlines JL745 76W Business Class Flight Review: Tokyo to Manila NRT to MNL
The Japan Airlines lounge was pretty nice. Initially almost nobody was in there, although it got much busier later. Food was aight for for munching on, although these days, I think that flagship domestic AA lounge is much nicer. Good…
Thai Airways TG407 773 Business Class Flight Review: Bangkok to Singapore BKK to SIN
These are the staggered seats on the 77W configuration of Thai Airways; 180 degree lie flats. I had the salmon, which was pretty tasty. The seat was nice and comfortable, I generally choose windows; in the stagger configuration you can…
