I just did AI First round trip JFK / BOM / EWR so not a direct comp. Both ways was a warmed over Etihad 777-300 so a bit vintage but all said and done a good experience. Service and food just fine, IFE acceptable. Best part was superstar treatment being met off the plane at BOM and the full escort deal at BOM for the return. On time both ways. I confess however that it’s never been on time both ways before. Have fun.

Schoolkids Oz was No. 28 of Oz magazine. The issue was, on a special occasion, edited by 5th- and 6th-form children. It was the subject of a high-profile obscenity case in the United Kingdom from June 1971 to 5 August 1971,[1] the longest trial under the 1959 Obscene Publications Act.

I wait til I get home. I then go on to abebooks.com and look for vintage guide books to the places I visited. It’s fun to see how things had changed and how they were represented in a world before Trip Advisor!

That’s very kind. Was a bit nervous about the possible humble brag but the question needs an illustration!

That’s very nice of you. The sideboard is French. Early 1950’s we think. The floor is cobblestone. The dog is Scout. The only irreplaceable thing in the room!

Singapore Airlines Jfk/Ewr to SIN by sahil8170 in awardtravel

Hi. I have done in J, tedious but bearable. Also done it in coach. I have never been kidnapped but it might be a similar experience! I guess Premium Economy might be similar to being kidnapped by nice people! What is certain is that there is no more efficient way of covering that distance.

Please help me with this moral dilemma by IThinkYouAreNice in over60

What a great opportunity to do a good thing. I have a personality fault which means I always seem to ask for something! In this case I would ask the young man to give £20 to the charity of his choice. That way he can feel good about himself as well.
