The 5-8 part TRs are usually 6 on the planes, 1 on the hotel, and 1 on the place.
My take is that pics of the plane and hotel are nice, but they don't deserve their own post and are covered just fine in 1 TR.


dont forget the one in the lounge

My general feeling is that it's good to have different bloggers writing in different ways. To each their own. Different people enjoy different things.

For instance, the report he was gushing over how he was called Mr. soandso by the flight attendant, able to take a shower on the plane, lie down in a bed and get free alchohol in a little isolated area - that stuff is only exciting because it's on an airplane. If he was talking about the same thing in his apartment, it would get no attention (obviously). I just don't get why doing these things on an airplane is considered such a luxury. I would honestly be more happy with a couple of screwdrivers and a book in a regular seat talking with all of the "regular people".

Then I take it you've never flown F internationally on a non-US carrier.

So let me get this straight --

His trip reports are, in your opinion, an "absolute snorefest" among other glorious platitudes, yet you still not only read them, but read the comments to them with enough concentration and effort know what certain commentators say?

I'll mention nothing of the fact that you seem to be admitting that the best part of his TRs are the certain comments which are nothing but disgusting, hate-filled venom.

He's stated as much:

I hear your point as well. I would probably enjoy one of those flights- def not happening any time soon :)

never flown F on US carrier either. Most of my travel is for business where F is not the norm.

It's not a little isolated area, it's a full fledged bar with a $10,000+ entry price and people have plenty of extra time so yes it's a good place to be.

I recall reading the comments once over by Gary, and there were some personal attacks against him for being whiny, spoiled, etc.
Not cool at all.
