Helvetic Airways (Swiss) Flight 1101 Munich – Zurich – Review
Munich Airport (Flughafen München), located roughly 30 km (18 miles) northeast of the city, is one of the most modern and efficient airports in Europe. Since it’s opening in 1992, it’s become the second busiest airport in Germany after Frankfurt and the seventh busiest in Europe.

Gateway Special Services Airport Meet and Greet Service- Review
It was bound to happen. I left my house with plenty of time to spare, even allowing for traffic. My car’s navigation system had other ideas. With a departure time for my Continental flight to Japan of 10:45 a.m., the navi was predicting arrival at Newark’s Terminal A at 11:15.
Undeterred, I stared out at the traffic. Fortunately, the closer I got, the better the estimated time of arrival looked. It …
Delta Shuttle First Class New York LGA Washington DCA – Review
The Marine Air Terminal at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport is the only air terminal in operation that dates back to the days of the flying boat, seaplanes that were the mainstay of aviation in the late Thirties and early Forties.
The terminal itself eventually fell into disrepair and was renovated twice, first in the Sixties to be used for private aviation and then in anticipation of the 1985 launch of …

Continental BusinessFirst New York EWR Tokyo Flight 79 – Review
Newark Liberty International Airport is the New York area’s busiest in terms of flights and it is a major hub for United-Continental. It’s also the airport the furthest distance from my residence.
There is nothing like leaving home with plenty of time to catch a flight, and watching your car’s navigation system predict your arrival to be 15 minutes after your flight will have departed.
Luckily, I had arranged for Gateway Special …
Air France 7184 Brussels-Midi-Zuid to Paris Charles de Gaulle SNCF French Rail TGV Review
When I booked the leg of my trip that would take me from Brussels to Paris so I could fly home on board Air France’s Airbus A380 to New York’s JFK airport, my Air France “flight” never left the ground. Rather, it is an Air France code share with SNCF French Rail, which operates the TGV.
The TGV, Train à Grand Vitesse in French or high-speed train, capable of going as …
Munich Airport VIP Wing – Review
Air travel – and airports – once were indeed glamorous, but today, long security lines, crowded airline lounges, and indifferent staff make that image seem like another world.
It is possible, however, to recapture some of that glamour – for a small fee. Airports in cities from London (Heathrow) to Singapore (Changi) to Munich offer a very different arrival and/or departure experience for those willing to foot the bill.
