Amazing trip report, I enjoyed reading about so many stunning first class products. I think you made a good point with the epilogue: flying is not a destination, it would be crazy to round the world for the sole purpose of airports, lounges and first classes.

^ This must be a great route for that. I put my sister on this route with some UA miles this past summer and she was the only passenger too!
Thanks again for the TR, and photos. Count mine as a "yes" vote for more FlyerBeek TR's.

I loved your TR. Im a long time FT member but infrequent poster as I feel inadequate (!) , but wanted to recognise your trip, and writing. Just fantastic. I was interested in the standard of the far eastern airlines and made me think there just might be life beyond BA. Loved it. Thank you for taking the time.

Fantastic report which really makes me want to jump on each of these great airlines, especially TG and OZ which I have yet to sample in F. I've still never been lucky enough to be alone in F on an intercontinental flight before and am envious of that kind of service!

Loved the TR and the many , clear pictures + narrative ... hope you can spare time to write up some more TR of your 300 000 miles/year as this TR gave a very nice insight into the F world flights I can only dream of .
J is the most we can hope for on frequent basis as most of our flights are inside Europe on LH/LX and SN where it became near impossible to accumulate enough miles for anything but a few upgrades TATL per year

I will definitely write some more trip reports on future flights/trips that might be of interest to the community.
