C'mon now, lets not go and ruin a good trip report. I just want to see all the pretty pictures and live vicariously through SFO777!
Just a side note, if you've browsed through the TR forum, you'd appreciate the work that SFO777 puts into his reports for folks like me to enjoy. Many TRs either go unfinished or suffer from subpar photography. SFO777s TRs are neither. I also appreciate the candid assessment of the various products that I someday hope to try. Because I am limited on time and money, and to a lesser extent miles, I may only have a chance to sample one F cabin every few years. I really like how these TRs help me make an informed decision on where to spend my miles. In fact, I recently booked a LAX-HKG-SYD-MEL-LAX anniversary trip for me and my wife, having been inspired by a previous SFO777 TR, and am looking to take a trip to the Maldives on Etihad from LAX after the service begins.
I don't know about "oleaginous praise," but at least all the praise coming from this FT member is warranted and genuine.
