Anyone read the Trip Reports in Business Traveller Magazine?
Business Traveler is one of my favorite mags when it comes to what is going on in the airline world. I find their trip reports fantastic (there are usually 1-2 per issue). Most involve internation J class, but there are Y and F as well.
I subscribe to both the US and the UK editions, the UK being much more comprehensive. While there is some overlap, they target two different audiences.
Wouldn't it be great to be a reporter for the magazine, trying all these flights?!

Websites:
UK: http://www.businesstraveller.com/ -- click on "Tried and Tested"
US: http://btonline.com/
The UK version is excellent, but the US version sucks. Same is true for the magazines IMHO.
I don't know if there is an online version of the Asia-Pacific edition.

Hey guys, thank you! I just checked both online versions of BT into my fav. places.
I have wondered if the UK version was different from the US version? they look about the same and seem to just change the articles around.
Also, if you do find the Asia-Pacific edition online, that would also be greatly appreciated.
Are there any other editions? such as Africa? thanks.

I've read these for many years (U.K. edition is the only one available here in France).
The Trip Reports have always been my favorite articles. Then I joined FlyerTalk and found this forum. I agree that the reports here are often much more interesting!

Great thread, and thanks for the links. I also enjoy the magazine. I used to read the AP edition a lot whils I was in SE Asia.

I use to subscribe to Business Traveler and I really enjoyed reading the trip reports.
However, I recently let my subscription lapse as I found that for the cost the articles and information could usually already be found here on FT or some other web site for free!
