This is the most ridiculously easy international flight you can take
Fiji Airways partners with local hotels for a “resort check-in” program, so I only have to arrive at the airport an hour before my flight.

Qantas’ new route to Pacific paradise a winner (but Jetstar pulls out)
Despite the four-hour time lag, with a restful sleep on this overnight flight you can hit the beach running.

Seats don’t recline, fee for carry-on. I should have flown full-service
With the additional fees, this budget airline’s flight turned out to be more expensive than flying with its full-service rival.

Could this be the new world’s best business class? A resounding yes
Standing ovation, gold medal – this cloud-like flat bed with quilted topper and fluffy 400-thread-count duvet is a sky cocoon.

Despite decent service, this airline’s seats are just too small
The rebellion against ever-shrinking seats on planes can’t come soon enough.

‘Business class’ for half the price of others, but no lie-flat seat
It may not let you lie down, but it’s as good – if not better – than other airlines’ premium economy offerings.

This long-haul economy class actually feels luxurious (well, almost)
Regularly named the world’s best airline, this carrier offers a top service that helps ease the pain of a long flight – even when seated next to a manspreader.

Downgrade me, please: I flew all the way to Europe on a budget airline
You can fly to Europe for just over $1000 return, though I opted to upgrade – and the two legs were vastly different.

This economy class feels unusually spacious (unless I’m imagining it)
I’m a poor sleeper in the air but on this overnight flight I manage hours, not mere minutes, of sleep.
