Welcome to my next trip report series, which will recount my recent, very brief trip to Germany to pick up my kids from their summer holiday with Oma and Opa. This report will include flights on the new AA 787-9 Flagship Business Class product, a regional flight on SAS, and a longhaul SAS A330-300 flight from Copenhagen to San Francisco.
On the way out, I could have flown British Airways First Class from Los Angeles to London, then connected to Basel in business class for 85,000 AA miles and about $759 in taxes, but I instead chose to fly business class on AA from Los Angeles – Chicago – London before connecting on the same BA flight to Basel. Why would I possibly do that?
Because AA has a brand new business class product on the 787-9 that I wanted to try…plus, the taxes and fees were less than $40…it just made sense for this particular trip, though I will try British Airways First Class out in the future (it has been many years).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
