The World According to Pat

I used a United reward for a free ticket from Moscow DME to LAX with an overnight in Vienna. This review is of the VIE to IAD portion in Business Class on a 767-300.

I recently flew from Bangkok to Moscow Domodedovo on Qatar Airways through Doha. I was a little apprehensive about flying Qatar because they were only flying an A320 between Doha and Moscow DME. Plus, from what little information I could find on this route or aircraft prior to me purchasing my tickets, said the seats in Business Class on the A320 was not up to their long-haul standards. But, I have heard so many great things about Qatar Airways and their membership in One World (and being able to collect American AAdvantage miles) helped me decided to fly Qatar. As luck would have it, my flight had their new Business Class product and I was very happy with my choice to fly Qatar. For a full review of Qatar Airway's new A320 Business Class please visit; http://patstravelreviews.com/qatar-airways-a320-business-class-review-doha-to-moscow-dme/

This post is actually a follow up from one I wrote two years ago on how it seemed to be getting harder to receive a complimentary premier upgrade (CPU) on United. I have wanted to readdress this topic since last year as getting upgraded in 2013 seemed to be the way it was prior to the Continental/United merger. However, since the first of the year things seem to be back the way they were in 2012.

There are actually two Aeroexpress trains in Moscow (may be third to VKO). This review is for the Domodedovo to Paveletsky (also Paveletskaya) Station. Most of the information also applies to the Aeroexpress service from Sheremetyevo (SVO) Airport to Belaruskaya Station.

Recently (well December) I was finally was able to fly on Lufthansa's Boeing 747-800 from LAX to FRA in Business Class. It is hard to believe that the 747-8 has been in service for over a year and a half.
