I'm back in the air with a business class product Turkish Airlines never talks about. You won't find any mention of these A350 business suites on their website and you have to dig around in the aviation press (or on YouTube!) to find out the details of this very unusual and very luxurious closing door suite. It's my first time passing through Istanbul since 2019 when the airport opened so this was a fun trip to do - and boy, is that airport BIG!

This is the second and most epic part of my mammoth four-night excursion on VIA Rail's outstanding Canadian train, VIA Rail no.1. Toronto to Vancouver is one heck of a ride, so this second part deals with the last 2000km from Winnipeg to Vancouver. We pass through Saskatchewan and Alberta, on to Jasper, the Rocky Mountains, Mount Robson, Pyramid Falls, Kamloops and finally Vancouver! Enjoy the video!

Here you go - here's Part 1 of 2 of my epic, FOUR DAY trip from Toronto to Vancouver on VIA Rail's Train 1, the Canadian. This is one of the world's greatest train journeys and is an essential bucket list item for any self-respecting rail enthusiast. Who knows how long the original Budd 1955 rail streamliner cars will continue in service? I am absolutely delighted I got to experience a train so classic it was listed as a historic experience back in my 1980s rail annuals I read as a young boy. There is SO MUCH MORE to come in Part 2, including the unbelievably perfect Rocky Mountain scenery as well as more details about the logistics of travelling on The Canadian.
The pandemic taught me to do things while you can - just like all the British Airways 747s disappearing overnight, the Canadian now - as of 2023 - has killjoy buffer cars behind its iconic bullet lounge. Boy, am I glad to have done this in the summer of '22 - memories to last a lifetime!

Air France is an airline which certainly has its critics. Maybe...they're a bit stuffy. Maybe...their service is a bit formal. However, sometimes sticking to tradition has its upsides - Air France produced a superb experience on this flight to Washington DC.

***DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!***The airline you forgot about: Royal Jordanian BUSINESS CLASS review!Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas2022-07-24 | Royal Jordanian is a small airline with only 24 aircraft, but it punches well above its weight. As a member of the OneWorld alliance, this airline can be really useful if you want to rack up the tier points in the British Airways Executive Club to qualify or retain status. So, when the opportunity came up to take a really cheap flight back from Dubai to London via Amman, I jumped at the chance! I loved it! (Please note, RJ has no wifi, something which I just realised I forgot to note in the conclusions to this video!)

Qatar Airways' business class is the best in the world, right? I mean, if you're not getting their QSuite - the "World's Best Business Class" (my upcoming ANA review may throw some shade there!), you'll be in a reverse herringbone solo seat, one of the best in the sky. Some of those even have doors now! But Qatar has a fleet it doesn't talk about. Nowhere on their website can you find pictures of their A330 business class, a forgotten, somewhat embarrassing 2-2-2 configuration this airline just does not want to advertise it has! I had a flight on this recently, so let's check out the world's best airline's...."worst" business class.

***DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!***14 HOURS in Deluxe Nightjet Sleeper train: Amsterdam to ViennaWingin’ It! Paul Lucas2022-06-21 | Nightjet's Amsterdam to Vienna service is one of the newest revivals of sleeper train routes in Europe! In the era of "flygskam", or flight shaming, can its deluxe sleeper really provide good value when crossing Europe? I check out my favourite sleeper train operator in this video again: Nightjet is a wonderful service and I hope you'll be a sleeper train convert too!
You can book tickets like I did at https://www.oebb.at/en/ or at NS International: nsinternational.com/en (both English language pages)
This year I'll be taking more of the world's finest and most spectacular trains. VIA Rail's four-day epic "The Canadian", the Hiram Bingham up to Macchu Picchu in Peru, the glorious El Chepe in Mexico, Amtrak's Southwest Chief and MORE will all come to your screens in 2022.

Now there's nothing wrong with budget airlines. I should know; I weaned myself onto flying solo with Ryanair! What irks me is when a budget airline is a sub brand of a full service airline, which decided to pull its full service from the route, substitute it with the cheap nasty budget carrier, and kept the fares the same. This is not a good product, and that's even after I lucked out by taking the (unusual) A330 on this route, normally reserved for longer trips. Weird food, a big delay, tired, broken seats and cabin, rubbish IFE...yeah, I'd avoid this if I were you, especially as they run this exact aircraft and meal concept to far flung destinations like Windhoek and Mauritius! :-)

United Polaris was AMAZING - such a different airline to my first viral video slating their Premium Service product. And that's great. United were so close to getting full marks on this review so it was so FRUSTRATING to see the tail end of deep cost-cutting and product laziness in the food. This was the worst business class food I've had across the Atlantic for some time and definitely below what their competitors were offering. So while the rest of the experience (including their good management of a delay) was superb....sorry but you can't have a 10 on this one guys! Good news though, the food is being fixed as a priority and I was very impressed with everything else. The Polaris Lounge is great at SFO, super crew, good delay management, a fine seat, excellent bedding, cracking IFE and speedy WiFi mean there isn't much more to ask of the airline...other than to hurry up and fix the darned food. ;-D

I got a tip off an upgraded A330 was flying the London - Helsinki route and so naturally I just had to check it out.

Merch store: teespring.com/stores/wingin-it-3THE CALIFORNIA ZEPHYR: America’s Greatest Train! Chicago - San FranciscoWingin’ It! Paul Lucas2021-12-26 | Amtrak's California Zephyr from Chicago to Emeryville (for San Francisco) is the greatest train trip you can take in the United States. I was lucky to take this wonderful journey for the third time - this time, in beautiful autumn. Check out my Europe by Train Bright Trip guide: brighttrip.com/europebytrain
It is the most scenic and culturally important of all Amtrak's rail trips, and the longest daily Amtrak train. 2,438 miles and three days of the best America has to offer - come for the rolling farmland, a stop in Denver, stunning Rockies, Glenwood Springs, Sierra Nevadas, and through wine country towards the California coast. I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making it!
Next year I'll be taking more of the world's finest and most spectacular trains. VIA Rail's four-day epic "The Canadian", the Hiram Bingham up to Macchu Picchu in Peru, the glorious El Chepe in Mexico, Amtrak's Southwest Chief and even the iconic Blue Train will all come to your screens in 2022.
