Travel Tips and Destination Guides

This is where everything that is not a cabin review or a hotel review ends up: the how-tos, the airport guides and the destination pieces. The most useful of them are the ones about getting a premium seat for less, which is the whole point of the site. There is a guide to finding cheap business class fares, a Google Flights tutorial rewritten for the 2026 interface with its AI deals tool and price guarantee, and a piece on identifying the exact seat you will be sitting in using AeroLOPA and AwardFares now that SeatGuru has fallen behind.

The rest is practical. Full airport guides to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and Singapore Changi, destination guides to Phuket and Kuala Lumpur, a business class seat guide covering the best hard products across Oneworld, and the gear we travel with. There are also two premium economy write-ups, Finnair’s cabin and Norwegian’s 787-8 from Los Angeles to Stockholm, for the trips where business class does not make sense. Everything here comes from flights and stays we paid for.

Frequently asked questions

How do you actually find cheap business class fares?

Three things do most of the work, and our guide walks through each. Watch the airline sale campaigns, since the biggest drops are scheduled rather than random. Start your ticket in another city, because an ex-EU fare from Dublin or Budapest can cost thousands less than the same routing from home. And learn Google Flights properly, which is where you spot both before anyone else does.

What replaced SeatGuru for checking business class seats?

AeroLOPA, with AwardFares alongside it for availability. SeatGuru is no longer maintained to a useful standard, and our 2026 guide covers what to use instead and how to tell which seat you will actually get, including Finnair's completed AirLounge rollout and the British Airways A380 refits.

Which destination guides do you have?

Phuket and Kuala Lumpur on the destination side, both written from our own trips: ten things worth doing in Phuket, updated for 2026, and six in Kuala Lumpur, including the Bukit Tabur sunrise hike. On the airport side there are full guides to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and Singapore Changi, which are the two we pass through most.
