I’ve been able to fly Etihad Business Class a couple of times now, so this post is the amalgamation of a few flights all on the same route between London Heathrow and Etihad’s hub Abu Dhabi. Right up front I’ll say that the Etihad Business Class experience is WAY above that of British Airways (the airline I fly with the most). They’ve removed it now, but at the time of…

I love The Good Food Guide. As explained by themselves, its been around since 1951: “The Good Food Guide was first compiled by Raymond Postgate in 1951. Appalled by the British post-war dining experience, Postgate formed The Good Food Club, recruiting an army of volunteers to inspect restaurants anonymously and report back.
