Chile: The Patagonian fjords

This epic ferry ride spans 800 miles over four days, treating passengers to views of isolated estuaries and gulfs, massive ice fields and fjords slashed into the Andes. The boat even approaches the dramatic face of Pío XI or Brüggen Glacier, which, at 488sqm, is the largest glacier in South America. Toast your adventure with pisco sours made with iceberg ice that the crew collects from Pío XI.

Australia: Between Sydney and Manly

Within 30 minutes, the ferry breezes past Sydney’s blockbuster sights — the Sydney Opera House, Harbour “Coathanger” Bridge and downtown skyscrapers — and greener ones, too. You’ll see botanical gardens, tiny islands with Victorian homes and cottages, innumerable coves, little bays, hidden beaches and imposing brown sandstone cliffs topped with native gum trees. With a little luck, a bottlenose dolphin or southern right whale might pop up nearby. (Courtesy of Travelscape Images / Alamy)

Hong Kong: Between Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong

This short, sweet and cheap ferry ride transports you across Victoria Harbour from one shore of dazzling skyscrapers to another. Set out at dusk, when the office towers glow in multicoloured lights that rival the soft blues, pinks and purples of the sunset sky. Linger to admire the view from the rooftop Pier 7 Café and Bar at the Central Star Ferry Pier 7. (Courtesy of A. Howden - Hong Kong Stock Photography / Alamy)

British Columbia: Between Port Hardy and Prince RuFerries ply the Inside Passage from Port Hardy on the northern end of Vancouver Island passing rugged mountains, islands covered in coastal Douglas fir and Sitka spruce, quarter-mile-wide Grenville Channel and small First Nations’ communities such as Bella Bella. Along the 15-hour, 250-mile journey to Prince Rupert, passengers may see orcas, porpoises, black bears, bald eagles and the scenic Boat Bluff lighthouse on Sarah Island.

The Three Most Luxurious Airlines

2010-09-01T22:07:00.000-07:00

In America, first-class airline service has little more meaning than a perk for frequent travelers. Sure, the seats are a little more plush and the passenger may have more legroom, but beyond getting seated before other passengers are allowed on the plane a first class ticket in the American skies doesn’t deserve the ‘luxury’ term.

Singapore Airlines
The world’s most luxurious airlines hail from Asia and the Middle East. One of these, Singapore Airlines, is among the most trusted and admired brands in the airline business. Singapore has assimilated luxury in their first-class service along with the Singapore Girl as a definition to their airline brand. Called The Three Most Luxurious Airlines, there are only 12 on each plane. Luxury begins with checking in with a personal attendant available to help you the moment you step out of your car, or from the available limousine. The leather-upholstered, Burrwood-trimmed seats fully recline and come complete with a turn-down service with a down-filled mattress and duvet. Singapore Airlines also brings new definition to “airplane food” with their meals prepared by world-class chefs. Passengers can make their meal choices before the flight. Entertainment options abound for the lengthy flights the airline makes. First-class passengers enjoy a personal 23” LCD screen with on-demand movies (reportedly 1000 titles) and video games. Plus, the Dom Perignon and Krug flow freely here. Offering these services it’s no problem flying the two longest non-stop commercial flights from Singapore to Newark, New Jersey and Singapore to Los Angeles, California.

Cathay Pacific
Cathay Pacific is the next airline hailing from the Far East worth mentioning among the world’s ‘most luxurious’ airlines. Checking is made simple through a concierge-style service. While still in the airport, first class passengers can take advantage of The Wing, a lounge complete with reading rooms, a spa, and various cafes. Within the first-class cabin are 12 seats that come with his and her amenity kits, Acca Kappa Italian products within Wiss Victorinox travel bags for him and French Darphin products contained within Vietnamese Ipa-Nima carrying cases. The seat is easily extendable into a full-length bed with pillows and duvets and, with the privacy screen, the seat is transformed into a cozy bedroom. The bedroom experience is completed with the complimentary ‘sleepsuit.’ Entertainment options include a personal 10.4” television and noise-cancelling headphones with audio-video on demand.

Emirates Airlines
The Middle Eastern entry among the world’s most luxurious airlines is no also-ran among this elite class. Emirates, headquartered in Dubai, has made it a goal to make flying a wonderful experience. There’s no denying that with their new first class, fully-enclosed cabins that represent the epitome of luxury flight. Due to be unveiled in the next year, these cabins are reminiscent of sleeping cabins commonly found on passenger trains, Emirates is the first to bring this experience to the sky. The doors to the cabins can be opened and closed at will, and has a ‘do not disturb’ signal available. Throughout the cabin is fine wood and gold trim. Overhead storage bins are nonexistent here so taller passengers can freely move about, but don’t worry there is plenty of space to stow your carry-on. A full size bar is in the first class passenger area and a mini-bar is in the personal cabin. Press a button on your chair and it converts to a flat bed. Meals planned by five-star chefs and wines selected by the UK Masters of Wine Guild can be ordered at will with a click from the remote that operates as a command center for the cabin. The in-cabin entertainment options are extensive and there is even an in-cabin vanity for freshening up.

The Most Luxurious American airlines could learn a lot from the airlines of the Far East and Middle East. Perhaps it’s a different clientele or maybe (probably) it’s the typically longer flights; but these airlines have defined what it means to fly in luxury.

The sense of humour :: kulula airlines

2010-08-08T21:13:00.000-07:00

An Airline with a sense of humor

Kulula is a low-cost South African airline that doesn't take

itself too seriously.

Check out their new livery!

Kulula Humour

Kulula's airline attendants and pilots are known for injecting a sense of humour into situations:

"Please pay attention to the safety announcement, because you will be writing a test shortly".

"If you are caught smoking, you will be asked to leave the aircraft".

"You could be fined up to R7999 for smoking on the plane, and for these prices you could be flying SAA"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."

"Me Tarzan, You on hold", when phoning Kulula and being put on hold.

"To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull the belt tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one by now, then you probably shouldn't be allowed out in public unsupervised."

"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."

"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favourite."

"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."

As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

"Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have landed in Cape Town . Please take all your possessions. Anything left behind will be shared equally between staff. Please note we do not accept unwanted mothers-in-law or children."

"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

"Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"

"Welcome to Johannesburg, if this is not where you were intending to go then you have a bit of a problem."

"Anyone caught jumping on the bed at any Protea Hotel will be charged R2,50 per jump and will be billed when you check out." (part of a Kulula ad, advertising Protea Hotel rooms).

White-Glove Service

White-Glove Service

Fifty years ago, flying had a certain glamour: the luxurious seats, the doting (and beautiful) flight attendants, the gourmet meals... Today, most of the majesty of commercial air travel has been scrapped thanks to cutbacks and tight security. Miss the old days? LIFE looks back at what it used to mean to fly commercially. Pictured: In 1968, two Pan Am flight attendants embrace before their first transatlantic flight from New York to Moscow.

The World’s Most Luxurious Airlines

2009-12-03T20:14:00.000-08:00

The World’s Most Luxurious Airlines

Though most people are finding it tough financially, which means having to curtail extravagant living, there are plenty who have no problems getting their mitts on money. This means those who are used to living the high life can carry on regardless and indulge in their luxurious side. And on everyone’s luxury list is a well-earned break. But who to fly with?

Here we present some of the most luxurious airlines in the world and what they have to offer the discerning well-heeled traveler.

1. Virgin Atlantic

2. Emirates

Emirates have been a consistent contender in the luxury market over the last few years, with an attentive service and excellent reputation. They offer private cabins in first class, where the seat converts into a 2m long flat bed, and in-flight amenities include a 23 inch LCD flat screen and personal mini bar. Business class seats are very roomy, with deep reclining sleeper seats, and frequent flyers are able to customize their entertainment systems with their personal choices for use on future flights.

Other perks on offer: Laptop charging, SMS, phone and email are all available from your seat. First class passengers enjoy a seven-course meal prepared by top chefs and accompanied with a wide selection of fine wines.

3. Thai Airways

If you’re planning on flying to or through Bangkok any time soon be sure to leave a few hours in your travels to visit Thai Airways’ first class lounge at Bangkok’s new Suvarnabhumi Airport, which this year was awarded the World’s Best First Class Lounge by Skytrax. Offering a luxury spa, massage rooms, a fine dining area, deluxe seating areas and state-of-the-art visual entertainment rooms, a visit to the lounge is worth booking a luxury seat alone. On board, Thai’s first class and business class sections offer wide seats that convert to flat beds, an excellent in-flight entertainment system and an exquisite menu selection that is fast making Thai Airways known as ‘Restaurant in the Sky’.

Other perks on offer: First class passengers are able to pre-book their six-course meal prior to the flight. Complimentary Dom Perignon Champagne is available, as is a limo service.

4. British Airways

One of the granddaddies of luxury flying, British Airways has been around since just after World War I in one guise or another but their luxury offerings are far from old hat. Their cabins hold an understated luxury that’s synonymous with the British way of life and varies from plane to plane. On the Boeing 747 and 777 aircrafts there are ‘demi-cabins’ boasting seats that extend to an impressive feet and six inches in length. Passengers can enjoy dining at a time that suits them, and if you’re flying from London you can order a ‘Catch of the Day’ freshly caught that morning in Loch Fyne, Scotland.

Other perks on offer: Dine on the ground in one of BA’s elegant land lounges prior to boarding a night flight to maximise your sleep time in the air.

5. Singapore Airlines

There was much fanfare a few years ago when Singapore Airlines revealed their new first class suites on the A380. Replete with recliner seat and separate bed area, the cabins are, without doubt, the ultimate luxury in air travel. Although, their first class and business class seating areas are none too shabby, either. First class beds are made up with your own down-filled mattress, duvet, and pillow by air cabin staff, and in business class 30 inch-wide seats, which convert to a flat-bed, are in a 1-2-1 configuration so offer ample space ensuring you’ve got your own slice of luxury.

Other perks on offer: Snacks and drinks are available at a passenger area throughout the flight. Medium-haul business class seats offer all-in-one business panels. All seats have widescreen TV with extensive in-flight entertainment system.

6. Qantas

Nicknamed ‘The Flying Kangaroo’, Australia’s main airline is also the world’s second oldest, founded in 1920. Since then, their services have just got better and better, offering first, business and premium economy seats. Fully flat beds in first class are available on the Boeing 747–400 and Airbus A380 only, so if you’re going to book them you’d better be quick. Each pod has a 17 inch wide screen HD TV with a whopping 1,000 programs to choose from, so there’s no chance of being bored during the flight, either. And in business class on demand controls allow you to watch what you want, when you want. First class passengers are also treated to a unique dining experience, where all meals are freshly prepared on board and canapés are served before an appetising eight-course tasting menu. How indulgent!

Other perks on offer: As Qantas is part of the oneworld ® alliance, passengers are invited into any other participating oneworld ® airline lounge worldwide where a Qantas lounge is not available.
