Flydubai is to Emirates like a younger, less favored sibling. A low-cost airline with a singletype fleet consisting of only Boeing 737s, next to a big brother, with an enormous fleet that consists of exclusively Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s. This negative connotation cannot be further from the truth. In…
Last week, I wrote an article on my experience with Lufthansa CityLine as part of my exploration into how Lufthansa Regional brands compare with mainline Lufthansa. While CityLine is well-integrated into the Lufthansa fleet, there is another Lufthansa Regional carrier that is more unique, and it’s an airline that many…
I’ve spent a lot of my time flying between the United States and Germany over the past year.
