Domestic air travel may remain a universal whipping boy, but credit is due: All these international carriers were unfailingly courteous and helpful.
Finnair lost a bag between Paris and Helsinki but recovered nicely with to-the-door delivery later the same day.
Emirates' in flight magazine, Open Skies, was by far the best. It’s twice been voted the world's best by readers of Executive Travel Magazine.
Ethiopian has a thing for hot towels. Every flight, no matter what. Usually twice.
Oman Aviation gamely fit a meal service into a 45 minute segment.
Perhaps it helped to fly business in one of Delta’s ten still shiny new 777’s, though. And in passing, Airfleets.net, where I learned Delta has ten 777’s, is a nifty tool.
