I've wanted to fly Swiss Business Class for a while. It just looks really nice. The 6'6" beds nearly all have direct aisle access, and the food and lounges look nice.

Swiss flies to Zurich from eight North American cities and from Zurich throughout the rest of Europe.

Update: This fantastic deal ends in five days on February 28!

United is releasing economy and Business Class award space on its 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliners from Asia and Australia, not so much to.

United has posted a statement saying that it will not honor the mistake fares I posted about this morning that allowed one way or roundtrip First Class bookings from the United Kingdom to the United States for $100 or so. Here is the entire statement:
United is voiding the bookings of several thousand individuals who were attempting to take advantage of an error a third-party software provider made when it applied an incorrect currency exchange rate, despite United having properly filed its fares.

Asiana Airlines is a member of Star Alliance--United's alliance--based in Seoul, South Korea. I flew Asiana First Class on its A380 last year and was very impressed.

Since Asiana is a member of Star Alliance, all the award space it releases is bookable with United miles. Until recently the award space showed up on searches of united.com also. For whatever reason, Asiana award space no longer displays on united.com.

A generous reader is donating two United Club passes that expire 2/28/15, about 2.5 weeks from now, to one lucky winner. If you can use the passes between the 15th and 28th of this month (to account for the delay in sending them), comment on this post with how you'll use the passes.

United has lounges all over the world. The clubs are a pleasant place to relax in a comfortable chair, use free wifi, and enjoy free snack and drinks. Here are the amenities.

United.com is offering cheaper prices for partner Business Class award award bookings than what United's chart says the price is. This sale is unannounced and could end at any time.

In February 2014, United went to two charts: a cheaper one for flights on United and a more expensive one for partner flights--way more expensive in Business and First Class.

Last month, there were unannounced sales in partner Business Class to Europe, the Middle East, and India. These sales were restricted to off peak times though--January, February, and March.

Thai Airways First Class on its 747 operates daily between Bangkok and Sydney.

ANA's "First Square" is one of the nicest First Classes in the world.

The fully enclosed suite featured on ANA's 777-300ERs is a top of the line hard product, including a fully flat bed.

In addition, it comes with--from the reports I've read--typical, excellent service you would expect from a top Asian airline and fancy touches like caviar.

ANA has announced schedule changes that put the 777-300ER on new routes this year.
