You know, I couldn’t imagine telling Eastern Airlines or TWA pilots that glorified regional jets would one day connect the Caribbean and NYC… still the most comfortable way to do it outside of mint!

Enjoy!

The Luxair Review:

I will give a small airline credit where it’s due any day of the week and Luxair (LG) takes the cake for a small European airline.

LG is an airline serving a very high net-worth country in Europe so the service and quality of product is light years ahead of intra-European Business class of legacy carriers.

The fleet ranges from the most populous being the Q400, to the largest and fewest which is the 737-MAX 8 which services the longest routes LG flys (DXB and the islands off of West Africa).

This very small fleet serves 100+ destinations in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

The highlight of the experience was the airport in Luxembourg, genuinely one of the most ergonomic, well laid out, and easy to use airports in all of Europe.

My experience consisted of London-City to LUX and LUX to Paris-CDG. Both flights were great with incredible service for the durations of each flight.

All in all, Luxair gives an incredible product for what it is compared to its other European counterparts and will gladly use them again if I go back to Luxembourg!
