Turkish Airlines created a new business-class suite, Crystal Business Class, set to become available on transcontinental flights. These suites will be installed on the airline’s Airbus A350s on order, as well as retrofitted on its Boeing 777 aircraft.

The suites will feature real marble side tables and locally sourced leather, as well as the airline’s first adjustable doors. Suites also include an expanded footwell and unrestricted views from window seats. Seats are in a 1-2-1 configuration, with each equipped with a 22-inch personal entertainment screen.

Seats also boast a wireless charging pad, universal and USB-C charging ports, an adjustable mirror, and a noise-canceling audio jack. The new suites in the Boeing 777s means the middle seat will be removed to fit the new 1-2-1 arrangement. Seats are 23 inches wide.

Turkish Airlines also announced plans to provide free and fast WiFi to all passengers (not just business class and other loyalty member program members) by 2025.

Escape to Tahiti for a Captivating Island-Hopping Cruise

The 118 islands of French Polynesia reveal themselves layer by fascinating layer, with the spirit of mana (vital force) linking them all the way from Tahiti to the remote reaches of the Marquesas. This is part of the world best savored on a journey that dives as deep into culture as natural beauty, both above and below the water’s surface. A cruise makes it easy to cover a lot of ground while unpacking just once (and sneaking in some work done in comfort, too, during at-sea days). And cruising offers particular appeal within this semi-autonomous French territory sprawling across nearly 2 million square miles of ocean and covering five archipelagos.

The Shelbourne Review

Facing the vast St. Stephen’s Green in the heart of Dublin sits the iconic and historic The Shelbourne. Few hotels master the perfect blend of history and luxury, but The Shelbourne gets it right. The site of the signing of the Irish Constitution in 1922 granting the Republic of Ireland its freedom from England, The Shelbourne has hosted its fair share of notable figures, from Michael Collins to Princess Grace Kelly to John Ford, the latter of which was the name of my suite.
