24 Hours in Athens: Barely Scratching the Surface
With so much history and so little time, I settle for an overview of much of what Athens offers. Spread around the Aeropagus is the ancient Greek agora, the general meeting place of the city. There are plenty of ruins to see, plus the Parthenon. A mere 24 hours in Athens is nowhere near enough.
TBT: That Time I Got Diverted to Alaska On My Trip to Australia

20 Business Class Experiences: My Rankings
I didn't include any recliner business class in my rankings. I'm only counting long-haul products, or ones that could easily be long-haul if they were installed on an aircraft that could fly that distance. Overall, I tried to balance hard product (i.e. seat) with an overall picture of the soft product (i.e. service and catering).
