I have been flying for quite a number of years and here is the page that collects all my flight and lounge reviews from 2004 to 2019. This is a historical record of how airline travel was back in the day.
Those looking for more recent travel experiences should go to this page for the flights from 2020 onwards. Reviews are listed by airline first and then by date at the bottom. Enjoy!
