Over the past 12 months, I have experienced six different international business class products thanks to my job as Insider's aviation reporter. And — among this particular bunch — I've found that none of them are like the other.

05.09.2023 - 07:39 / euronews.com / London St Pancras / Val Thorens / Angela Symons
If you prefer ski holidays to beach breaks, get ready to hop aboard the Eurostar Snow train.
Launching on 16 December, it will whisk winter sports lovers from London to the French Alps in a matter of hours.
The service will run until 4 February, connecting Lille with the snowy peaks of southeast France.
Eurostar Snow connects the UK capital with the French Alps via Lille.
After taking the train from London St Pancras in the UK to Lille in France, you can switch to the service for Bourg-Saint-Maurice, calling at Chambéry, Albertville, Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-Les-Bains and Aime-la-Plagne along the way.
Eurostar Snow will depart every Saturday throughout winter and return every Sunday, with a total journey time of around eight hours.
Standard tickets on Eurostar Snow from London to the slopes start from £99 (€116) each way during off-peak dates (13 January to 4 February) and £149 (€174) on peak dates (16 December to 7 January).
Tickets come with an allowance of two large bags and one handbag, plus one pair of skis or one snowboard in a protective case. There are no liquid restrictions on board.
Located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bourg-Saint-Maurice - often shortened to Bourg - is a paradise for winter sports lovers.
It is the gateway to the Paradiski ski area, home to Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne.
From the town’s train station, coaches run regularly to neighbouring ski resorts including Val Thorens, Val d’Isère, Courchevel, La Tania, Tignes, Meribel and Les Menuires.
Packed with five star hotels and Michelin star restaurants, Courchevel is best suited for luxury travellers, while Les Menuires and La Tania offer more affordable options.
If you’re in it for the apres ski, head to Val Thorens, known for its nightlife and events.

You Can See Penguins, Seals, and Whales From This New Zealand Train
In November 2016, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck and ravaged the region around the town of Kaikoura on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island. The earthquake and the ensuing landslides killed two people, and demolished homes, roads, and railway tracks. Indeed, parts of the Main North Line, one of the most scenic rail routes in the world, slid into the ocean, forcing the Coastal Pacific train to stop its operation. In 2018, the line was repaired and the magnificent train journey between Christchurch and Picton resumed. Today, the Coastal Pacific still runs along the Pacific Ocean, allowing travelers to see New Zealand’s beauty, the slow and comfortable way.
