What could be better than a flight on a Business Class flight on a classic airliner?! Well, I recently flew in Air Baltic BUSINESS CLASS on one of Air Baltic's Boeing 737-500's (YL-BBD)! The Air Baltic Business Class flight was from Minsk (MSQ) to Riga (RIX). This Air Baltic Business Class experience was exceptional. Watch this video to see what made the trip so special. And there was a lot! Not only was the aircraft great, but the food and the crew were spectacular! Along the way, this flight report will include information about the Air Baltic Business Class seats, the Air Baltic Business Class inflight entertainment (or lack of it), the Air Baltic Business Class food, and the Air Baltic Business Class cabin crew from this Air Baltic Business class flight! You can even watch the Air Baltic Boeing 737 take-off and land! What do you think of Air Baltic Business Class? Let me know in the comments!

Once in a few years in Latvia when the signs are just right and the river Daugava can't handle spring's meltwater the floodplains of river Dviete fill up and turn into a paradise for birds and adventure seekers. Many use this rare opportunity to jump into their kayaks and paddle through forests and fields that are otherwise occupied by wild horses and taurine cattle.
