What we publish
Midair Times publishes first-hand reviews of:
- Airline products — long-haul and regional business class, premium economy, and occasionally economy on routes that matter.
- Airport lounges — independent (Priority Pass) and airline-branded.
- Travel gear — items the author has personally used on the trips covered by the site.
- Local guides — practical how-to content tied to the destinations reached by the flights reviewed.
All content is tied to a specific trip, flight, route, or product. The site does not publish generic listicles, “best of” round-ups without personal testing, or content generated from public information alone.
How reviews are produced
- First-hand experience only. Every airline, lounge, and gear review on Midair Times is based on a flight, lounge visit, or product the author has personally used. Reviews are not based on press releases, manufacturer claims, or other people’s reports.
- The author flies as a real passenger. Lasse Dyre, the founder of Midair Times, books and pays for flights the same way a regular traveller would, except in cases where a flight is part of a media or sponsored arrangement (in which case it is disclosed in the review).
- The YouTube channel comes first. The accompanying video review on the @MidairTimes YouTube channel is the primary record. The blog post is the long-form written companion, typically produced from the same trip notes.
- No payment for positive coverage. Midair Times does not accept payment in exchange for a positive review. Affiliate links, where present, are clearly disclosed and never influence the verdict.
- Corrections are updated, not patched over. If a flight, lounge, or product changes in a material way after publication, the article is updated with a “Last updated” date and a note of what changed.
