# Business Class Journal

> Business Class Journal is an independent publication covering the premium end of business travel. We report on long-haul business and first class cabins, airport lounges, the hotels and clubs that business travellers actually use, and the loyalty programs that price the trade-offs. Every product reviewed is paid for in cash or with our own miles — no comp travel, no paid placements.
