Having arrived direct from Asia it was nice for once to not have a connecting flight but simply jump on the train and have a hotel a minute’s walk from the station. The Le Méridien Parkhotel Frankfurt is located 50 metres southeast of Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. To celebrate achieving SPG Platinum status in...
Another reason it is good to keep physical copies of your travels. The flight I took from HK to Singapore on Cathay Pacific last week credited to my Asia Miles account even though my QF membership was entered and printed on the boarding pass. It’s no doubt a remanent from...
After a very long weekend with the ZoukOut music festival I was exhausted but had to leave Singapore. We had been out all night so by the time we got back to the Westin ate breakfast in the executive lounge then tried to catch up on some sleep. With an...
After ZoukOut I still needed a flight this Sunday back from Singapore back to Kuala Lumpur to connect onto my flight to Adelaide. Could of taken one of the many cheap options but understandably getting the flight on Malaysian is convenient as my bags will pass straight through, same terminal etc. By themselves however booking...
A brief stay here booked on points awaiting my American Airlines flight the following morning. Typical airport hotel, all a bit bland and transient. But the room was comfortable.
Transitting Dubai Emirates offer STPC called Dubai Connect. While there are some fine print on eligibility you effectively get a free hotel for a involuntarily long transit. Need to be ticketed on Emirates or Qantas. In my case I had quite a long transit, arriving in the evening from Stockholm and...
A brief mention of this lounge separately before my Emirates first class flights. My stay here was rather brief and relative to the first class product quite a disappointment particularly compared to other ports with actual Emirates lounges. Stockholm has limited long haul flights and this is the only lounge...
I am so glad, somebody decided to finally do this: McDonald’s Around the World So many emotions right now 😂 🍔 😑 🍟 😝
Today I flew on MH136 ADL-KUL, on a Airbus 330-300 9M-MTE in business class, seat 6K. Flight length: 7:45 hr, 3,530 miles. If that sounds familiar it is, besides taking MAS up to KL many times this year I also flew on MTE in early March albeit on the alternative-day,...
Photos from the British Airways lounge in Manchester. It sits nicely above the public terminal space and offers some basic refreshments and of course internet access. Access with oneworld status or fly in business or first class. This lounge is in terminal 3. Other oneworld members, Qatar and Finnair operate...
Visited this lounge as a *G in SQ F. Both status and cabin provided eligibility, unfortunately SQ F does not provide access to the LH F lounge. Arrived for my flight quite early, actually before the lounges opened and so was first to enter for the day. All other LH...
So a day or two ago I came to the realisation my summer month of travelling around Europe was not about to end. I had planned most things approximately besides the last flight. I figured it wouldn’t be that hard to find something for Munich to Arlanda in the week...
Today was nice and sunny so we visited Gamla Uppsala (Old Uppsala) and the Church. Gamla Uppsala is most recognised by its large grass covered burial mounds. The site has been considered significantly over many centuries but today you’ll more likely see people simply enjoying the outdoors, sunbathing during the summer or...
Driving back from the Sunshine Coast we pulled off of the Bruce Highway approaching Brisbane. Traffic was banked up a bit so we decided to stop for a short break. We discovered there’s a lookout a short but slightly steep walk up the old access road. We had great timing in the...
