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,...
Swedish Stationery Reminder in Australia
Not even sure what to make of this but here I am shopping in Brisbane and there’s still a gentle reminder.
Manchester British Airways Terraces Lounge
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.

Munich Lufthansa Senator Lounge (Non-Schengen)
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...
Singapore Airlines First Class Munich to Manchester
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...
A Sunny Gamla Uppsala
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.

Target Digital Camera Fire Sale
Dropped by a Target store today and found a range of digital cameras at very good (local) prices. Not sure I’ll buy any but it is tempting, particularly the super cheap video cameras. The quality of course is going to be terrible, but could have it’s alternate uses with lower needs or quality....
Quietly hit Qantas Lifetime Silver
Have received ‘the letter’, which is all you receive, to say I’ve hit earned enough status credits to retain silver for life. It is important to keep it all in perspective, five years or so ago when I opened an account I barely knew of, let alone would have expected to reach...

Moscow to Helsinki on Finnair
