DEN Denver International Airport
My first time to DEN Denver International Airport, and I must say a rather nice and efficient. Not the most glamorous in feel, but easy to navigate and plenty of space. Mostly the Hub for United and several of the LCC carriers. Layout is very similar to ATL / Hartsfield–Jackson, … Read More
American Airlines AA1596 LAX ✈ DEN Economy
I don’t fly much domestically, but with visiting friends in Denver, thought a good way to sample American Airlines (AA), and save 34,000 miles about to expire. Pricing out the flights, AA proved to be about the same as the LCC, but with more legroom and I would hope a … Read More

In the back of the bus, what’s up in coach on the 777-300ER
With all the Hoo-Ha on the United Polaris reveal, and their new Boeing 777-300ER, we couldn’t help notice what a tight squeeze it was in the back of the bus. Being that the 777-300ER is one of the more popular long-haul craft (sorry A380), we wanted to see how United … Read More
Amandari – Ubud Bali Indonesia – Aman Resorts
This is my sixth time to Bali, and it has changed in so many ways over the last 30+ years. Ubud used to be a very quiet and sleepy little place, but now it is all a hustle and a bustle. So I was very dubious of spending much, if … Read More
Amanusa – Nusa Dua Bali Indonesia – Aman Resorts
After 23 hours of travel, it’s time to stop for an evenings rest and catch some sleep… and what a wonderful place to wake up to. Located in the southern end of Bali, where all the “resorts” are, it was easy for me to dismiss this Aman as a stopover … Read More
Belmond Copacabana Palace – Rio De Janeiro
I wanted to make the first time in Rio de Janeiro specially nice, being that it was also the final stop before heading home on the #RTW Round the World Trip. The Belmond Copacabana Palace was the perfect choice. An iconic hotel right on Copacabana Beach, there is no missing … Read More
Nobis Hotel – Stockholm
For my first time in Stockholm, Nobis Hotel, proved to be a perfect choice. Central location, and a beautiful classic old hotel with a fantastic update. And not that expensive to stay for 2-days. As with all Design Hotels, a great restaurant and a great bar as part of the … Read More
Air New Zealand NZ1 – LHR London Heathrow ✈ LAX Los Angeles – Premium Economy
For those living in Los Angeles, Air New Zealand makes a great alternative to fly LAX – London. Generally priced a bit less than the competition on this route, and one of the better services. And this made a great time to test out their SpaceSeat for the Premium Economy … Read More
Lufthansa LH2472 – MUC Munich ✈ LHR London Heathrow Business
As a rule I find Euro-Business to be rather unspectacular. Same seats as Coach with no one in the middle seat is just a bit underwhelming, but you do get the all the other advantages, and with Lufthansa the service on board is always top notch. And this 2 hour … Read More
SAS SK2659 – ARN Stockholm ✈ MUC Munich SAS Plus
Not having flown SAS since I was a child, was looking forward to flying with them again. Also, wanted to test out the SAS Plus, which is the highest class they offered for this flight. Figured I would get an additional lounge to check out if nothing else. Boarding went … Read More
