The Westin – Singapore
An unexpected trip to Singapore led me to staying here for 5 nights. And I initially rolled my eyes at staying at the new Westin. I really don’t care for “Business” hotels as a rule… but I will admit to have misjudged the Westin Singapore… a great hotel. It is one of those hotel that sits a top a skyscraper, … Read More
Hotel Americano – New York City
Parking Garage in Chelsea’s art gallery district turned into Boutique Hotel. A cozy little hotel. Does make for a good place if you have business in Chelsea, the location is quite central. Lobby and entrance is very nicely laid out, and found the elevator and room pins intriguing. But for those who like space to spread out, beware… the rooms … Read More
Roomers – Frankfurt
When coming from the airport, I asked our taxi driver if he knew about our hotel Roomers and if it was nice… he said it was nice, but very black. I wasn’t quite sure what he meant at the time, but now I do. It’s as if you took Prince in his Lovesexy period, and made it all Black, (in … Read More
It’s Just Lunch: JFK Bar Villa Kennedy – Frankfurt am Main
With a 2 full day stopover in Frankfurt, I thought it would be good to go to Villa Kennedy, one of the more refined hotels in Frankfurt. Check out the iconic JFK Bar and have lunch and see how good the main restaurant was. It was a pleasant day for a walk and iconic place to spend an hour or … Read More
Dinner for 2: I Latina Cocina Latinoamericana – Buenos Aires
Report by: The Celestial Don’t cry for me Argentina!! Because really as The Fussy Flyer said at dinner….. “imagine being seated in front of a very hawt boy… who’s cross eyed… you think you can just suck it up and enjoy his company but then you realize that you just can’t get over that ever so glaring flaw…” That sums … Read More
Dinner for 7: Corner House – Singapore
Report by: The Celestial The best phrase that was used by a fellow contributor, the BuzyBee… Exceeded expectations. In Singapore, the demand for food quality is set incredibly high… one wrong extra wrist turning salt finish spells disaster…overcooked satay… epic fail…. and no self respecting establishment would want to hear a patron utter the the ever so dreaded comment….’Your standards … Read More
Virgin Atlantic VS023 LHR Heathrow ✈ LAX Los Angeles Economy
Flight Report by: The Lady Jennifer Lynn My family and I had not flown Virgin Atlantic prior to our most recent trip to London. The last long flight we took was on American to Paris, which was unbelievably uncomfortable. With Virgin Atlantic, the online the check-in was seamless, with no wait to check our bags at the airport. What I … Read More
Air Canada AC791 – YYZ ✈ LAX Business Class
After a 2 hour layover in Toronto, and have US Immigrations in Canada (fascinating procedure), time to hop on the final segment back home to LAX… In 5-hours, back where the weather is better than anywhere else in the world. I know, just flew around it. Of course, there is some technical problem, and some gadget in the cockpit needs … Read More
EK248 Emirates EZE Buenos Aires ✈ GIG Rio De Janeiro First & Business Class
When planning the jump from Buenos Aires to Rio De Janeiro, I discovered that Emirates has a flight that continues on to Dubai, and thought more fun to fly Emirates rather then any of the other flights that seemed to be available. And since there were two of us, it would be great for one of us to try out … Read More
Avianca Brazil 066257 – Rio De Janeiro ✈ Sao Paulo No Class
I do love referring to single class aircraft as “No Class”. But it is an unfair image it may conjure up. And this was a well executed commuter style flight for those who have to go back and forth between the two cities. The only reason I am on this particular segment, is after the initial booking, Air Canada changed … Read More
Lufthansa LH510 – FRA Frankfurt ✈ EZE Buenos Aires First Class
Expectations: I have to admit that I am totally excited to fly on this. I love the 747-8 (a better aircraft than the A380) and this is my first time in First on this plane. It is the main reason I routed us to Frankfurt for our around the world trek. I am a bit sad it is not in … Read More
Cathay Pacific CX289 – HKG Hong Kong ✈ FRA Frankfurt First Class
Time has arrived for the midnight flight to Frankfurt. And I am quite curious just how well Cathay treats their First Class passengers on their home turf. So our porter gets our luggage over to the corner where First Class is kinda hiding. Honestly I am a bit underwhelmed and struck how minimal the set-up is, and then it hits … Read More
