Europe2018 Review: Hilton Amsterdam The Hilton Amsterdam is an interesting hotel with quite a history, best known for the John Lennon and Yoko 1969 'bed-in for peace'. The Hotel even has a dedicated John and Yoko suite. This hotel probably wouldn't have been my first pick of places in Amsterdam, but it was reasonably

Japan-2018 Introduction: Skiing and Sightseeing in Japan 2018 has certainly rolled around the corner very quickly, it seems like only a few weeks ago I was organising this trip and posted about the great $1,600 return business class flights I got from Sydney to Japan

USA-2017 Review: Virgin 777 'The Business' LAX-SYD After an amazing two weeks in the US, it was time to head home, whilst we were not traveling in First Class, I was really looking forward to this flight as Virgin Business class has some fantastic reviews.
USA-2017 Review: Emirates Business / First Lounge LAX Virgin Australia doesn't currently have a lounge at Los Angles airport despite running several flights in and out to Australia. What is fascinating is that Virgin have now partnered with both Etihad and Emirates to use their lounges in TBIT
USA-2017 Review: Half Dome Village Yosemite National Park Being located directly in Yosemite valley Half Dome village is a great location to base yourself from.

USA-2017 Review: JetBlue Mint New York to San Francisco Due to the fact that I couldn't redeem Velocity points on Etihad for Syndey to San Francisco as it exceeded 15,000 miles we had to reposition from New York back west to San Francisco.

USA-2017 Review: Etihad Apartments Abu Dhabi to New York One flight down and one more to go, can't say I am usually this excited for a 14-hour plane ride, but Apartments is just fantastic.

USA-2017 Review: Sydney Etihad Business/First Lounge Our next trip report kicks off with a chauffeured ride to Sydney airport followed by some (underwhelming) time in the Etihad Business lounge. At T-48 I was contacted by the chauffeur company to confirm the pickup details, for some reason Etihad were suggesting a 4:45 pm pickup which I
Reviews Review: Virgin Australia 737 Business Class After my successful UpgradeMe bid on my return flight from Brisbane, I was somewhat looking forward to the flight home rather than dreading the small packet of snacks and beer I would normally get, I would actually get to enjoy a proper meal, this would also save me from the
Reviews Review: Virgin Premium Entry Brisbane Airport Arguably one of the best benefits of holding status with Virgin is getting access to the priority entry at Sydney and Brisbane airport (which also happens to be a route that I travel fairly frequently). As with almost all airlines, once you hold status with Virgin Australia you get access
Travel Virgin Australia Inflight WiFi Experience Back in July last year Virgin Australia announced that they would begin implementation of WiFi on its domestic fleet.
