As the only Business Class passenger on the flight I had two flight crew working the cabin. Super attentive service and great food on board my Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
All of the blogs have done the new AAdvantage to death since American Airlines announced it’s plans yesterday. It seems that most people are pretty happy with the discussion. For me, well whilst I fly AA I credit to my British Airways account and so the changes have little impact. I do have one dog…
Some time ago I reviewed this property when it was a Radisson – you can read the review here. Since then it has been rebranded as a Hyatt partner hotel and is undergoing renovation. Honestly it needs to. The property’s fabric is tired, but the jewel is their staff who seem to understand this and…

The quantity matches the number of British casualties in the First World War which marks the centenary of its…
ARRIVAL By the time that I had caught a cab from the airport, having arrived on the United flight from Houston, it was mid-morning and I was slightly concerned that my room might not be ready. The check-in desk is to the left as you enter the lobby and once I was seen by the…
It looks as if Hilton have secured the management contract for the Kempinski Munich Airport – the only hotel on the grounds of Munich Airport from 1 January 2015. This will be an advantage for HHonors members who will be able to earn and redeem points at the property. The Hilton web site is currently…
I have all of my Tesco Clubcard points automatically converted to Avios as I enjoy the old rate of 800 Avios for every £2.50 of vouchers. New members only secure 600 Avios for each £2.50. You earn Clubcard points primarily for shopping at Tesco – online or in store – but you can obtain points…
