I’ve rented a fair amount of cars in my life, this is from a decent amount of work travel primarily. I have expiring/now expired 16,837 points in my account. However, points are only actually valuable if you get any usage…
Shakshuka Search in Mexico City
Considering all the junk I also eat – as I am currently looking for the best burger in Mexico City – it is good for me to opt for one of these instead, as it’s quite a healthy breakfast meal. …
Singapore Airlines SQ948 A333 Business Class Flight Review: Singapore to Denpasar SIN to DPS
This flight was on the Singapore Airlines Airbus A330-300 (A333) with 172 degree reclining seats. There is an audio port deep DEEP in the bottom/storage area of the seat, which is quite a nightmare to try to get the headphones…
Thai Airways TG102 773 Business Class Flight Review: Bangkok to Chiang Mai BKK to CNX
This is about an hour flight, so pretty short. Very nicely Thai configured 77W though with lie flat seats. Would have preferred these for the much longer leg I just did prior from MNL to BKK. A simple egg breakfast…
Thai Airways TG625 773 Business Class Flight Review: Manila to Bangkok MNL to BKK
Unfortunately this 773 seems to be the older configuration of the two that Thai Airways presently has. The seats have a funky style to me. Unfortunately they are angle flat but not the nice fully lie flat available on many…

Cathay Pacific CX806 777 First Class Flight Review: Hong Kong to Chicago HKG to ORD
I decided to go from 70k to 110k AA miles to spring for first class rather than business on my way home home HKG. Cathay Pacific is well known for their suites so I figured I would try one out…
Japan Airlines JL745 76W Business Class Flight Review: Tokyo to Manila NRT to MNL
The Japan Airlines lounge was pretty nice. Initially almost nobody was in there, although it got much busier later. Food was aight for for munching on, although these days, I think that flagship domestic AA lounge is much nicer. Good…
Thai Airways TG407 773 Business Class Flight Review: Bangkok to Singapore BKK to SIN
These are the staggered seats on the 77W configuration of Thai Airways; 180 degree lie flats. I had the salmon, which was pretty tasty. The seat was nice and comfortable, I generally choose windows; in the stagger configuration you can…
