REVIEW – Swan Hellenic Antarctica Cruise
March 28, 2024 0
Belmond's Hiram Bingham is a beautifully restored and maintained train, which truly immersed us in the golden age of rail travel. There is no question that the overall experience is very luxurious and that it is the ideal way to circumvent some of the more onerous government regulation, that makes visiting the citadel of Machu Picchu so complicated.
Four Seasons Yacht now bookable!

FLIGHT REVIEWS

REVIEW – Thai Airways : Business Class – Manila to Bangkok (B772)

The food itself was average at best though and this will forever be the flight in which I drank Kahlua to wash a dirty taste out of my mouth.

REVIEW – Singapore Airlines : Suites – Zurich to Singapore (A380)

The service was spectacular and the fact that we had a dining room, a private reading room each and also a bedroom definitely took things to another level.

REVIEW – British Airways Cityflyer : Economy Class – London City to Zurich (E170)

When you get a good crew, as we did on this flight, the light hearted banter and cheeriness really adds to the overall experience.

REVIEW – Garuda Indonesia : Business Class Lounge – Jakarta (CGK-T3)

This is one of the better Business Class lounges that I've visited. Great decor, a huge variety of local food, almost unlimited seating and even some unexpected extras like the movie theatre and reflexology area. The low quality of the drinks is the only real negative. This isn't a facility that wows like the Pier Business Class lounges in London and Hong Kong but it is certainly in the upper echelon of Business Class lounges globally. You could easily pass 3-4 hours here without being bored, which given Jakarta traffic is a real bonus, since only an unhinged maniac would cut it fine when departing from this airport...

REVIEW – Plataran Komodo: Duplex Pool Villa

Plataran Komodo is a rare type of resort in this day and age. The locally owned Plataran hotel group prides itself on providing authentic experiences throughout Indonesia and has yet to succumb to the temptation of building larger resorts in tall towers...

REVIEW – Concordia Lounge : Bali (DPS – Domestic)

I had previously enjoyed a visit to the Garuda Indonesia lounge in this domestic terminal but I had a pretty terrible experience in a third party lounge in the international terminal. So overall my expectations going into this visit were relatively low...
