Champlagnes – TG F, OZ J & F and NH F – Sofitel, Hyatt, Conrad, Hilton

After a couple of months of reading the Trip Reports forum on FlyerTalk.com, I slowly became aware that an itinerary involving multiple flights in international First Class, was no longer a lottery winning dream. This could actually be done. Not only that but with judicious routing and planning it could be done cheaply and awesomely, maximising all the little extras that make each airline unique.

REVIEW – Hyatt Regency [Now Grand Hyatt] Incheon (Korea)

I had been looking forward to this stay for a while. The pictures of the pool, with huge floor to ceiling windows, opening onto a snowy garden, looked fantastic. All reports and reviews that I had read indicated that this would be a cut above the usual airport hotel experience.

REVIEW – Grand Hyatt Melbourne

Overall this was a decent stay but I'd still be tempted to look elsewhere when returning to Melbourne. The sports facilities are fantastic as is the location but the dark and noisy rooms detracted from the overall experience, as did the quality of the offerings in the club lounge. This is a city that seems to struggle with delivering true luxury. I can't help but feeling that it needs a Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton or MO to really raise the bar for the current crop of properties...
