    Canada, Mexico, Europe, oh my! RTW here we go.

    Abisko Sky Station is about an hour out of Kiruna if that is an option. I was lucky enough to see the lights five nights out of seven there on two seperate trips. The locals told me that Lapporten nearby apparently helps keep the sky clear.

    Qatar Economy Class - The Very Good and the Slightly Annoying.

    I used to stay at the Doubletree Old Town when I had layovers in Doha. Friendly staff, quiet hotel, comfortable rooms.

    If you had 5-7 days free where would you go Tibet, Bhutan or Mongolia ?

    This was going to be my recommendation. Plenty to do and a good time of year weather wise. Hualien Gorge would be my strong recommendation whilst you are there and there's plenty to do in Taipei and immediate surrounds.

    Out of interest, what has gone on to the shortlist? I am always keen to consider new short trips and may be able to suggest some more (depending on where you have been).

    How to best search for classic reward flights?

    Thanks for your advice @penguino - I am. Not too fussed on the class, it's the daytime flight that is important to us. I have picked up the flexible dates trick which is handy the downside is the inability to see the flights that we want and not the Jetstar redeye via DPS. I will keep fiddling...

    Would you fly... Ukraine International Airlines?

    I flew them in 2014 and wouldn't hesitate to fly them again. They reminded me of Easyjet.

    Which European city for Christmas?

    One thing to consider is that Orthodox Christmas is early January in Russia. The cities are very quiet as many go away because of the Orthodox holidays. I made that mistake when I visited Moscow in 2015. The hotel ran out of beer on my third day, no laundry services and a skeleton staff. Your...

    Loyalty programs - worse than cigarettes or crack cocaine.

    Reading this made me wonder. Normally when we think of buying a flight we imagine that the primary thing we are buying is the transportation to a destination and the service on board. This as @juddles points out is inconsistent at best and a huge debating point on AFF. In flight service is...

    Travel planning, RTW stopover suggestions

    Another vote for Lisbon. Great architecture, a bit of warmth, great day trips (Sintra, Quinta la reguleira) and some stunning food. Loved Jeronimos Monastery and Pastel de Nata next door.

    Dubai: seeking hotel recommendation

    I just had a look on Google maps and I think you will struggle from the Marriott to walk to the nearest station. You would have to cross some major roads in the heat. Each to their own. Perhaps worth reaching out to the hotel and asking if they offer a shuttle service to major sights or of there...
