More info at OMAAT Marriott Abruptly ends Sonder Partnership - v interesting comments of people mid-stay being told they must vacate Sonder property by tomorrow despite having pre paid stay in full. I was planning a month long stay in a Sonder apartment in NYC over Dec/Jan, glad that didn’t...

As the near draws to a close, just finalising my last additions to this year's plans and I've got to say, very proud that in my 40th year I have the privilege (and skills thanks to AFF!) to be able to travel so much (and work from overseas where needed). Added a RTW plus eurotrip to the above...

I ordered a bottle of gin last week that was on sale and still got a leaf despite T&C saying 6 or 12 case of wine

Ah was remarking about the (low) quality of the house vodka on board though :) when the whiskey is JW blue?

Some more…seared scallops (to die for), BTC sakura teriyaki and flourless orange cake: BTC swiss rosti with bacon from main menu:

Some SQ F food photos, not a single dish I didn’t enjoy 🙂 Won’t bother with staples like satay and caviar but what is with Ketel One being the F vodka?!?! Was very jarring with the caviar… On the other hand, between sq345 and sq217 I got through 4 bottles of Krug just on my own! 😆 First 2 are...

I booked ZRH-SIN-MEL in F saver for this August. Just flew the first leg. IMO - a total bargain, for 50k points for the 24 hours of so. The food and drinks IMO are significantly better, service super personalised and with 2 ppl in F I basically had the entire left bathroom to myself. Entertained...

For those passing through TPR just a heads up. I was looking forward to trying the lobster laksa this morning, but alas the menu has changed and it’s no longer on the menu. I asked about it and the staff said the menu has changed for Singapore’s 60th anniversary celebrations. Seems like a...

Stellar crew on SQ336. Feeling a little regretful now of shifting my revenue business to QF on account of their lifetime status (cf. SQ). I asked if there was fruit and was served fruit from breakfast at the end of supper service, and was pleasantly surprised they offered me fruit appetiser...

SQ336 BTC mains - OG thermidor and laksa - really enjoyed them, no complaints !

Slight update SQ336 was a little less rigid - but CSM still came to me directly to say it’s policy now only for children and he’ll do me a favour this time and ‘sneak’ one to me mid flight which he just did in the cover of dimmed lights lol surely these cost 50cents to produce a pop? Why the...

Went with the BTC peppercorn steak out of MEL Wasn't too bad but was perplexed at why the sauce was bright orange ? Not so clear in photo but def orange in vivo

Asked for SQ bears on SQ228 for my niece and head steward came to apologise to say that it’s company policy now it’s only for travelling minors 😢 Got four bears 2 years ago in SQ J !! (including those chef ones 😍) Will try again on the return leg in F! Hopefully a bit more flexible up the front..

Yes, but you don't know what you'll get though? It's just a dietary preference...

Just booked QF35–>QF1 Excess time in SIN IMO is a good not a bad thing - plenty of oneworld lounges to leisurely work from… My biggest gripe with tight connections like this is not so much human misconnection, but baggage misconnection when there’s a delay even at an airport as efficient as SIN...

Flying out on SQ228 next Monday and was wondering if anyone has tried either the chicken or the garlic chilli braised barramundi from the main menu? I normally go with the lamb, but the accompaniments and jus seem a little, how should I put it, avantgarde for my tastes... Side observation...

No farting tho 😇

Mind you, it’s my first and last German meal. I can only stomach one on any given trip, then i’m right back to Asian food…luckily the Vietnamese food here is half decent 😅 Was totally famished in Vienna a couple of years ago I had to just switch to just eating dessert…there’s only so much...

Currently also spargeling in Germany in May 😍
