Thread 'I'd do anything to spend time with my kids. Even go to Bali.'

This Trip Report won’t be for everyone. I’ve been in two minds for months over whether to write it at all. But there hasn’t been a Bali trip report on AFF for … well, for almost a whole year now. And the circumstances of this TR might be of some interest to at least a small subset of AFF readers.

It all started when my daughter got married in March 2024. She married a lovely young man, and after they announced their engagement I told them that I’d use my points to fly them in Business Class to anywhere in the world, for their honeymoon.

Somewhat to my relief, they chose New Zealand. So I...

Thread 'Drrons off to Asia with Lifemiles.'

So tomorrow we start our trip flying to Sydney and staying 3 nights. Tuesday it is off to BKK flying TG on Lifemiles J awards.

Thread 'Portugal, Paris, Sicily and Florence'

Well after reading so many wonderful trip reports, I am a little hesitant to start my own.
But as @VPS said just post lots of photos and make us envious.

We were fortunate to get some great mostly business class fares, curtesy of @madrooster . I really appreciate his Assistance and jmput.(these flights were booked late last year and I built my trip around it.

Brief summary:
