AFF Trip Report of the Month

Thank you everyone. I agree there were lots of great trip reports this month.

Yes, I was reluctant to write a trip report on the go, but was encouraged by many on this forum, thank you.
I did find it good to recall things, places and experiences on the go, as they were fresh in my mind.

Once again I am humbled to receive the the TOTM acknowledgement and thank you to those that read and followed along and wrote encouraging messages, it definitely helped me get to the end.😊
 
Congratulations to @n7of9 for taking out this month's Trip Report of the Month for this wonderful TR:

Thread 'Palaces and The Sahara'

I've always been iffy about posting a trip report. I'm not of the social media generation, and other than Reddit and AFF, have no actual social media profiles. I started a trip report last year on my trip to South Korea and Japan, but deleted it after a few days without posting. Earlier this year, though, I really enjoyed @Human's TR of KSC and it just made me happy following his travels and remembering my own time there... so here's my TR of London and Morocco.

I've booked a 9-day tour of Morocco - single menopausal woman with a Natural Resting coughface travelling alone in...

Last year, we introduced the "Trip Report of the Month" award on AFF. Each month, the AFF team chooses their favourite member trip report from the previous month, with the winner receiving a special banner on their profile (which also links to their winning trip report) for that month.

We're doing this to recognise and show our appreciation to AFF members who've put a lot of time and effort into writing sensational trip reports that have informed and entertained us all.

We're back! After a bit of a hiatus, we're delighted to bring back Trip Report of the Month!

The Trip Report of the Month for August goes to @offshore171, for their trip report "Getting high in the Andes, until it got complicated".

Thread 'Getting high in the Andes, until it got complicated'

I've always wanted to see the mighty Andes mountains of South America. And not just from a distance, but rather getting right into the thick of things.

So the goal for this trip was to get to here:

chil - 35.jpeg

This is the mountain resort of Portillo, which sits high in the Chilean Andes, at about 2850m altitude. It is surrounded by massive peaks, including Aconcagua, the highest mountain outside the Himalayas, and reaches a ridiculous 6962m.

Travel took place in July 2026.

Thread 'Countdown to a beach Luxury Escape to the Cape via Katong and Karon'

Countdown now for another flop 'n drop trip for us to evade Victoria's chilly +/- wet miserable July weather.

Enticed by a DSC in February, I looked at Melbourne to Singapore via Sydney with no real plan of where our destination would be - as usual!

As PC+ & WP I was hoping to burn some points and have F seats released - yeah/nah.
Plan B, purchase revenue J and request upgrade to F 🙏

I don't have Expert Flyer, but with kind AFF folk who had looked at my dates, I booked and live in hope of a little bit of A380 Luxury.

Now 4 days our from our flight, the countdown is on, so hoping to...
