In just over a week I’m going to once again get on a plane and head to Asia. Next weeks flights are the last in a series of Cathay Pacific flights I booked in late 2018. Likewise, with these flights I’ll finally have earned enough miles to once again qualify for Executive Platinum status. While…
Over the past few years we’ve seen some incredible Premium Cabin fares from various OneWorld airlines (Qatar and Cathay) from Vietnam back to the United States. I’ve personally been fortunate enough to jump in on a few of these fares which has been a ton of fun. However, beginning a trip in Vietnam presents a…
Greetings from Hanoi! I’m here to begin the first leg of my Cathay Pacific New Year’s Eve Pho Fare. I’ll admit, it’s a clever name for a mistake fare, but it’s not mine, thanks FlyerTalk. I’ve been in Hanoi for just under a day and have been enjoying this incredible city. I’m once again utterly…
Update: My Approval Letter arrived within 12 hours after processing payment for a standard 2 day request. A few weeks ago Cathay Pacific had an incredible New Year Eve sale. The sale (mistake fare) featured extremely discounted First Class and Business Class fares from Vietnam back to the United States. The sale lasted a few hours and was…
The mid-point for my Around The World In A Weekend Trip was back in Ho Chi Minh Vietnam. I made it to Vietnam after yet another incredible Qatar Airways A330 Business Class flight. I had just a few hour layover before my Cathay Pacific Economy Class flight to Hong Kong and I didn’t feel like leaving the…
After two days of positioning flights to Vietnam and several hours exploring the city, it was finally time to head back to the airport to catch my first of eight Qatar Airways flights. My first flight was from Ho Chi Minh to Doha and departs at 7:25PM. Like most airlines, Qatar only staffs the check-in counters…
After nearly a full 24 hours of traveling I finally touched down in Ho Chi Minh Vietnam, received my visa, and cleared immigration. I officially made it to Vietnam. I had just 20 hours and ready to explore Ho Chi Min City. Since I slept well over 10 hours on my two Asiana Business Class…
After a series of three positioning flights to begin my 2017 American Airlines Mileage Run on Qatar Airways I finally made it to Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam. I opted to arrive in Vietnam nearly 24 hours before the start of my journey because I wanted to make sure that no matter what, I wouldn’t…
Hello and greetings from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) Vietnam! It’s already been a long day or so of travel and I have several more ahead of me. Surprisingly I feel great. I’m trying to stay on Central Standard Time (CST) throughout this whole trip. The goal is to minimize jet lag by staying on…
Singapore Airlines quickly became my favorite international airline earlier this year when I flew their Suites Class from New York to Frankfurt. That flight was truly an incredible experience and I’ve been wanted to fly Singapore Airlines (SQ) again ever since. The thing I regret most about that trip was the amount of time on…
