Review: EVA Air International Business Class
I recently traveled in EVA’s International Business Class aboard a Boeing 777 from TPE to IAH. Overall the service was good but frustrating at times. Certain aspects were of disappointment compared to Air Canada’s or Singapore Airlines’ service. I like to get to the point. See my review of EVA’s Business Class below including some […]
Review: The Athenee Hotel – The Luxury Collection
I recently stayed for a few nights at The Athenee Hotel – The Luxury Collection in Bangkok with high expectations as this hotel was recommended to me by multiple friends and colleagues. When you first walk in you are wowed by the grand entrance. Overall the hotel was very nice and the lounge was pretty […]
Review: W Koh Samui
The W Koh Samui is a very unique resort. Firstly all the rooms have a private pool and who doesn’t need that next to the beach. The property is also on a point so you get amazing views wherever you go. This resort is one of a kind and is featured a lot in SPG […]
Review: Sheraton Maldives – Lounge
I wanted to share some pictures of the lounge at the Sheraton Maldives Resort. It definitely has that resort and private feel, however it is not exclusive to SPG members. People staying at the resort can purchase day passes to the lounge which can cause it to be busy. I also believe that some room […]

Review: Singapore Airlines Business Class – A330

The experience was still good and you still received that Singapore Airlines service but the cabin is a bit dated. Pros: Service is very attentive Meal quality is very good and tasteful The seats are […]
Review: Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa
We recently stayed at the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa. Overall the resort was very nice with excellent landscaping, however Maldivian developments south of the island have created a eye sore for those who have the Beach Cottages or other rooms facing south. Also, the main beach is also located on the south […]
Point Value: Asia Trip
Now that its all booked for our Asia Trip, how did I do? There is a lot of analysis out there that says you should aim for “x” cents per point. I am just going to give you the facts. When I booked my reward ticket I checked the current cost of the tickets for […]
Review: Air Canada International Business Class
I recently flew from Toronto to Tokyo on Air Canada’s Dreamliner during the start of my Asia Trip. There business class is your typical lie flat pods. Immediately coming on board the stewardess met us with a smile and drink offering. Large touch screen in front of you and to the left a large storage […]
