Etihad Airways Flight Review: B777-300ER flight EY470 from Abu Dhabi to Singapore

Between the ME3, Etihad Airways operate just a modest 1x daily flight to Singapore compared to Emirates (4X daily) and Qatar Airways (3X daily). When the opportunity arose to fly Emirates or Etihad, I decided to go for Etihad Airways as I figured I would get more opportunities to fly Qatar Airways or Emirates given their more frequent schedules from Singapore. After meeting the nice Etihad flight attendants and experiencing the friendly Etihad inflight service, I didn't regre

ASKY Airlines Flight Experience - Free Seating Onboard!

ASKY? You might be ASKing me... Honestly, it was a twist of fate I ended up with ASKY - the Pan African airline. Long story short, a thou-shall-be-unnamed airline I originally booked with cancelled my flight, leaving me stranded in West Africa unless I proactively perform some self-rescuing. Given my stingy travel budget, this left me pretty much with two options: 1. fly Ethiopian Airlines east, to East Africa 2. fly ASKY Airlines south, to well, South Africa Option 1 did off

Lao Airlines Flight Review: Sincere Hospitality Onboard QV535 (Vientiane to Singapore)

Lao Airlines is an airline I've been eyeing on trying, given the very positive reviews I have read online on its inflight services. It was also the perfect excuse to visit the UNESCO World Heritage city Luang Prabang. Lao Airlines restarted its Singapore route for the Winter season 2017/2018, offering the following schedule: QV536 Singapore - Vientiane - Luang Prabang Departs Singapore: 2.15pm / Arrives Vientiane: 4.10pm Departs Vientiane: 5.00pm / Arrives Luang Prabang: 5.45

10 Travel Tips For Flight Baggage Delays & Baggage Damages

It is the holiday season again and it is time to travel! Travelling is always fun but it can be stressful at the same time - especially when airlines lose or damage our baggage. I had a bad experience when flying a domestic flight from Cusco to Lima and ended up stranded without my luggage for over 36 hours. I wouldn't have thought it would happen to me on a one hour domestic flight (who ever thinks bad things would happen to them!) but it did, and you could safely say that i

Singapore Airlines Impressive Economy Class: SQ866 Singapore to Hong Kong Flight Review

It has been a year since I last flown with Singapore Airlines, and I have been looking forward to experiencing Singapore Airlines' retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER on a short weekend jaunt to the wonderful dining and shopping mecca, Hong Kong. While I had expected a superb B777-300ER cabin product, I was quite blown away by the quality of inflight services and hospitality rendered by the polished Singapore Airlines cabin crew team on this flight, and I was travelling in Economy C
