Japan Airlines and American have some awesome deals to Bali right now. The cheapest seem to be departing from Vancouver but Toronto, Calgary and Mexico City work as well. Most dates work – up until March 2021. You can book Japan Airlines using their 767’s for just $841 RT and find dates on Google Flights […]
Qatar is operating a number of LATAM A359 airplanes to and from Colombo, Barcelona, and Vienna. These come in LATAM livery and seat confirmation but with an interior that is branded with Qatar Airways. This way I could try out LATAM’s Business Class seat by flying (and enjoying) Qatar’s signature service. Leaving Colombo is quite […]
The Grand Wailea Maui is the ‘Grande Dame’ of Wailea resorts that control the area south of Kihei on the island of Maui. While the area beaches are all publicly accessible by the way of the beautiful public beach walk – there is a never-ending line of resorts that open into the beautiful waters of […]
Flying interisland in Hawaii has always been an odd choice. You could either fly Hawaiian (at very higher fares of $119 one-way) on their 737/717 or use one of the (now demised) lower-cost carriers. The low-cost carriers always seemed shaky and some of the planes seemed in a rather sorry state. Southwest has now entered […]
Hawaiian Airlines had found itself in a bit of a pickle a few years ago when they sat on a fleet of A330s and Alaska Airlines suddenly opened up the Hawaii market from the West Coast on 737s serving many smaller markets with direct flights. But Hawaiian Airlines found that connecting to Asia is a […]
The Hyatt Grand Centric Waikiki Beach is located just next door to Waikiki’s newest and poshest mall – the International Marketplace. The lobby is located a few floors up and impresses with a fresh and modern design. Indeed the whole property just opened in 2017. Our check-in was quick, painless and rather friendly. Without asking […]
Corona Virus (COVID-19) has been on everyones’s mind since early February. Rightly so as the death toll and high infection risk since its first outbreak in Wuhan has shown. Airline Bookings for international AND domestic flights have been way down since the last week of February. United is even saying the they would not bring […]
The Niagara Falls were on my to-do list for a long time. The Niagara Falls come with a huge vertical drop and an enormous flow of water. They are primarily used for electricity generation. However there is a program in place to conserver a high water rate during tourist hours. The Niagara Falls are located […]

I was quite looking forward to my stay at the Hyatt Regency Addis Abeba – a newly property at Addis Abeba’s ‘city center’ – Meskel Square. The building is almost at the center of the city’s biggest intersection and a new Chinese built tram line. This should make an easy transport option – to an […]
The Radisson Blu Addis Abeba is just a block away from the Hilton Addis but given the odd walkways and treacherous traffic and state of sidewalks, it can take 20 minutes to get there. I stayed a few times at the Radisson Blu Addis Abeba (my old review) and found it to be very solid. […]
My Favorite Things To Do Malta – Introduction Malta is a small Mediterranean island just about 200 miles off the African coast) that comes with its own language, own country designation and is a member of the European Union (and the Euro and Schengen agreements). While I pictured Malta to be a bigger Gibraltar […]

TunisAir has found itself between a rock and hard place with its main routes to Europe being ordered by mostly French discount airlines and the aggressive modernization of Royal Air Maroc to the West. However, it has a reputation as one of Africa’s safest. For the 200 miles from Tunis to Malta, I had eyed […]
My Favorite Things To Do Tunis – Introduction Tunis is the capital city of Tunisia. Tunisia – easy to confuse! Even before the ‘Arab Spring’ Tunisia has been one of the more open Islamic societies and can be described as the Turkey of Northern Africa (with a heavy French accent). In fact, French is widely […]
InterContinental Malta is located in St. Julian’s bay – the ‘party district’ of Malta. As with many buildings in Malta, the InterContinental has mushroomed from a modest footprint to a whole city block that seems to be sprawling all over the place. In fact, the 10th-floor pool got an addition on the 19th floor to provide […]
The Hilton Addis Abeba is the granddaddy of US-inspired hoteliers in Addis. It’s located on a steep hill and it is in close neighborhood to the Radisson Addis Abeba (Review), Intercontinental Addis Abeba (that one is fake and not part of IHG) and also rather close to the Hyatt Regency Addis Abeba (Review). Check-in […]
Air Canada is running a daily 787 Dreamliner service from/ to Toronto and San Francisco. I was curious how it would stack up against the competition. The flight was originally scheduled for 10.50 PM but was moved to 10.30 PM a few days before my flight. I had no trouble checking in online and get […]
This was my first time on Aer Lingus and also my first time on their Business Class – I was curious how seats, inflight service, and Wifi would stack up against the competition. Aer Lingus (as a non-aligned carrier especially) has a small footprint in Toronto a major Star Alliance hub. Gladly there were still […]
