The reflections of an infrequent frequent flyer

When not booking the cheapest room is cheaper

I am always on the lookout for a bargain and am happy to do a little bit of extra legwork to save a few quid. Perhaps counterintuitively, this often involves ‘spending’ a little bit more money when it comes to booking hotel rooms. Like with any service, variable pricing allows the vendor to strike the… Read More When not booking the cheapest room is cheaper

Summer 2018 – going for Gold and Diamond

Having recently been going through my photos, I realised that there are a number of trips I have not written up. I thought that I would start with this trip from the summer of 2018 because it not only earned me the most tier points from any single trip I have done, which eventually to… Read More Summer 2018 – going for Gold and Diamond

Review: The Hilton Athenee Palace, Bucharest

The Athenee Palace Hilton is the ‘highest’ level of the brand in the city. There are now 3 others – the Hilton Garden Inn in the Old Town, the DoubleTree at Unirii Square and the new Hilton Garden Inn at the airport. I chose the Hilton as it had an Executive Lounge. I originally booked… Read More Review: The Hilton Athenee Palace, Bucharest

Lockdown: Look back

It has been a very busy year one way and another, and it is almost 12 months since I last posted anything on the blog. In the interim, my wife and I have had a baby, so our travel patterns have changed and will most likely consist of travelling between our parents rather than jetting… Read More Lockdown: Look back

Review: Qatar’s RIDICULOUS Al Safwa First Class Lounge

Having arrived into the airport and finding out that we had been upgraded, we made our way to the lounge via the Duty Free, past the giant teddy bear lamp. Big mistake! THE LOUNGE HAS ITS OWN DUTY FREE SHOP! Having entered the lounge, this is the view with my back to the restaurant area.… Read More Review: Qatar’s RIDICULOUS Al Safwa First Class Lounge

Review: Doha to London in First on British Airways

This was the final leg of our trip; a single redemption from Doha to London in Club for 60,000 Avios each. There was no First availability – there was no Club availability when we first looked, but I set up an ExpertFlyer alert and was delighted when some opened up and I booked right away.… Read More Review: Doha to London in First on British Airways

Review: Hilton Doha – a shocking start and a suite end

We had booked a stop over in Doha to break up the journey home, and I chose the Hilton because they offered day rooms. The flight from Perth landed at about 0530, so I wanted to be sure that we could get into the room, take a shower and relax as soon as we arrived.… Read More Review: Hilton Doha – a shocking start and a suite end

Review: Perth to Doha on Qatar First Class

I am not going to lie – this flight was the one that I was most looking forward to. Qatar First class is one of the best out there, and it serves Krug champagne which retails at £250 a bottle, so that gives a marker of how much money is put into the product. There… Read More Review: Perth to Doha on Qatar First Class

Review: Melbourne to Perth with Qantas in Business Class

This is a fairly short review, as it was a fairly unremarkable flight. We started off in the lounge, which was pretty much like all the other Qantas lounges. It has great runway views. Everyone seems to be doing ‘retro jets’ at the moment! Boarding was called and we were amongst the first on. The… Read More Review: Melbourne to Perth with Qantas in Business Class

MisterAirmiles’ guide to 24 hours in Melbourne

How to get there? You’re probably going to be flying in to the city, so get on the SkyBus from outside the terminal. You can buy tickets at the kiosk or from the attendant, but buy online for a small discount. A return is about £15 and is valid for 3 months. You get a… Read More MisterAirmiles’ guide to 24 hours in Melbourne
