Every now and then you’ll find us together somewhere around the world. This trip ended up in Sofia, Vaduz, Stuttgart and Munich because we suffered from indecision paralysis. Some fun stories along the way, though.
DLD 173: Where not to stay in Singapore
- December 28, 2017
- Tagged as: business class, hotels, Polaris, singapore, Trip Report, United, United Airlines
Jetlagged and in a crazy hotel room is not quite the ideal trip Fozz and Stephan were hoping for on this Singapore trip but things don’t always work out the way you plan.
Computers are creating challenges for airlines and hotels these days. But it still isn’t a “glitch.” Another airline is disappearing and the CSeries may be flying further south than previously expected.
A Premium Economy (almost), potential changes to a premium points program and a premium layover city share the stage in this week’s episode.
