Ethiad Airways was a big disappointment for me. I was looking forward to flying Etihad after seeing the reviews and viewing the TV advert with Nicole Kidman, but it sure did not live up to my expectations. Especially with regards to food and service at the airport and onboard the flight. I flew business class…

St. Anton: Great skiing and Apres Ski. Worth a visit for Sure.
I have just come back from a week of skiing in St. Anton and I must say that I loved it. Sankt Anton got its name in the 1930’s when a lot of Austrian ski instructors immigrated to America to try and popularize the sport and they sure did. Many Americans still visit St Anton…
Zermatt -A magical city with great skiing and amazing backdrops..
Zermatt is one of the most famous and exclusive ski resorts of the world – for a good reason. The Matterhorn is the world’s most photographed mountain. As you will probably already know, the Matterhorn is also the logo for Paramount films. The town is quaint and magical with 5 star hotels and an array of good…
The St Regis Nusa Dua is Fabulous as is Bali.
It is a 16 hour flight from the UK to Bali. Emirates now flies to Denpasar, so it could be a good idea to break up the journey and fly there via Dubai to reduce the jet lag. When describing Bali all I can say is “wow” what a beautiful place especially for it’s natural beauty…
How would I describe Dubai? “Simply Addictive”.
How would I describe Dubai: one word comes to mind “Simply addictive”. I have been going to Dubai now for over ten years and I still love it now as much I did when I first visited. Why? Because you know what to expect and it feels like home away from home. It is a…
Westin Kaanapali Ocean resort Hawaii. Beware of the OWNERS!! Hawaii was great though!!
After hearing about Hawaii over the years and watching Magnum and Hawaii Five-O, it had always been a place on my bucket list to visit. I was not looking forward to the 18 hour flight so broke up the journey via Los Angeles. On arriving at Maui airport we were greeted with Hawaiian music and…
Qatar Airways: Have the “Je ne sais quoi”
I have been flying Qatar Airways for a few years now and I have to say they have the “je ne sais quoi” factor. Everything is just that little bit better than with all the other airlines. Let me start with the lounge at Heathrow airport. As you enter the lounge you are met with…
St Regis Bal Harbour: Love hate Relationship
I have to say at the beginning of this blog that I am not a big fan of Miami. Even though the weather is fabulous, it is really a little bit run-down for a US state. The airport is probably one of the worst in the world for international flights. My anecdotal evidence is that…
British Airways- To fly to Serve. Do they even know what that means??
Oh British Airways where do I start. I have been flying BA for many years and the best thing about British Airways is terminal 5 at Heathrow airport and the shops on offer. I think that’s about it. Let’s start with the lounge at terminal 5. The staff greeting you on the…
Badly behaved children in Airport Lounges & Restaurants.
I was brought up to believe that children should be seen and not heard, especially when taken to grown up places. My daughter is 4 years old and a lot of people compliment me on how well behaved she is in public. That’s because if you put the work in at a young age and…
