Qantas upgrading their A380s

Qantas is in the process of upgrading their fleet of 12 Airbus A380s.

They took delivery of their first A380 as early as 2008, so the oldest one has already been in service over 11 years, so I guess an upgrade was needed. I just can’t believe the A380 has been around this long, I still remember the first time I saw an A380 at the Dubai Airshow, it feels like it was only a couple of years ago…

Hong Kong – Clark with Cebu Pacific economy class

This is a flight I have done lots of times this year, as I go to visit my kids living in the Philippines as often as I can, so therefore just a very quick review.

Cebu Pacific has their check-in counters in Hong Kong terminal 1, Isle D. Coming off a nightshift I brought my bags with me straight from work to the check-in counter, and did the check-in about 90 minutes before scheduled departure.

1 night in Macau

As I say in the about part of this blog, a big part of the reason for me making this is to log my own personal memories of my travels. I have done a lot of travels in the past, and I am realizing that the memories are getting blurred and mixed, and details as not nearly as clear as they used to be. In addition, a lot of the photos i have taken have been lost in computer crashed, or they are in a folder with 17.000 other unsorted pictures and never gets looked at.

Hotel Review – Holiday inn Cotai, Macau

When I was in Macau previously I signed up for the Sands Rewards, and about a month ago I received a text message saying “Oct FREE room offers: Stay in Macau Cotai Strip Holiday Inn 1 night in Weekday. First come first served. T&C Applies” followed by a phone number to call. I called directly and asked for a room on one of my days off in October, and was asked if I wanted a single bed or two beds. I asked for a single bed, and was advised there was none available, but 2 beds was, which I then asked to book. I was then told the booking was confirmed, and the call was terminated. I did find it a bit strange that I did not get any confirmation number, no text and no email with the reservation, so was a bit worried if I actually had a room or not.
