Copenhagen – Doha with Qatar Airways Boeing 777 ‘old’ business class

So this was the most disappointing part of the trip, when I made the booking the flight showed with Q-suites, but about 2 weeks before departure I got an email saying there has been change of equipment, and looking at the seat map I realized we were to fly in a Boeing 777 with the ‘old’ business class.

The kids enjoyed anyways 😀

2020 look-ahead

As I have just completed my 2019 review, I am realizing how far behind I am in my collecting of memories of my travels last year, so this year I will really try to speed up the posting.

The Shells Spa and Resort, Phu Quoc

Although I have been able to complete some of the posts I was planning to, I see that the job ahead of me is quite tremendous, as I am just starting to realize how much time it takes to just make one post. Good thing is that I don’t have a lot of travels planned in the coming month, so I should have some time to try to get up to speed…

2019 in Review

Sunset in Phu Quoc

As the last sunset of 2019 has taken place, it is time to summarize the last years adventures.

After my move to Hong Kong in September 2018 and me finishing my On The job Training in January 2019 I have again been attacked by the travel bug, and I did spend a lot of time traveling, but not as much to new places as I had wanted to – with my kids living in the Philippines I spend most of my time off visiting them, but there has also been time for a few trips to other places.

Review: The Parisian Hotel, Macau

As I wrote about in my 1 night in Macau post a few weeks back, I have joined and earned quite a lot of points with Sands Rewards, and this has given me the possibility of free stays with the Sands Group in Macau. I therefore grabbed the chance for the free stay, and called the reservation hotline as soon as I was back from Macau, and asked for a night stay at the Venetian hotel. Unfortunately that was not available, but they offered me a choice between The Parisian of the Sheraon instead, and I then choose The Parisian, as it looks really impressive from the outside.

Stockholm – Oslo with SAS business class

This will be the shortest installment of this tripreport, as there really wasn’t much to report from this flight 🙂

SE-REU, our Boeing 737-7 for the day.

We had arrived in Stockholm on time with Qatar Airways, and quickly passed through immigration before we proceeded to the departure gate. We only had 90 minutes in transit, so we had a quick snack to eat, and then boarding was about to begin.
