Cebu Pacific resumes Clark–Hanoi — thrice-weekly from 19 November 2026

Cebu Pacific is putting Clark–Hanoi back on the map: thrice-weekly nonstops resume from mid-November 2026, with the first Clark departure on 19 November and the first Hanoi return on 20 November. For anyone based around Clark, Angeles or further through Central Luzon, that is a proper shortcut into northern Vietnam — Hanoi without the Manila detour.

UPS opens new international air hub at Clark International Airport, October 2026

So, UPS officially opened its new international air hub at Clark International Airport (CRK) on 15 October 2026, and as someone who spends a fair bit of time around Clark (family territory), this one caught my eye. It is a proper expansion of something that has been there for a long time — UPS has operated a hub at Clark since 2002 — and the numbers are quite something.

Milestone achieved – 1 million miles flown!

I have, to the best of my ability, been looging all the flights I have done over the years, and just notied now that I have recently passed the 1 million miles milestone! Traveling has always been a passion of mine, and it has taken me to a lot of places, and created a lot of memories and experiences. Unfortunately, I have also lost a lot of memories in hard drive crashes over the years, which is one of the main reason I started this blog – mainly to have a safe place where I can keep my memories!

Philippine Airlines to start Clark – Hong Kong flights.

I did not see this coming (at least not as the first airline to (re)-start this route, but Philippine Airlines will start operating Clark – Hong Kong three times weekly from December 9th. This is the first time (to my knowledge) that they will be operating this route. Pre-covid it was operated twice daily by Cebu Pacific and once daily by Dragonair, so I am sure the demand it there.

Review – Emirates Boeing 777ER Clark – Dubai business class

So, leaving the house at 17:00 we quickly arrived at the airport, where check-in was quickly completed after passing through the first set of security screening. At check-in we also got a voucher for our free stop-over in Dubai, we had been allocated Le Meridien hotel, which is just across the street from the terminal, so I decided we would have to use that as well, as long as we arrive on time. We then proceeded to fill in immigration forms for the kids, as they have Philippino passports, and then we had to clear immigration, before there is another security screening, and then we are finally in the boarding area.

After killing a little bit of time in the terminal, we were quickly starting boarding, and we were greeted by the door by one of the cabin crew, and showed to our seats, which were 7 D E F. Emirates operates with 7 seat abreast in Business Class on their Boeing 777s, in a 2-3-2 configuration, so this suited us well so we could sit together.

Introduction – Christmas in Norway 2019

We had already spent summer holiday in Norway this year (trip report here), and since it is far and expensive to travel there I was just planning on bringing the kids to Hong Kong for Christmas. However, I did put my leave dates into google flights and kept an eye on the price, and when I found some surprisingly cheap tickets with Emirates in business class I decided to bring them to Norway for Christmas, and hopefully see some snow :
