Have you ever flown across the world and never said hello or good day to your seatmate? I know it happens way too often, but sometimes I wonder do you at least make small talk and say hi first, or do you just oddly make eye contact at each other for hours on end? We sit there and secretly judge our seatmates based on their smell, appearance, dress, what they are listening to on their MP3s, reading on their Tablets, or what movie they are watching on the IFE. Yet rarely, do most people ...

The Skyclub Manila is probably the most dated and one of the worst International Delta Skyclubs in the system.

Despite this, the Manila Skyclub is lacking all allure. The Manila Skyclub dates back to ...
