Flying from Guam to Manila seemed like heaven after a long flight from California to Hawaii and an even longer non-eventful flight from Hawaii to Guam. I was #5 on the upgrade list as Premier Platinum with only 3 seats open in first, so I knew there was almost no way my upgrade was going to clear.

Upon landing in Guam, I headed straight to my departure gate, for my plane was already boarding and was technically supposed to depart 5 minutes earlier. However due to the delay of the ...

It only took me nearly nine months, but I have finally published my trip report to São Paulo Guarulhos/Cumbica International airport (GRU) in Brasil after journeying down there in January.

First, arriving at LAX I parked my motorcycle and headed to the Premier check-in within Terminal 6. Since ...

I have finally made it to the bustling metropolis of Kota Kinabalu and I must say I’m extremely happy to be able to finally relax! Over the next two weeks I am going to explore Borneo and take in as much high-flying adventures as I can!

I am going to spend a couple of days here exploring the city and the islands off the coast. Tunku Abdul Rahman National park is an archipelago just off the cost of KK and offers top notch diving, snorkeling, and animal and bird spotting. ...
