Continuing with my UN-Trip report, and trip around the world, here is a quick review of Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge in Kuala Lumpur.
For those of you that may be unaware, Malaysia Airlines (MH) has just joined oneworld. This means that you have many more options to Malaysia and much more capacity throughout the continent. Based in Kuala Lumpur, the airline has several A380s, some European destinations, and only one in North America, LAX. Most ...
Fares to Brazil usually go for $600-1200 from the US depending on your departure city. It is unheard of at these rates that tend to be about 40% off!
Some samples that are being tossed around are:
Orland-Rio $388
New York-Rio $500
Miami-Rio $410
So I thought I would try my hand at it. It seems to be lately that WAS (all Washington DC airports - DCA, IAD, BWI) have had crazy fares. I have seen $380 to Moscow, $400 ...
Concluding my previous posts about being suddenly ticketless and stranded in Malaysia, here is the dramatic close. If you want to catch up you can read the posts here part 1, part 2, part 3, or you can read the entire post in one sitting (aren't you brave) right... here.

None of this was due to our mistake fare pricing or ticket. Here again are the choices before us:
• If we find a way to Yangon (there are three flights that ...
Picking up on my UN-Trip report from last week, here is some more of the story.
It is important to understand the layout here at Kuala Lumpur International Airport(s). Elsewhere in the world it makes more sense to have separate discount (LCCT - Low Cost Carrier Terminal) and conventional terminals (MTB - Main Terminal Building). What many airports do when they expand, is instead of building the new airport across town from the convenient old airport, they build on the same ...
Me: "So you are telling me we are stuck in Asia with no way home back to the US?"
Agent: "I'm sorry sir, there is nothing I can do."
... And it's not even 6AM, Sunday morning.
Welcome to the UN-Trip Report
The way this usually goes, I outline all of the reviews that comprised a recent trip. Each individual report is filled with photos and commentary regarding, food, amenities, annoyances, and clever quips; then each review I put in order ...
