Day 2: DUI (Detox, Unwind and Invigorate) at Kamalaya Thailand
After having decided to Detox, Unwind and Invigorate (DUI) at Kamalaya, I settle in to enjoy it. So much so, that my Day2 blog is several days later! The best thing I can say about the experience.
Day 1: DUI (Detox, Unwind and Invigorate) at Kamalaya Thailand
We all need to Detox, Unwind & Invigorate ourselves. If you haven't decided to, do! If Thailand fits into your plans, go to Kamalaya in Koh Samui. This is day1 of my weeklong stay, so you have pre-arrival Tips & my first amazing experience.
Smooth Silk Air flight but a not so smooth arrival at Koh Samui
A smooth Silk Air flight, but a not so smooth arrival experience at Koh Samui airport. Used krisflyer miles for the ticket & tried the iChangi app for the first time. Great service & food onboard. To prepare for Koh Samui arrival, read on.
Arrival Lounges – how they help & the best access
When arriving after a long flight, early morning in a place away from home & the hotel lets you check in only at 2pm, what do you do? Many options with the new trend of Arrival lounges. Check what your premium status gives you, else sign up for new services like Plaza Premium, else go to your hotel and change in the gym. One more choice - what you can do on the plane, but you need to read my post to learn that!
Krisflyer – the superb Singapore Airlines frequent flyer program
Choosing the right Frequent Flyer program can be one of the best decisions you make! Living in Singapore, using Singapore Air's Krisflyer program is natural, but it has shown me a lot about how to maximise my "mile" buck. Also has a live comparison of 2 major airlines on how much to spend to get a free ticket. Have a read
Which website to use – the airline or a travel site?
How should you book plane tickets - though the airline website or travel sites that aggregate? In the last 12 months I flew 11 times and used the a travel site only once, and that too with a bad experience that took me off them. See my Top Tips.
The new world of airline upgrades
Being well dressed, charming and a premium passenger will get you some upgrades, but there are new ways of getting one. Check if the airline offers airport upgrades (cash is always cheaper than a normal business fare, some also allow using miles). Airlines directly, and also through external websites allow you to bid for upgrades, again at much less than the actual difference in fare.
Bombay Airport and Air India
I was on a biz trip to Bombay from Singapore and also visited my family in Delhi on the way back. I experienced Air India economy & biz, Singapore, Bombay & Delhi airports, and transits to and from home to these airports. My Top Tips give you an idea & the blog tells you more about the journey. Enjoy!
Short Report: Delhi Airport And Air India
Few days ago, I flew back with the family from Delhi to Singapore on an Air India Dreamliner. As usual I forgot something before we started (the printouts of tickets we need before entering terminals in India). Used the valet for the first time after check in. On board did my good deed of helping honeymooners sit together by giving up my aisles seat for one in the middle. Hope God was watching!
