Happy Saturday! I started off the week in Sydney, where the weather was much improved from when I was there the week prior. I have a few days in the US to catch up on laundry before leaving for my Air India adventure, which should be quite interesting! Featured Stories American Airlines Just Served Me…

Thank you so much Lucky! I booked DUB-LHR-LAX-SMF in American business class on the 777-300ER and return in British Airways First Class on the A380 for only €2068 out of pocket. What a steal! This will be my first time flying any premium cabin (besides economy comfort) and I'm super duper excited! 2 years of reading trip reports here got my appetite for luxury travel instigated 😉 Your article: "Great Deal: Roundtrip Transatlantic Business Class For Under $1,000" is what set me off!
Hi Lucky! Talking about your upcoming trips... I know that you're heading to Colombia soon and knowing that you're an aviation geek and also sometimes visit things not because they are in 'Top 10 things to do in ...' list, here is my tip: do a shot hop to Cali from Cartagena! Yes, that means taking a flight on very crappy airline and Cali itself is the most boring town on Earth, but hear me out. Right next to the airport in Cali there is a Museo Aereo Fenix, which is a small museum of transportation. There are some planes in exhibition and model planes, but the coolest thing of them all was a huge collection of forks and knifes and spoons from various airlines, from various times. I think that might interest you, as most of your pictures include cutlery from planes 😉 Also, people who run the museum all speak perfect english and are not only very knowledgeable but also aviation geeks to the core bone themselves. We visited this museum by chance and it was hard to leave it! We talked with the owner for hours. All of the planes on show in the museum ar still working and he piloted most of them.
If you have a day to spare, do a hop to Cali and visit this museum, you don't even need to sleep in Cali for that. Check their opening hours before, so you don't build your flights around when they're closed or on break. Taxi drivers know how to get there from the airport, it's a 5-10 minute drive.
You're going to the US to do your laundry?
I normally head to South East Asia to do mine... in most non-Starwood places they do it my the kilo.
