This has been a really fun travel week for me, as I've spent the past few days on Garuda Indonesia and in Jakarta. I've wanted to try Garuda Indonesia first class for a long time, and that opportunity finally presented itself with a recent fare sale they had. I'm so happy I had the chance to try them, as their first class product is now possibly my favorite in the world. I'll have much more detailed trip reports about my experience coming shortly. Today I flew back from Jakarta to Singapore to London, so as an aviation geek, Saturdays don't get more fun than this!
On the miles & points/airline/hotel front it has been an eventful week as well. Alaska finally got the go ahead to proceed with their Virgin America takeover, Alaska miles can now be redeemed on Japan Airlines (and those redemptions are an exceptional value), United announced their first 777-300ER routes, and we've continued to see lots of great promos, including on the credit card front.
