    Review: Year of the Durian’s Malaysia Durian Appreciation Tour

    ByEdward February 20, 2018December 10, 2023

    I love durian. It is probably my favorite food in the world. And so when I heard that there would be a Year of the Durian tour around New Years in Malaysia and I didn’t have any other travel plans, I jumped at the opportunity. If you’re a durian fan, you may have encountered Lindsay’s blog Year…

    Review: Cathay Pacific Regional Business Class Boeing 777 DPS to HKG

    ByEdward February 19, 2018December 10, 2023

    Boarding for this flight was a bit of a mess. The stated boarding time for the flight was 3:25pm, but they didn’t start boarding until around 3:45pm, and there were no announcements about anything being delayed. In addition, the terminal at DPS isn’t super well air conditioned at some of the gates, so some of…

    Cashback Dominates Miles for Most People

    ByEdward February 19, 2018January 28, 2018

    Whenever people find out about my involvement in this “hobby”, one of the first questions that comes up is, “what credit card should I get?”, or some variant of that. And really, my advice to almost everyone is that they should just focus on cashback credit cards. 2% cashback is probably a better value for…

    Review: Plaza Premium Lounge KUL

    ByEdward February 18, 2018December 10, 2023

    The Plaza Premium Lounge at Kuala International Airport opened up relatively recently, but it’s a pretty standard Plaza Premium Lounge in Asia (that is to say, pretty solid for an international lounge that you can access via Priority Pass). There’s plenty of seating in the lounge, although the lounge was decently busy when I visited….

    Review: Malaysia Airlines Business Class A330-300 KUL to DPS

    ByEdward February 18, 2018December 10, 2023

    At KUL, departing and arriving passengers are mixed together, and there’s security at each gate. For this flight, there was only metal detector going for an entire A330, so we were actually delayed because people were still trying to get through security instead of boarding. The flight was originally scheduled to be a 737, but…

    Review: Malaysia Airlines Regional Golden Lounge KUL – Renovated

    ByEdward February 17, 2018December 10, 2023

    Malaysia Airlines is currently renovating their main lounges in KUL, and on a recent trip, I had the chance to stop by one of these renovated lounges, namely the Regional Golden Lounge. If you’re departing from KUL and want to stop by this flight, go to the left right after you pass security. There’s an…

    Review: Malaysia Airlines Business Class A330-300 PEK to KUL

    ByEdward February 17, 2018December 10, 2023

    I’ve flown Malaysia Airlines business class in the past, but this was a renovated business class cabin, so it was a huge improvement over the past hard product that I’ve flown. Instead of angled-flat seats, these are forward-facing fully-flat seats in an alternating 1-2-1 and 1-2-2 configuration. For this flight, I was seated in 6K,…

    Review: Japan Airlines (JAL) Business Class Boeing 737-800 NRT to PEK

    ByEdward February 16, 2018December 10, 2023

    Regional business class on Japan Airlines usually isn’t too exciting. There were three rows of business class in a 2-2 configuration of large recliner seats. The seats were comfortable with plenty of pitch. The seats themselves looked newly reupholstered, but the rest of the plane seemed a little old. (Apologies for the poor quality photos in…

    Review: Japan Airlines (JAL) Business Class Boeing 777-300ER LAX to NRT

    ByEdward February 16, 2018December 10, 2023

    I’d flown on JAL’s Boeing 777-300ER a couple of times in first class, but this was my first time flying this plane in business class. Overall, it’s a great product hard product for business class. My connecting flight to this flight was delayed, so my 1h 40m layover turned into a 40m layover, and I…

    Review: American Airlines Flagship Lounge Chicago O’Hare Airport (ORD)

    ByEdward February 15, 2018December 10, 2023

    I recently transited through ORD on my way back from Asia, and–to my surprise–I was handed an invitation to the Flagship lounge when I went to the Admirals Club. I am clearly a bad travel blogger for 1) not keeping up with AA’s Flagship lounge renovations and 2) not knowing what the access rules are…
