If you’ve flown Cathay Pacific first class in the past year or so, you may have noticed that the PYE pajamas that they provide come with a gift tag offering a free gift if you go into any one of the PYE store locations in Asia. Since I was finally in Hong Kong, I redeemed…
Upon arrival at the Bangkok airport, I was greeted with a buggy to take me to the lounge or immigration. I originally had a relatively short layover, but Thai decided to cancel the BKK-HAN flight that I was on, so I had a pretty lengthy layover instead, so I ended up deciding to spend some…
