  • 01/05/2024
  • Michele

Firstly, a thank you to all those who took the time to wish me well on the news that I am planning to sell TLFL. I’m hoping to continue writing for the website part-time, so hopefully, I won’t be going anywhere for a while!

In this post:

  • Best business class airfares
  • Luxury hotel offers
    • The Fifth Avenue in New York
    • Nobu Portman Square, London
    •  
    • The  Selman Marrakech
    • Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

Best business class airfares

I recently covered the BA sale here and some great airfares from Dublin to the US here. So I thought it was worth having a look at what else is out there. There are some good value fares to Australia and New Zealand with China Southern which we reviewed recently here.

Etihad has launched a sale from Europe including Paris and they have also started flying the A380 from Paris as well. This has business class studio seats and the onboard lounge as well as the wonderful First apartment, which I rate as one of the best first class seats.

    Head for points is much better for info , I find this website not as accurate

    1. Michele says:
      02/05/2024 at 8:04 am

      I’m sorry if the website you read completely free is not good enough. If you don’t like it don’t read it and if there is something you think is wrong you can just comment in a nice way on that article instead of general negativity. I will not miss all the nasty comments at all when I retire. In very few other jobs do you have to take negative and personal criticism constantly at work.

    Thanks for all the precious commentary Michele. You definitely match my tastes when it comes to what you value and I’ve not gone wrong with your hotel recommendations.

    That Swiss price to DXB is usually the preserve of ex-DUB. Amazing to see it from London; duly purchased.

      02/05/2024 at 1:03 pm

      Thanks James. glad you got a good deal.

    Well said Ben

    HFP is free it’s a much better website

    U need to work for the NHS then you will know about how much people get negative comments daily , the person who was against mask wearing during covid says it all !!!!! Good luck

    1. Michele says:
      02/05/2024 at 1:03 pm

      Well if it’s that great why are you on this website? Obviously it offers something or you wouldn’t bother. If you came here just to make nasty comments then that doesn’t say a lot about you. Seriously, why do people feel the need to just be unpleasant? What is wrong with you and your life that you feel the need to be so negative? You have no idea what someone may be going through in their personal life and how your words can be the final straw.

    2. Andy H says:
      05/05/2024 at 8:27 am

      Hugo is perhaps an explanation as to why the NHS is in such a perilous state state.

Brand new @anantararasalkhaimah overwater bungalow Brand new @anantararasalkhaimah overwater bungalows. You don’t have to go as far as the Maldives now to experience an overwater pool villa. Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE is only around 50 minutes from Dubai airport and a much calmer experience than the centre of Dubai. Great beaches and stunning mountains make this the nature Emirate. Other than that it is similar to Dubai in terms of high standards if service and alcohol is available in hotels. #pressstay #gifted #rasalkhaimah #uae🇦🇪 #luxuryhotel #luxurytravel #overwaterbungalow

I was taken by surprise by @queenelizabetholympicp I was taken by surprise by @queenelizabetholympicpark and Stratford. I went to review the @hyattlondonstratford Regency hotel but was surprised at how easy it was to get there and get around London so easily. There’s so much on the doorstep from the Westfield shopping centre to the @londonaquaticcentre where Tom Daley trains. There’s a huge restaurant scene here with every sort of cuisine you can think of. I loved all the outdoor terraces to. I ate at Alpine restaurant @haugenldn and was impressed with the range of dishes from wild mushroom rosti to fondue. There’s also a great roof terrace. My review of the Hyatt Regency is now on the blog. #gifted #stratfordlondon #westfield #olympics #paralympics #luxurytravel #foodporn #hyattregency
@british_airways has a fun new way to mix a martin @british_airways has a fun new way to mix a martini table side in their Concorde Room at Heathrow T5. Those flying in First class or holding Gold Guest List or Premier status can access the exclusive lounge. The machine precision weighs each ingredient in a special “Turbine” martini recipe from top class mixologist @mrlyan  Although the recipe calls for Aviation Gin you can substitute it for another gin or vodka. The cleverly designed mixer then mixes it to precision. Inside it looks just like a jet engine. You can finish with a twist of lemon or olives.
