5 different things to do in Las Vegas

Virgin Atlantic are not the cheapest airline for business class but there are a couple of reasonable deals to the West Coast currently on Ee Eu fares from Luxembourg. This is a handy ex EU departure point as BA Club Europe fares are normally very cheap for positioning. Watch the flights that you pick though, as some route via Manchester with Flybe which means you will miss out on the amazing Clubhouse lounge at London.

Melia hotels – up to 45% off

Melia The level infinity pool Alicante

We have stayed in quite a few Melia hotels including ME London, Melia Alicante, Gran Melia Madrid and more recently Melia Hanoi. I find their The Level club rooms very good.

As a MeliáRewards member, you will have exclusive access to 25% off all the Wonder Week hotels, plus the other discounts available to everyone else and offers such as kids stay free at selected hotels! Combined these offer a total of up to 45% off. The deals must be booked by 10 June 2019.

    ITA Matrix also showing ARN-HGK with QR £1395, is that a good price or should I wait??

    Taking my first ever J class flight tonight, so unbelievably excited and it’s all thanks to you guys @ TLFL. Doing an EX EU ARN-BKK with QR…..review to follow should you wish to use it.

      Matt
      That’s decent to HKG. Remember you would still have to fly from bkk to hkg anyway.
      We paid a bit more from arn direct to hkt. When we worked it out, the benefits of getting to hkt direct from doh were better.

      Enjoy, you will love it. Are you spending any extra time in Stockholm?

      I’m sure you will love it Matt. Yes that’s about as good as you will get to Hong Kong.

However, the chaotic traffic seems to miss everyone somehow! Hanoi was pretty much the same. #vietnam #scaryfact #hochiminh #hanoi #travellertips
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

The @hyattlondonstratford Hyatt Regency is situate The @hyattlondonstratford Hyatt Regency is situated right next to Westfield shopping centre and so many transport options from the DLR to Tubes to the Elizabeth line. It’s also on the edge of @queenelizabetholympicpark with a multitude of attractions to explore as well as restaurants with every type of food and some lovely terraces to dine on in this Indian summer.

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. Cheers! #britishairways #heathrow #martinitime🍸 #cocktailart #mrlyan #mixology #firstclass #luxurytravel
