Firstly an update, the more keen-eyed and tech minded people may have noticed that the site did not transition to a secure site on Friday as originally planned. It is currently scheduled for Tuesday but I will confirm on Monday whether there will any new posts on Tuesday. Secondly, you…
I am generally a fan of A380s on the upper deck. It is about as close as we will get for the moment to the upper deck of a B747 which is one of my favourite ways to fly. Add that to Qatar’s great onboard bar and a fantastic ticket…
This is a review of my stay at the Corinthia Hotel London in November 2017. I have written about the Corinthia Hotel London many times on TLFL as it is one of my favourite hotels in London. This time I will be doing a more in-depth review of my stay as well…
