For my return flight to Singapore from Japan, I managed to secure a redemption on JAL through Alaska Mileage Plan, from Osaka Itami (ITM) to Singapore (SIN) with an overnight stopover in Tokyo. While a slightly roundabout way to get home, I did not mind the overnight in Tokyo as well, as it would give…
Review: Scoot 787-8 ScootPlus (SIN-KIX)
For my recent post-reopening trip to Japan, I opted to hop on a Scoot flight to Osaka Kansai. The main reason I chose this flight was because a good friend was part of the operating tech crew and had a two day layover in Kansai, so it was good opportunity to catch up and hang…
Review: EVA Air 787-9 Business Class (TPE-SEA)

Review: Singapore Airlines 737-8 Business Class SIN-HKT
I love trying new airlines hard products. When Singapore Airlines launched its new cabin products for the 737-8 or MAX 8 in November 2021, I immediately set out to plan a trip to try the new business class. While narrowbody business class products are nothing fancy, SIA appeared to have a done solid job of…
