Winter trip in South Korea
South Korea is a very surprising country and Seoul is probably its best representative. This megacity hosts 10 million people, is the 3rd biggest city in the world and allows you to discover both water and earth sea aspects thanks to Han river and Namsan or Bagaksan mount. Seoul is also the place where we spend 5 days for a business trip in…

Peaceful night in Emirates Business Class
The Emirates miles loyalty program is good enough to allow you a free upgrade from Economy to Business after only one Economy return from Europe to Dubai, that’s why we took the occasion during our 2013 Middle-East Tour to flight from Dubai to Malé (Maldives) in Business with the few miles we had. First when you arrive at the airport you find…

Air France meets excellence in A380 First Class
Sometimes you don’t know what to do with your miles ; some complimentary Economy flights in Europe ? a round-trip Business flight between Paris and New York ? No, with Air France it definitely doesn’t worth it… In my view Air France miles are good only for complimentary A380 First Class tickets – maybe B777 too – or upgrades from…

Zen atmosphere at New Otani Tokyo
I booked my stay at the very last-minute (2 days before arrival) and was a bit afraid about this property. Indeed, the “Cherry Blossom” event is very famous in Japan and all luxury hotels were full since a long time… New Otani was the only one with available room and usually it is quite a bad omen ! However I…

Perfect flight in Air France La Premiere
Returning back to France from a business trip in Hong-Kong, I took the opportunity to upgrade my business class to first class – “La Première” – thanks to a special offer at 60.000 Flying Blue miles.
