Andrews Avenue, Ninoy Aquino International Airport  Terminal 1,  Manila, Philippines Daily: 24 hours Philippine Airlines operates its flagship Mabuhay Lounge at Terminal 1 of Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila. Stepping into the lounge was a much-needed break from the rather chaotic scene at the terminal. I really appreciated having a quiet space to grab a bite, recharge and gather my thoughts before the next flight to Sydney, Australia.

SIN-MNL (4h) Boeing 777-300ER ETD:  2.15pm  (GMT + 8) ETA: 6.15pm (GMT + 8) “What? You’ve never been to Australia?” was something I’d grown used to hearing up to the age of 35.

17 Dong Da Street, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Today's post marks the last one for 2025. I know it's been very slow moving, admittedly too slow for my own liking, but I'll try my best to continue sharing whenever pockets of time allow in this hectic pace of life. The last overnight stay in this particular trip was at Le Saigon Hotel (3*), which is about a 10-minute drive from Tan Son Nhat International Airport.
