PHI: Philippine Airlines PR508 (Economy)

Image
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. Indeed, this travel series marks my very first Down Under experience. While Melbourne can be reached directly from Singapore, I set off in the opposite direction first, heading to Manila, the Philippines with the oldest commercial airline in Asia.

VIE: Le Saigon Hotel

Image
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.

JPN: All Nippon Airways NH833 (Business)

Image
NRT-SGN (6h 35m) Boeing 787-9 ETD:  7.10pm  (GMT + 9) ETA: 11.45pm (GMT + 7) A long-awaited first for me, flying with ANA in the Business Class cabin allowed me to receive a final dose of omotenashi (Japanese concept of wholehearted hospitality) as I left the country. The flight from to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam wasn't that long, but it offered the perfect introduction to the airline's refined service philosophy.
