First Look: Aerotel Transit Hotel, Singapore Changi Airport
May 04, 2016, 10:22 AMI actually stayed here on 6 April as I had an 8 hour transit time in SIN and I have to say I was disappointed with the overall experience. I paid SGD $105 for a room (which equated to AUD $105 when my credit card statement arrived). This gave me 6 hours of use. I could have opted for a lowe...

Free Star Alliance Gold status match from Avianca Brazil
Jan 05, 2016, 01:47 PMInteresting development to report.

Will Virgin Australia fly its flagship A330s from Brisbane to Perth?
