11 best luxury hotels in Singapore [2022 Guide]

May 11, 2022, 03:14 PM

We stayed at Raffles immediately before their renovation, part of the hotel was already closed and it was very quiet. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Yes, expensive but so far away from your typical 5-star hotel.

I wondered why the 380 showed up on that route in some recent flight searches. Thanks....

One of the really annoying things about the current Air NZ setup is that you face into the aircraft. What’s the advantage in that?
Qantas to fly non-stop between Melbourne and Dallas Fort Worth

So many comments here about LAX are based on what it used to be like. Granted I’ve only ever travelled through DFW on domestic flights (for which the airside train is fantastic) but LAX is vastly improved over the last few years. It’s not perfect but it’s not the hel...

I can't really add go the SC question but I have a place 10 minutes from John Wayne (SNA) and fly out of there on AA a lot. I generally fly to either Dallas or Chicago and connect from there. Phoenix is OK but there are more options via DFW.

Sad to say my time on this site has dropped off hugely since the changes. As much as I've enjoyed AusBT over the last few years this new site give little value, it's way to much weighted towards product placement and marketing dressed up as news items. I'm not after a lifestyle site, I'm after ...
