Singapore
May 9th, 2009
Today I am off to Singapore with a good friend of mine. We get our usual driver to the airport from Monarch Corporate Hire -- Bill always gets us there on time. We get dropped off at the curb and head in to the first class international check-in at Melbourne’s Tullemarine Airport (www.melbourneairport.com.au). This check in is the easiest I have ever been through. Once we make our way through the duty free section, that they seem to force you through on your way out, we hopped on the elevator up to the first class lounge for Qantas. We tried to get ourselves ready for the long flight head by way of a massage but the spa was booked up for the rest of the day. Oh well, maybe next time…
Pattaya, Thailand
March 10th, 2009
Everyone met up in St. Kilda first thing in the morning to get in our town cars from Monarch Corporate Hire to head to Tullamarine Airport for yet another adventure. These guys are great and really are excellent with the wheelchairs. This time we head to Pattaya, Thailand. Our check in at Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport went fast and smooth. Especially for having 3 guys in chairs all flying together. We make a quick hop on Qantas to Sydney, which is only about an hour and a half. Then we change planes there with plenty of time and get on a British Airlines 747 for Bangkok. The flight takes all about 9 hours for this leg.
Hong Kong
May 3-11, 2007
I Left Geneva for London on to Hong Kong. Once again the TSA's at Geneva Airport push me right through and give me the rock star entrance. The British Airways (www.ba.com) flight to London was cushy and really comfy. The crew was really cool and helpful. I was on an Airbus A-320 which worked out well using a straight back to get me on and off. The first class lounge in London for American Airlines rocks! I grabbed some food... and boy, does a 20 minute massage help your flight and attitude. There is a whole lot of shopping in London Heathrow Airport (www.heathrowairport.com). It is like a shopping mall there and with a 5 hour layover I figured I would wander around. A lot of high end shops like Omega watches and Dolce and Gabanna.
