Can anyone guess where to? Below are pictures of my journey — one picture for each “segment” of my trip from Phuket. I’m pretty sure this is the most beautiful place on earth, or at least very close.
Who else tries to figure out who’s an award passenger in international first class?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past six years of being a frequent flyer, it’s that you really shouldn’t judge what cabin people are flying in based on their age, appearance, etc. Back when I was 15 and top tier elite with United, I remember…
Four Continents and 37,000 Miles in Two Weeks: Conclusion
Trip Report Index If you’ve read this far you’re a trooper. Suffice it to say I had an amazing trip. I loved visiting Melbourne, Vienna, and Kuala Lumpur. I definitely want to return to Melbourne and Vienna soon. I’m happy to have seen…

Putting Things Into Perspective: My Visit To A Turkish Police Station
I recently wrote about my unfortunate stopover in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Many of you commented about the part where my phone was taken from me, and where I fortunately got it straight back. Reader Michael commented that this experience must have soured…
Kim Jong-un’s Old Plane May Force Trump To Meet Him In Mongolia
With a meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un potentially imminent (though highly subject to change), there are lots of things that have to be worked out. The leaders haven't yet agreed on where they'll meet, though clearly the place they choose…
My Bad Rental Car Luck In The Seychelles
There are many areas in life where I feel like I'm really lucky, and end up having fewer problems than others do. Then there are areas where I feel like I consistently have problems when others don't. Specifically, I'm talking about rental cars and taxis.…
A Series Of Unfortunate Events: My Ethiopian Stopover
Last year I needed to fly from Johannesburg to London. I considered using miles to fly Etihad business class, but decided to try and find something more interesting and exotic. Searching availability using LifeMiles, there was an option to fly Ethiopian…
Air Seychelles & Etihad A330 Business Class In 10 Pictures
Hello from the Seychelles! On Saturday night we flew from Paris to Mahe on a flight that was supposed to be operated by Air Seychelles. However, Air Seychelles is discontinuing their longhaul flights, and on top of that decided to return their A330s…
How To Maximise A 24 Hour Stopover
Most airlines will allow you to stop in a city between flights for up to 24 hours without paying extra, whether this is on a revenue or award ticket. They consider this more of a transit than stopover so do not penalise you. Some airlines even encourage…
Phuket-BKK-MUC, driving to FRA, FRA-MCO?
I have to agree with bmvaughn. The view, the Mercedes and the VW…
Somewhere in the Bavarian Alps?
Salzburg perhaps.
HS-TKH BKK-MUC, connecting to LH D-AIQK to Munich, driving to the Alps?
Or Innsbruck, but that wouldn’t be such an exiting destination. (My 0.02)
Phuket – BKK with TG
BKK-FRA with TG
FRA – MUC with LH
Merc to Berchtesgaden?
Austria. If you’re there Lucky, try making it towards Villach/Klagenfurt/bad kleinkerkheim in Carinthia/Kartern. 2-hour drive but well worth it…the beauty once there is breath-taking.
HKT-BKK. Clearly.
BKK-CDG. Thai regularly flies the Jet Airways 777 to CDG and NRT, at least assuming there wasn’t an aircraft swap. And since you were in first, I’ll assume you planned for the 777 and didn’t luck into it. And since you were connecting to Lufthansa and not, say, ANA…
CDG-MUC. You’re connecting to LH in CDG so it’s MUC or FRA, and you ain’t driving around Frankfurt.
What do I win?
HKT-BKK-CDG-MUC and than drive to Berchtesgaden
Ich schätze das ist die Straße zum Intercontinental Berchtesgaden. Ich hoffe du bekommst ein gutes Upgrade. Das Hotel ist da nicht sehr spendabel.
The last image was taken from the inside of the front passenger seat of a Mercedes. I don’t think lucky knows how to drive, and while this blog has many readers, I don’t think that he (quite yet =]) has the cash to go around Europe chauffered in a luxury car, so he must be visiting family in Germany.
I forget where is family is from — I think he mentioned having family all over the country — but I would be more inclined towards Munich since he’s reviewed hotels in Frankfurt before.
Contra my earlier comment though and while I’m still guessing final segment is CDG-MUC, of course LH serves not jsut FRA/MUC from CDG but also DUS/HAM/TXL… hadn’t had my coffee yet =)
Not Iceland, what a shame…
Hmm.. third photo kind of reminded me of GVA
Look like the 308 between Sonthofen and Bad Hindelang
