When a cyclone in Sri Lanka forced us to divert our entire trip at the last minute, we didn’t expect to find ourselves in an Etihad Business Class cabin to Abu Dhabi. We were fortunate to trade our cancelled itinerary for a 40,000-mile American Airlines redemption each from Bangkok back to Doha through Abu Dhabi. How did it go? While the ground experience in Abu…
Flying the short 2.5 hour hop from Singapore to Bangkok can feel like a routine commute, but we found an amazing points deal and decided to make it an elevated experience. Was it worth it?
