TAP Air Portugal Traipse

Decided to spend my last night at this property because I’d get more time to check out the airport offerings in general, plus I’d get to skip off to check out the giant Boeing 747 parked at Coredon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, accessible via the hotel’s free shuttle bus from the airport.

TAP Air Portugal Traipse

I was very happy to finally get to Amsterdam after being rebooked to the next day – successfully landed. Yay! But this Marriott property did not grant my request for a 1-night waiver despite the extraordinary circumstances so boo.

TAP Air Portugal Traipse

It was a rather difficult process selecting my hotel in Lisbon because I had only 1.5days in the city so I had to pick a convenient spot to maximise my time. And that’s how I ended up picking this rare choice of property with no club lounge.

It actually wasn’t easy to decide on this spot for my 11hr layover as I really wanted to try more atas Bonvoy properties but I eventually came to my senses and decided its not worth since I wasn’t even going to spend that much time in the room anyway.

This Ritz Carlton has been on my list for a while and I was super happy that my 85k redemption works for this property (base room cost 65k and the next tier was over 100k so there was no middle tier). Excited to experience an immediate comparison after 2 nights in Westin too.

[Trip Planning] OneWorld Sapphire Fun-venture

So I finally got my One World Sapphire (OWS) status after completing the Trip.com x Japan Airlines Sapphire Fast Track. While I am happy to finally see my status reflected, there were issues with Japan Airlines telling me that my Sapphire status is only valid until 31 March 2025 versus the campaign’s official T&C of 31 Dec 2025 – a 9 months difference! Eventually it got sorted out (and hopefully stays that way!), I figured why not start planning to try out my newly minted status.
