[Trip Planning] Etihad ‘E’dventure 2026

This trip was planned 7 months ago due to my lingering regrets over my stillborn Etihad Apartments trip which was supposed to happen in 2020 until COVID killed it (I never got over it!). Then came along my re-planned Auckland trip which was also cancelled last year – I was redeeming my SQ Advantage ticket and randomly picked Bangkok as an additional trip since it cost the same amount of miles anyway.

I was scheduled to arrive in Abu Dhabi on 27 Feb 2026, spend 2 days in the city, then depart on 02 March 2026 early morning flight. And I guess we all know how the trip turned out.

I am super thankful to Etihad for putting me on a repatriation flight after an extra 2 nights during these crazy times and felt like I needed to document my experience, even the ones I managed to experience as a contrast to how fast things spiralled into madness.

[Hotel Review] JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok

On By Satu KosongIn Bangkok, Executive Club Lounge, Holiday, JW Marriott, Marriott Bonvoy, ThailandLeave a comment

My first trip back to this city after COVID!

It was an atas sibling trip this time and of course I had to clock in more Bonvoy elite nights. I have to say that the Bonvoy options in this bustling city can be overwhelming and I decided on this property due to the fact that its recently renovated, offers decent proximity to the BTS Stations, the great reviews I saw while researching, plus a later evening cocktail timing (until 9pm) which I needed as my flight will only be landing in BKK at 1700. Onwards to a great stay!

[Hotel Review] Conrad Bangkok

On By Satu KosongIn Bangkok, Conrad, Executive Club Lounge, Hilton Honors, Holiday, Thailand2 Comments

When I realized my Amex KFA voucher was expiring in Dec 2019, I hatched a plan to use it without having to take leave. And the general consensus for the property to get the most value out of it is Conrad Bangkok.

But rooms look terribly dated then and I never ventured near since.

And so I thought it was timely that they have recently completed their extensive refurbishment so the stars were aligned.

[Flight Review] Singapore Airlines SQ970 Singapore to Bangkok Boeing 787-10 – Business

Decided to do this quick review after all even though I have already done a more detailed post on the same aircraft when I tried the product for the first time in June this year. You can catch up on the post here.

I was curious to see if the service would still be as stellar on a shorter flight time. So here goes a 2.5 hour J experience!
