On Friday I wrote about how I'm soon headed to the Park Hyatt Maldives, despite not really having a great reason to do so.
Park-Hyatt-Maldives
The Maldives isn't an easy destination to get to. First you have to fly to Male Airport, which is a bit of a haul, and then from there you have to take a seaplane and speedboat transfer to the actual hotel.
While I booked my hotel a while back, I'm just now trying to decide how to book my tickets to/from the Maldives. I've ultimately decided to fly into/out of Colombo, Sri Lanka. This is for a few reasons:

A few days ago Etihad Airways announced that they'd begin flying the Airbus A380 between Abu Dhabi and New York as of December 1, 2015.
While Emirates has well over 100 A380s on order, Etihad has only ordered a total of 10 of them, and will be flying them exclusively between Abu Dhabi and London, Sydney, and New York. Etihad's A380s are truly one-of-a-kind, in that they feature amazing First Class Apartments.
I had the opportunity to fly the Etihad A380 inaugural flight from Abu Dhabi to London late last year, and was blown away by the hard product. The First Class Apartment is unlike any first class hard product I've ever seen.

"I have never believed that book writing needs to be all-consuming. It wasn’t for Toni Morrison writing The Bluest Eye at night after her kids went to bed and let’s face it, we’re not likely to produce anything like The Bluest Eye no matter how much time we spend writing. Books are projects like any other. Incidentally, you can make time for the rest of your life too. I’m always amused by the lines in book acknowledgements in which authors (generally, male authors) thank their families for putting up with all their missed dinners. Not only am I not missing dinner, I’m generally cooking it."
Here’s your chance. I will my best to cover them. Please leave requests in the comments section. As my boss once wrote making a similar request on his blog, “The only promise is that of weak monotonicity, namely that your mention won’t lower the chance of the topic being covered.” In other words, I won’t […]

Back in the Fall I started to write about a legal case surrounding miles and points where I served as an expert witness. The case had concluded, and the attorney who engaged me gave me signoff to post about it, with my commitment not to include any names. At the time we both thought it […]

Etihad debuted the most over the top product offerings of any airline with the launch of their first Airbus A380. There’s the three room ‘Residence’, just one per flight that hosts two passengers (a living space, bedroom, and private bathroom) as well as the ‘First Apartment’ which is the most spacious first class seat in […]

Greetings from my favorite country! I’m in Australia for a few days (no public events this time—just writing and enjoying paradise). And here’s a tip: my favorite country can be a little expensive. Consider it a tax on paradise, but just about everything you purchase may seen a tad high if you’re coming from the states. Oh, and many parts of the country are still waiting for the internet to arrive—but presumably that’s improving. Domestic flights within Australia can be pricey too, but there’s a great alternative option: redeem American Airlines miles for flights on Qantas.The Airspace Lounge opened last summer. There are (4) ways to access the lounge, which encompasses pretty much everyone: There’s no more American Airlines Admirals Club in San Diego, but Admirals Club members have access to the Airspace Lounge and indeed there’s an agent at the desk who can assist as though you were in […]
