Fraud Alert: I ordered a printer ink from Amazon. Seller is Appario so not some obscure entity. They are selling the product and invoicing at more than the printed MRP which is not legal. @amazonIN has no option to provide feedback so hope they take notice here. @jagograhakjago

I think I booked an @emirates flight for the last time till they change their cabin bag policy. It’s just not practical as a business traveller to choose between your cabin bag and your 💻 bag on a long haul flight. You could put the 💻 in the cabin bag but there is a 7kg limit.

was a different kit for he/ she in the return flight. Amongst other things it included a parfum bottle which was confiscated by my son. In summary, the entire experience was much more than I expected and definitely a splurge I recommend for a special occasion. (n/n)

you will be in your lounge chair (we decided to explore the jewel enroute which is not to be missed and in fact there is enough to do for a full day out there). We got a different amenity kit on both routes. While it was the same for me and wifey on the Del-Sin sector, it (9/n)

I almost missed the separate entrance that SA has for first class and suite passengers. The check-in experience is just like a luxury hotel check-in. There is a separate security check which opens up just in front of the lounges. In about 10-15 mins of reaching the airport (8/n)

you can order and the chef will cook it for you. The Suite lounge has a 5 star restaurant kind of setup. There is no spread. Instead you order from an elaborate menu. If you want to relax, they have proper hotel kind of rooms available that you can take up. On our way back, (7/n)

for the lobster on both ways while wifey had a kebab platter. After landing, I decided to explore the lounge before heading to the city. SA has 3 lounges…business class, first class and suites. In first class you have an elaborate buffet menu and half a dozen dishes that (6/n)

The flight is just 5.5hrs and the whole 5 course dining experience leaves you just enough time to get a nap instead of a good nights sleep. Apart from the elaborate menu that you can choose from in advance, you can also book an onboard chef. I went (5/n)

There are 6 suites in total and 2 pairs (1A,2A and 1F,2F) convert into double bed suites. Availability of the double suite was one of the considerations on selecting the travel date. SA operates 2 flights out of Del everyday and only one is an A380 which has the suites (4/n)

could book return flights for 2 in Suites. #ccgeek For the Del-Sin sector, SA provided access to the Air India FC lounge (which btw has been spruced up on F&B after takeover by Tata’s) The Suites were also upgraded in 2017 and SA flies the latest on this sector (3/n)

Initially, I was able to save enough points (thru the milestones and bonuses) for 2 one-way Suite tickets (98k pts reqd for each ticket on “Advantage”) and return by economy but thanks to @drgrudge’s coaching, I could find “Saver” tickets which only required 57k pts and I (2/n)

#BucketList @SingaporeAir #A380 #Suites Del-Sin-Del experience. #avgeek SA first launched their Suites on the A380 in Oct 2007 and it immediately found a place on my bucket list. My heartfelt thanks to #AxisMagnus who made this wish possible thru their generous pts (1/n)

A fantastic curated event by @All featuring Atul Khatri @one_by_two. Everything was immaculately planned. Was pleasantly surprised by the choice of drinks being served and the all Asian food spread (very high end). Nicely rounded up with a gift hamper. Hope Accor does many more.

While discussions progress on whether to take Magnus Burgundy, I am struggling to find reasons to stay with Magnus. Vouchers are severely devalued. Last 3 times they have reverted with no availability of meet and greet at airport (and it required a follow up call to get (1/2)
