Travelling King - Finance Planner turning holiday dreams into a reality!

Luxury Travel

Luxury travel is generally associated as something expensive and only for the super-rich, but it doesn’t mean that you actually need to take a loan out or a apply for a credit card to get access to five-star experiences.

The trick is finding a travel destination that provides luxury experiences and of course a destination that offers great deals. Don’t forget, luxury travel can mean different things to different people. If you’re a millionaire, then luxury travel is going to be a heck of a lot different than it is for us every day Joe’s. At the end of the day, if you put your mind to it and save your pennies, you can enjoy luxury experiences such as a honeymoon in the Maldives, hiring a helicopter in Iceland, hire a private yacht in Greece – the possibilities are endless!

Having a background in finance, it means that I can provide tips on how to enjoy luxury travel and how to save your pennies to meet your goals and dreams.

Business Class review of Singapore Airlines - Guangzhou to Singapore

Business Class review of Singapore Airlines – Guangzhou to Singapore

Flight review of Guangzhou to Singapore Flight time: approx 4 hours Plane type: Boeing 777-200ER Seats: 11H & 11K Check in: Check in was quick and easy, we got to go through the skip the line which was nice as there was a nice long line. There was a "skip the line" for customs and security as well when flying business class. SilverKris lounge/Premium lounge: We had access to the Premium lounge (just after immigration) in the Guangzhou airport which I found to be very nice. At first we were a little confused as it seems to have several entry points but each time we walked past Singapore Airlines was not on the list (and we didn’t want to look silly), we finally “took the plunge” and walked up to the counter where we were warmly greeted. In the middle of the lounge is a nice selection of food and…
