VICTORIA FALLS REVIEW, BUNGEE JUMPING AND MORE. A guide to possibly the most stunning place in the world

…huttle service, but the most connections are via Johannesburg. A number of airlines fly to and from there into Livingstone every day, including British Airways and SAA. A various times of the year the Rovos Rail service also goes to the Falls. Flights are busy, as most people tend to come in and out within 2 days and so the flights get very busy. You need a Visa to enter Zambia. Best to get this before you go, though you can get when you arrive. B…

Sao Paulo Things To Do When Visiting (Part 2)

…t at that time though. (2) GETTING THERE Many of the major European and US airlines fly direct to Sao Paulo with regular schedules. In recent years frequency has increased a lot, for example British Airways used to fly there about 3 or 4 times a week and now flies there at least once a day. One limiting factor though seems to be the Brazilian Air Traffic Control who seems to be fairly inflexible and subject to disputes and delays. There are restri…

Advice and Tips For First-Time Visitors to Cape Town

…Much further off if you’re coming from the U.S.A of course. Many European airlines fly direct to the city. If you can it is worth doing as from Johannesburg it is over a 2 hour flight alone, and internal flights are quite costly. It is not worth driving from Johannesburg as the drive is very long indeed, and not very scenic or interesting. One great way to get to Cape Town, if you are in the Johannesburg/ Pretoria area, and have a lot of cash, is…

…rld” alliance alongside carriers like British Airways, Qantas and American Airlines. This not only ensures that it has the “One World” alliance feeding passengers onto it extensive Asian route network out of Hong Kong, but also for members of the alliance it means they earn both frequent flyer miles for their preferred airline in the alliance but also “tier points” that are so important in terms of determining the status level and associated benef…

Taiwan Part 1: on my way

…rvice, food and drink options and entertainment choices are not as good as airlines like British Airways and Virgin Atlantic – they are pretty helpful and caring on board. They also seem to have a very good time keeping record (so maybe I will get that connection!) I will post a comment/ review about the flight and the service – and if I am feeling a bit cheeky take some pics of the seat/ bed and cabin. I am writing this posting in the First Class…

CHERBOURG AND REDOUBTABLE SUBMARINE: A REAL TREAT FOR TRAVEL BUFFS

…very much a part of the massive transatlantic crossing service, before jet airlines destroyed the regular scheduled transatlantic service as a means of mass travel, turning it into a luxury leisure activity that is dominated pretty much by Cunard. Now days, only around 10 or so cruise ships visit the port each year, and Cunard send their ships there once or so a year – usually as part of the 4 or 5 night short Euro hops they run each year designed…

Las Vegas Travel Tips. Including Hotels. Shows. Weather. Attractions.

…tel pricing based on supply and demand. I guess they use a system like the airlines, which assess prices and constantly adjust them. On this trip I was there for 6 nights at the Bellagio, and our Friday night rate was close to double some of the rates for earlier in the week. Sunday was our cheapest night as I suspect that this was a day when the weekend pleasure trippers had left and before the conference crowd started to arrive on the Monday. Re…

MSC Preziosa: Exploring The Difference Between a Great & Average Travel Experience

…ere are only really 2 commercial plane brands (Boeing and Airbus), and all airlines fly them. So while there are some differences on-board, the economy/ coach seats are all much the same, business class is all usually some type of flatbed seat and First has some form of privacy cabins or suites. The difference in a flight experience mostly lies in what the crew do on-board to make the experience feel great. The boom in the cruise market has meant…

Hilton JFK Airport Hotel New York Video Tour and Review

…e a while. It took me almost 50 minutes from leaving my terminal (American Airlines) to finally arriving at the hotel. The bus dropping off at the terminals for your flight is better as it takes you to the actual terminal. So this was much faster process in the morning. The shuttle bus leaves the hotel every half hour on the hour and half past the hour. The Hilton JFK Airport Hotel is just like every airport hotel I have stayed at! It is dated as…
