On an overnight flight from Perth to Tokyo, imagine my delight to discover I’ve been upgraded to business class with a fully reclining flatbed. The 9 1/2-hour flight just became even more appealing, as you’ll soon discover with this ANA flight review. I was already thrilled to be flying to Japan, but now, I was almost too excited to sleep.

Cultural immersion doesn’t get much more fascinating than attending music festivals in Asia and Western Australia, where festival-goers are just as likely to be locals as international tourists.

On a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, I was incredibly lucky to fly on Malaysia Airlines Business Class. My indulgent journey started from the moment I checked in at the Perth Airport, and it was one of the few times I didn’t want the flight to end. My return flight home was even more decadent with a massaging flatbed – I’m now left wondering how I will ever return to the economy after experiencing such magic at the pointy end of the plane.
What do Manchester United, free travel and new flight routes have in common? On a flying visit to Kuala Lumpur, compliments of Malaysia Airlines, I discovered that the country’s premier airline is proudly responsible for this incredible trifecta.
On a direct flight to Perth on Vietjet Air, I had the chance to fly in the unique SkyBoss class. Admittedly, the flight from Vietnam’s capital to Perth required an ungodly wake-up call to catch the 6.30am flight, but since it was direct, my flight to Perth on Vietjet had me home in just over six hours. And you can’t complain about that, especially when flying in the Skyboss class, Vietjet’s answer to Premium Economy.
Sometimes, I struggle to stay fit while travelling. In fact, I struggle to find time to stay fit even when I’m home and not on some overseas adventure. Even when I’m travelling specifically for the purpose of wellness, like to an Ayurveda retreat, the thought of controlled meals and organised fitness activities is probably my least favourite part since I love spontaneity. One of the joys of travel is enjoying the break in your routine, but if you travel regularly, it can play havoc with your fitness regime.
