"Premium air tickets aren't always associated with premium accomodations.
In fact, I recall meeting a FTer who arrived in HKG in CX F and stayed at the hostel in TST because "it was cheap"."
Agree,
I don't understand why some people on this board are so self absorbed about themselves.
Just because I travel in J or F Class that does not mean:
1) I can't eat @ Fast Food Outlets
2) Stay in hotels that are <5 stars
3) be budget concious
etc.....
