Best Flight
Luftwaffe FRA to BKK leg of Manila flight using *miles. Attitude of the cabin crew who just wanted to make the whole experience enjoyable. They really camped it up, and said that if I got too drunk they would only be too happy to carry me of the plane. By contrast the flight back was very German and efficient.
Worst Flight
None to really single out this year.
Best Airport / Lounge
Virgin Pier in Hong Kong by far out classes anything else I have been in.
Worst Airport / Lounge
*lounge in Prague due to all the cigarette smoke. It was like sitting in an ashtray.
Best Hotel
Difficult to single one out thsi year, although I do love the SAS Radisson Plaza in Oslo for its glass walled sauna men only on the 32nd floor. The view over the city at night is amazing especially if you catch the Northen Lights.
Worst Hotel
W Lakeside in Chicago, nice enough hotel, given the third degree about bringing someone back to my room.
