Folks, for those who wish to sensibly debate the effect of air travel on climate change, might I ask that it's done in our Carbon Conscious Travel forum?

Ritz Carlton is in Singapore
I also actually travel to cities, but sometimes lounges are ok also.

So in comparison Norway seems like a cheap country to go out and drink

In a forum where much focus is given to the food and beverages provided in lounges and on aircrafts, I think some posters here are unnecessary harsh commenting OP's plan to spend time with a friend traveling together, and quality time together in a lounge, eating and drinking champagne, and probably more.
Spending a day with a friend and then returning back to a country with higher cost level on eating out, and much higher taxation on alcoholic beverages, does not seem all that different from some of the DOs/Mini-DOs reported here, except for the number of travelers and for the fact that these guys don't plan to leave the airport. OK, each to his own.
To OP: Wishing you and your friend a nice daytrip - enjoy yourselves !

I have been a member of this community for around 2 years now and I have always enjoyed the collective wisdom from many of the posters here. I visit this forum almost every day and really learn a lot. I guess maybe I spend too much time here, but my wife does not complain when she can join me on trips in C. Actually this year we are going to Singapore with the family. I will be flying in W with the children and my wife in F on an Avios upgrade from CI really like flying and my friend is looking forward to the trip
I am myself looking at a TP run in August to HNL or 2 trips to MIA to renew the BA gold card. My renewal period starts 8th of July and I do the requalification in July and August in order to maximize the period I can keep the gold card
