Another Suite mini-review 🎥 Checking in to tropical luxury 🌴 Welcome to Club Suite at Sutera Magellan, Kota Kinabalu

✨ Huge living space
🛏️ Comfy king-size bed

🛁 Marble bathroom
🥂 Club access perks included

It’s giving island escape vibes with a side of five-star chill. Room is dated and need of refurbishment but comfortable. Full review on our blog to follow.

13 hours. One tired 787.
Flew British Airways Club World from London to Kuala Lumpur in seats 6J & 6K. Nonstop was great. The seat? Not so much. Think ancient yin-yang layout: awkward, cramped, tray table tilts, screen flickers, not much storage unless you’re a yoga master. One of our screens didn’t work.

Crew were lovely, wine was flowing, and we did sleep but honestly? This cabin should’ve been retired a decade ago.

Scenery from in and around the Eastern & Oriental

Scenery from in and around the Eastern & Oriental Hotel in Penang, Malaysia 🇲🇾 Palm-lined promenades, colonial elegance, and endless ocean views. As a city centre hotel, it was noisy though.

Ever visited? What did you think?

The sunsets we’ve captured in the Maldives for the last couple of weeks, and each one has been more breathtaking than the last. No filters—just nature showing off. 🌅 From fiery oranges to soft pinks fading into the endless blue, these moments are pure magic. ✨

✈️ Mini Review: @british_airways 777 Club Suit

✈️ Mini Review: @british_airways 777 Club Suites

🛫 Route: London Heathrow (LHR) to Velana International Airport, Maldives (MLE)
🎟️ Cabin: Business Class (Club Suites)

🛫 Boarding Bliss
We arrived at the gate at final call—no queue, straight through, and champagne served within a minute of sitting down. The cleanest BA cabin we’ve seen in a while made for a great first impression.

💺 Seat Picks
Rows 5 & 6 in the mini-cabin are a must for peace and privacy. With 70+ Business Class seat the other cabins were much bigger. Avoid 7A/K—blocked window.

🍽️ Food Fail
Dinner: Slow service, chewy beef, and disappointing presentation.
Breakfast: A messy setup and tasted bad—other airlines do it better.

🎥 Entertainment
The recently refurbished cabin meant great IFE with a large 18.5-inch screen, responsive controls, and a solid selection of new releases. This isn’t always the case compared to older Club Suites on aircraft like the A350s, where systems are less responsive.

Pros:
• Comfortable seats.
• Quiet mini-cabin in Rows 5-7.
• Clean cabin and upgraded IFE.

Cons:
• Slow and inconsistent service.
• Food quality and presentation fell short.
• Only 4 washrooms for 70+ business passengers.

🔑 BG1 Tip: Book Row 5 or 6 in the mini-cabin for the quietest and most private experience.

A few snaps from our stay so far at @cinnamonvelifushi

This resort is located in the Vaavu Atoll, about 90-minute speedboat ride from Male Airport. We’ll share a detailed review once our trip wraps up.

One of the highlights so far? A dusk snorkel along the channel at the edge of the resort, where we were thrilled to spot a black tip reef shark 🦈 Hoping for more encounters like this before we leave.

We’re halfway through our holiday, and while the weather has been a bit unpredictable this January 🌧️, the sun finally showed up today. Fingers crossed it sticks around…

Touching down in the Maldives feels like flying in

Touching down in the Maldives feels like flying into a postcard. Turquoise waters, atolls, and that unmistakable feeling of adventure waiting below.

The anticipation of adventures ahead—landing with this view—is why we love the window seat. Even if the British Airways Club Suite flight was so-so 🌍✈️ #Maldives #WindowSeatViews #BusinessClass”

Cornwall 🌊 or the Aegean Sea ☀️?

Was impressed by this slice of paradise where rugged cliffs meet turquoise waters, and every wave whispers a secret. This cove with white sandy beaches is perfect for a serene escape. It was a steep climb in but totally worth it. Who knew such breathtaking beauty existed right here in the UK? The bright ☀️ ☀️ added to the beauty.

Traveled from LHR via JFK to GRU this week, on Virgin Atlantic and Delta.

Overall, it was another pretty disappointing Virgin flight. Other than the superficial glitz of the clubhouse and the crew, there’s not a lot of substance to the Virgin business class product. Perhaps tacky is the best way to describe it these days? The old seats are uncomfortable and lack the privacy levels that have become standard for business class fares. It wouldn’t surprise me if this years-long decline will eventual result in them being fully-absorbed into Delta.

We’ve been on three Virgin Upper Class flights over the last year and it disappoints every time. What’s your experience? @virginatlantic @delta

What started out as an amazing stay in a beautiful location was quickly let down by the service. We wanted to love this place and all was well until check-out… If you’re planning on visiting here, lower your standards when it comes to service and you’ll be fine.
