    First Business class flight

    Enjoy Lonewolf. All business class flights in SIA are a great experience without worrying too much about the seats. Your preference should be a window seat and if possible a bulkhead.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    I suspect that I will be drummed out of AFF for this the most obvious and basic mistake ( or perhaps I should quietly sneak off to a far corner of the parade ground with a .45 and end my misery ) Here goes, and I only admit this because I have been told that confession is good for the soul...
