This is what you get if you pay $60K USD for a first class flight ticket on Emirates

Also a I have a ton more flight stuff but it's snap chat videos. I don't know how to upload them so if someone would point me the right direction I'll do it. It's a lot of me being drunk though lol.
 
holy shit that ANA food looks amazing. Hibiki 17 and ramen @ ANA lounge NRT?!?!?!


oh my god I can't wait until tomorrow night - this will be the shortest 16.5 hour flight of my life.

Nice. How many points/miles did you have to pay for that trip and what kind of points/miles (Chase/American Express/etc.)?

Also, 7560 yens (strawberries) is about $65 USD, not $80.

I love to visit Japan again, the people are nice (even the cops) and the country is so clean and modern.

148,750 points. I transferred them from my Amex. I should have used my Citi Thank You Points but it slipped my mind. Oh well.

Andaz, I had some Hyatt points banked up from a cancelled hotel a while back. Cost me 25,000 for 1 night.

Ritz I used Amex Fine Resorts and Hotels. Gave me the 4th night free, breakfast for 2 every morning, $100 credit to use during the stay, and free room upgrade.

I can actually get a flight on one of these with my points. The Singapore Airlines give me a much better value though with some awesome suites too.

My only thing is that I can only afford myself. Who ever I'm traveling with is gonna be in economy lmao.

How does that Mario Cart racing work, is it actually on the street?!

Ya it's on the street. I guess you rent it by hour and get to drive around. You can even rent a costume to cosplay lmao. I didn't see these guys until the last day so I didn't get to do it 🙁

Only 149K points for all of that goodies and benefits on a round trip? You must be in CA or West Coast and things must be on sale.

I am looking at United (DFW or IAH) to NRT and the cheapest First Class (December 2016) will be 195K miles plus fees for ONE WAY or 390K miles for round trip. <sad panda>

Singapore only does the suites on two routes out of the US. LAX-NRT and JFK-FRA. Your best bet would to get a confirmed seat with the suites and fly to LAX or JFK to switch.

Plus United First isn't as nice as Singapore 😀
 
I think I might have found a use for all my points acquired from business travel...
 
So how much flying do you have to do to get enough points for this? I imagine you still technically paid for it in points, even if it might be with company's money (do companies allow to use your own points cards when travelling business?)

I've only flown twice, well 2 separate trips, 8 plane rides total, and even just regular was fun to me. Took tons of pictures. 😀 A flight like this would be pretty awesome, that's for sure. I had no idea it was even within reach to the average person.
 
Now posting from 30k feet.

@ redsquirrel - 2 RT business class trips to Mumbai were needed for me to upgrade a single 16 hour leg of this trip. 63k miles.

Nothing. All from credit card sign up bonuses.
 
I'm a morning mimosa person. Using Dom for mimosas is so unnecessary yet so necessary.

About to move on to their whiskey selection.

This restroom/shower is bigger than the restroom/shower at the SF hotel I stayed at last week.
 
Found it a bit odd that for $60k they don't offer the highest rated, and highest priced Hennessy. No Louis XIII is pretty perplexing. Not that there's anything wrong with the Henny they offer, it's way better than what 99% of people will ever drink. But with everything else they offer so over the top it's weird they decided to skimp on something like a bottle of liquor.
 
Never had Dom before actually. CHECK.
Never had Hennessey Paradis either. CHECK.

Hell I don't even like Hennessey.

Lol at this restroom/shower. I mean I read about it but actually seeing how big this thing is is ridiculous. There's 2 people here who's ONLY job is to keep the two restrooms/shower spas clean and help people navigate the shower.
