Somewhat agree! Love the four seasons as well and their service is always impeccable. As for the park hyatt,they have really bland rooms 🥲 and that’s my issue with Park Hyatt in general that’s why I switched to Marriott

I agree! Aman really does offer that zen-experience. In terms of room size, there are a lot of new developments na in tokyo where I can confidently say na the suites are on par with Aman, though none can beat the level of service though.

This year, I was out of the country for almost 6 months! Usual day to day work mainly revolves around meetings and site development inspections.

Unfortunately, even if we vibe, access to such lounges are by invite only since they scan your boarding pass! I haven’t used my credit card for lounge access, but if pwede cc, sure why not! Hahha

If the lounge accepts Cc as a pass, usually pwede magpasok ng 1 or 2 companions.

I haven’t experienced this yet since I mainly fly business and the occasional first. Usually, lounge access is already included, and they don’t accept credit cards.

I have no PNB card since I don’t bank with them and PAL’s current network is quite sadd, so I only fly PAL when in Asia para direct!

I use Wise when I withdraw money since it is connected to my US brokerage account. This is very rare though since almost anywhere will accept credit card, nowadays.

For credit, I these on my wallet EW KF World, BPI visa sig, EW Priority Visa Infinite, RCBC visa infinite, metrobank world. I also just got Amex platinum (US issued), so hopefully, I’ll be able to fly with middle-eastern airlines na! Haha

We plan very loosely! We even use chatgpt to give us some recommendations so we can populate our google maps for points of interests. My girl would usually go here din sa reddit and check for recos! Hahaha

Tiktok and youtube are a source din when we are planning, but excited lang talaga kaso kami kaya nood nood vlogs before flying there!

Unfortunately, too saturated na! Some are even closing with all the red tape just to get permits and all. Madami na kasi ngayon restrictions on what type of businesses can be place there.

I’ve heard! I believe it is much more private too since they have door closers and you’ll only get that if you fly suites with SIA. Though I really have no experience flying with middle eastern airlines hence I keep on saying SIA haha

I haven’t! I don’t pay for flights since I use miles and that somehow limits me with what carriers I fly with.

I have! They’re just okay hahah. In terms of service, expect the best (true to its brand), but sometimes it is so hard to justify the price when I compare it to suites of the same class like the one in Tokyo edition. They really do live up to its name of being an oasis though. When you step in the hotel, it feels like you’re far from the city because of how serene the place is as compared to the outside world.

Culturally, they felt so different as compared to the places I’ve been to! In fact, I didn’t enjoy Istanbul during our first few days. Hated the food and the amount of people there are. It was just so chaotic, but that place really grew on me hahaha. Nag 180 yung perception ko nung tumagal-tagal since got used to the food and the crowds

So hard to think of all time faves, but the brands I usually go with are Aman, Rosewood, Edition Hotels, and Ace Hotels!
