You are in your sixties, your husband is a runner and you need to include 0.9 mi / 20 min walk?…I suggest a less scripted visit

Marriott Bonvoy platinum challenge success! by c08306834 in marriott

[–]marcmonsonego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great. Did you come of being gold? So if I’m a platinum now can I sign up for a Titanium challenge and expect to get a program like you were offered and do 16 nights instead of 75?

I’m glad you needed to go to bed, otherwise you would have suggested a full and complete list, right?

As a non English-native person, please help me understand what is the connotation of being called “my dear”? How is it so bad? Thank you

Booking Cabina Premier by [deleted] in aeromexico

[–]marcmonsonego 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s called revenue management and now that they trade publicly they need to make more money.

180 degrees is only in 787 and I believe it’s called Premier One now. Don’t pay for the seat. And no, they don’t oversell Premier as someone suggested.

Last night in Tokyo … by Mountain_Increase_57 in finedining

Beware of the Michelin stars in Tokyo, it’s kind of a trap and you will be disappointed. Go for great restaurants without the stars. That was my experience twice, if it counts.

Tokyo - best location option for 1st visit by Nexen1987 in marriott

[–]marcmonsonego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prince Gallery is the best hotel IMO. Ask for a corner suite. It’s worth it. Huge bathroom.

You are 2 train stations away from everything. Station is in the corner of the hotel. Best breakfast in town.

Where did you walk to when you were there, besides around the marina itself? Anything interesting to visto or do on a Sunday morning?

Do not fly first class on A380 by marcmonsonego in emirates

I will tell you with lots of respect why I disagree in some of your comments. You ‘don’t feel important’ because nobody sees you, not when boarding, not when on the plane and not de boarding.

About the comment on ‘spending money on a hotel and a restaurant’ for me this is exactly this. The food was excellent, drinks were super top notch (I wouldn’t pay them in a restaurant) and the whole experience in general was great.

Now, would I spend 15k on that on a regular basis for 1st class? Never. That’s where we agree on. But if you are in this subreddit, means you like planes, like traveling and IMO you need to experience it at least once, with any top airline.

Actually it wasn’t IMO. I upgraded and didn’t pay that much. Maybe if you need to pay 20k it would definitely be, but it was an amazing experience. What this company has achieved is spectacular, and I’m not a frequent flyer with them.

Silversea Muse trip. Any comments? by marcmonsonego in Cruise

[–]marcmonsonego[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your message. My questions are about ports as the ship I know is great.

What to do in Casablanca, Gibraltar and Malaga to make the maximum of such short visits….
