On the road again. Heading this evening to Seoul via Amsterdam and Beijing. It is Design week in Seoul and we will be doing a story about that and about Hagwons. Stay tuned to find out what that is all about!
This flight is a long one because of the long wait in Beijing... almost 6 hours! But it shouldn't be too bad. The airport in Beijing is very modern and I hope they have a nice business lounge. I am flying economy of course, but have a gold card on Sky Team of which China Southern is a member, so I should be able to use the lounge.
Got a traveller's surprise yesterday in a packet from Lufthansa. I had just made the silver level with Star Alliance! Their silver level is about the same as the gold on Sky Team, meaning I can check-in business and use the lounges. That makes a huge difference in the travelling experience. Plus the card is good for two years instead of just one year at Sky Team. My next trips will be on Lufthansa, not because of the card. The television buys the tickets and looks for the cheapest fares of course. So when I get back from Seoul next Thursday I get ready to leave for Astana, Kazakhstan the following Sunday. Back from that trip I have almost a week before taking off for Los Angeles on the 15th of October. So, lot's of air miles in 3 weeks!
Whoa, congratulations with your silver level and have a great filming trip!
