P town has a very high concentrate of Wonderful food… Wonderful art…. Wonderful environment…. Wonderful entertainment…What isn’t wonderful…. That amount of tourists in high season (really a double edged sword)…. and the expense….. Many years ago ..think late 70’s to early 80’s… it was even more amazing… with a less amount of tourists and of course (even with inflation) more reasonably priced…and a bargain on “Off Season” which ran from Labor Day till mid May…

Hi and thanks! For a U.S. domestic flight, this is what we get. Unless the planes are configured with a long hual cabin with a lie flat. But those are usually high demand routes like JFK to lax or Seatle . Thanks for watching and commenting.

We took Alaska First Class SFO to JFK and return in May and June this year. The lounge in SFO is very fine - one of the better lounges we have been in, with excellent food. The JFK lounge is much smaller, pretty new, but much more spartan. We have been spoiled by the Virgin Lounges, particularly at Heathrow. We have flown Jet Blue Mint before on the same route, the best domestic first class, particularly if you can get the single seat. However the price of Mint has skyrocketed over the years and the Alaska First Class was half the price of the Mint. Agree that most domestic first class is so-so, a step above premium economy on international flights.

Hi there! I missed checking out the AK lounges in jfk and SFO. I've been to the Virgin lounge I'm LHR and it's pretty amazing :) Your right about Mints single "throne seat" it's nice I've flown that too and it's not bad for domestic FC. But yeah their award redemption rates have become absurdly high :( I wanted to try and fly their new product to Europe but lol not for the points they are asking :( Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it :)

Looked pretty good, pity about the 1hr delay, as other's have commented on there was a huge number of CE seats on that flight and knowing the huge ticket prices BA charge for CE that must have been a very profitable flight. I use Avios to upgrade to CE always found cabin crew to be very professional, the lounge at LHR can get busy but have always been able to get a seat.

Hi there!! Well, the delay wasn't fun, but I'm happy they changed the tire before we took off :) We were lucky in that this was the 2nd leg of our award redemption. Bos to lhr to lis. But wow, I've never seen such a layout with that many premium seats. Also, BA fuel surcharges for our award redemption was $754!! But hey, I wanted to test out their new business class suite.

Hi there. There are a few places to grab lunch and over the bridge a few for dinner but you will need to walk a few blocks to get to either. Night life I saw a few bars but only went to a few resturaunts. We ate breakfast in the hotel. I'd say the hotels geared to vacationers.

I actually took the BART from airport to downtown and walked to the hotel from there. That part was a bit schetchy, but it felt safe. I was there for a conference and walked back and forth each day. I never felt unsafe during the day. I didn't go out much at night this time.

Hi! I'm a bit late to this review, but I have a question regarding the restroom. I'm due for my first visit to Thailand early next year (including a stay at the Waldorf), and it is my understanding that TP is disposed of in a small bin located next to the toilet. Something about plumbing in Thailand not being able to handle paper? Does this apply to five star hotels like the Waldorf too?
@MilesMiser
@MilesMiser 2 ай бұрын
Hi there, and welcome to the channel. Good question. A lot of places have those bins for the tp due to plumbing and waste treatment, etc. But as far as I remember, this hotel didn't have that.i mean, I flushed. But I've been in plenty of resorts in Thailand that have signs telling you to dispose of the tp in the bin.. ymmv Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it

@space_rl3534 Well, that's a great question. 1. The prices will be lower for flights and hotels as I believe it's still the rainy season. There should still be plenty of sun but rain and more rain.. don't quote me, but there seems to be an influx of box jellyfish in the rainy season, too :( end of Oct would be better but prices will creep up. Might be able to pre book some flights and hotels now to save a little, though. I've found the end of Oct into Nov to be nicer. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I know that hotel very well. Not worth $300 a night. You could have stayed at the hotel right next to the airport. No beach but it's just a very short walk to the beach. And cleaner and cheaper. It use to be called Carib Beach Hotel. I do remember the food at Emerald Beach was good. And of coarse your on the beach. They both have nice pools. The Carib Beach Hotel is only maybe a half block from the airport. I lived on St Thomas for more than 30 years 🌴. I pretty sure the name has changed. Sorry I don't have that info.
