Surprise surprise – I’ve written a lot on this blog about Singapore Air Business Class, First Class and their First Class Suites, but until now I had never sampled their Economy Class product. That all changed this year 🙂 . So let’s dive into if Economy on this airline lives up to the rest of its plane classes.

So my Partner loves trains 🙂 . I try to incorporate them into our travel plans as much as I can because he loves them so much.
That has led to some fun adventures, such as taking a sleeper train up the west coast of the US (even though it’s much slower and more expensive 😉 ) and taking trains around Europe this past fall. I also found individual sleeper cars in trains to be a good alternate pandemic travel solution.

For the past 12 years I used TripCase to organize my travel plans. When I retired in 2020 and became a full-time nomad, TripCase was the only reason I wasn’t lost in the wilderness given all of the things I needed to juggle in order to have a smooth experience moving around the globe every month.
But because all good things must end, TripCase is sunsetting and closing its app on April 1, 2025, so it’s time to say goodbye to the most helpful app I use that’s also been in my life the longest. You will be missed TripCase. Continue reading “TripIt: The Best Travel App (To Replace TripCase)”
I know I’ve raved about Singapore Air Business Class before (see the various posts below), but I wanted to add this review to the stack because I’d never flown this route before and it’s been 2 years since I flew this airline and a lot can change in that amount of time.
