Fighting off Jetlag, a Quick Trip to Yinchuan, China

June 1, 2026 by Dave1 Comment

We arrived in at Beijing International, always an overwhelming airport based on its immense girth. But our gate was very close to immigration and we breezed through without much delay as officials kept opening new lanes as the lines swelled from the arriving flights. We discovered a small short-stay airport hotel and without hesitation spent the $40 for a two hour stay. Showers after long flights are one of the best things one can gift one's body … [Read more...]

Which business class seats are the best?

February 28, 2026 by John KolberLeave a Comment

Airlines across the globe have been improving their business class experience. Whilst this covers everything, from check-in to lounges, and then the planes themselves, the biggest improvement can be found in the seats themselves. What used to be a bigger, more plush economy seat is now much closer to what you’d expect (and get) in First Class. Seats have become suites, complete with walls, and drinks cabinets, large TVs and massage … [Read more...]

The Insider’s Itinerary: How to Find the Real Hunter Valley (Beyond the Big Names)

January 5, 2026 by David HenryLeave a Comment

The Hunter Valley is a bit of a legend in Australia. As our oldest wine region, it carries a certain weight. But for a first-time visitor, it can be... overwhelming. On my first trip years ago, I made the classic mistake: I bounced between the three giant, famous wineries you see on every billboard, tasted the same two styles of wine, and left feeling like I’d missed something. I had. The real soul of the Hunter isn't on the main road. It's … [Read more...]
