Since my Transilvania weekend trip was cancelled I ended up with a weekend to spare in February. While on the road in New York I saw an amazing deal popping up on my iPhone. From Istanbul to pretty much everywhere for roughly 500 Euro return in Turkish Airlines Business Class. The best bang for the buck would have been Jakarta; surely a destination I wouldn't fly into directly from Europe otherwise. The few seats available to Jakarta were booked by the time I came back home - I was traveling without my laptop - and the waitlist did not clear. I now hold a return ticket to Hong Kong on a Boeing 777 wetleased from Jet Airways with amazing seats, comparable to the Air Newzealand Business Premier. I went to book a ticket to get me to Istanbul and ended up booking a ticket on Expedia combining Lufthansa and Swiss using a random bug which shaved 50 Euro off the flight and still allowes me to fly Swiss Business intra-European.



Thanks to New Year celebrations in Hong Kong that weekend there will be lots of stuff to see but flights to nearby cities (i.e. Taipei) are rather expensive. I'll revisit Macao during my stay for sure.

Btw: The new Great Circlemapper tool was recently released with lots of fun options to play around with.
