My Inspiration Behind My Trip

It’s been many many years since I have taken a two-week trip anywhere and It was time that I needed to get away.  I’ve been on some nice business class products like British Airways, United Airlines and American Airlines, but I have never been on a super luxurious flight before. I kept seeing YouTube videos of people reviewing their flights on Etihad, Emirates, Qatar and Singapore Airlines. That’s when I decided, its my time to experience these flights.

But most people enjoy these luxurious flights on a single trip or two at most. I decided I wanted to take FOUR of these lights on a single trip AROUND THE WORLD! This will be my itinerary:

1. Chicago – June 30, 2017
2. London
3. Abu Dhabi
4. Maldives
5. Singapore
6. Sydney
7. Christchurch
8. Queenstown
9. Sydney
10. Tokyo
11. Chicago – July 17, 2017

19 days

7 countries

8 cities

29,174 miles of flying

The four luxurious travel products I will be experiencing:

1. Etihad First Class Apartment A380 from London to Abu Dhabi
2. Singapore Airlines First Class Suites A380 from Singapore to Sydney
3. ANA Business Class 787 from Sydney to Tokyo
4. Japan Airlines First Class 777 from Tokyo to Chicago

I will be reviewing all these flights on my blog and will also be posting a video review of my flights on my YouTube channel so stay tuned!

Also, not to mention 1 night on the luxurious water villa at the Conrad Maldives!

This is what I was able to book in points:
