Summer Trip Flying EVA Air Business Class on 777 & Hello Kitty Jet, Singapore Airlines Suites & Cathay Pacific First Class
Last summer, I travelled to the Philippines for the 70th birthday celebration of my father. It was a very short visit since I needed to be back home for work. I've always wanted to try EVA Air's Hello Kitty Jet so I booked my flight from Stockholm to Fukuoka using Avianca Lifemiles. From Fukuoka, I flew on a budget carrier to Tokyo, and from Tokyo I flew on Singapore Airlines Suites to Singapore, and then first class to Manila using my Kris Flyer Miles. On my way back to Stockholm, I flew on Cathay Pacific First Class and Finnair Business Class using my AA Advantage Miles. This trip allowed me to test EVA Air Hello Kitty, Singapore Suites and Cathay Pacific First Class all for the first time and I couldn't be more satisfied.

CONCLUSION
I have originally booked a guest room but upon check in, I was informed that they have upgraded me to a Deluxe room as a Hilton Gold member. I was so happy to realize that the room I got which was located on the other building had a fantastic view of the Gulf of Finland. This was definitely one of the nicest rooms I have stayed at considering the view. There were also chocolates and bottles of water waiting for me in the room, as a welcome amenity. The hotel also has a private beach although I opted to go to the sauna so I could try the famous Finnish sauna. The food during the breakfast buffet was very extensive and the staff were also very friendly. As for the location, the hotel is located about 10 minutes by tram to the city center which is ideal for those who would like explore the city like me. I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel and I would gladly choose this hotel again for my next visit to Helsinki. To Hilton Helsinki Kalastajatorppa, kiitos 😉
