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
Arriving late in the evening and having a flight departing early morning the following day, I thought I'd book an airport hotel in Taoyuan. The Novotel Taipei Airport Hotel was no doubt the perfect choice for this. Upon landing at the Taoyuan Airport, I went straight to collect my bags and at the arrivals area, I was met by Oscar, the hotel representative who was actually very friendly and spoke fluent English. We waited for the next bus to arrive and in no time at all, I was on my way to the hotel. A young French lady named Claire helped me with the check in process which went smoothly. She also offered me a boxed breakfast for my early morning check out although I had to decline since I had access to the EVA Air Lounge at the airport where I had planned to eat. My room was very nice and also had complimentary wifi and two bottles of mineral water. Unfortunately, the swimming pool's opening hours did not match my stay in the hotel so I was not able to check it out. Overall, I really enjoyed my short stay in this hotel and would highly recommend it to everyone who is having a layover at Taipei Taouyuan Airport.
