Sometimes you don’t know what to do with your miles ; some complimentary Economy flights in Europe ? a round-trip Business flight between Paris and New York ? No, with Air France it definitely doesn’t worth it… In my view Air France miles are good only for complimentary A380 First Class tickets – maybe B777 too – or upgrades from…
I booked my stay at the very last-minute (2 days before arrival) and was a bit afraid about this property.

First time in these countries thanks to a business trip. Unfortunately you can’t see plenty of pictures because I hadn’t so much time but essential is here: 2 different atmospheres, “modern and business” style for Hong-Kong and “in-development” style for Taipei. By the way both countries are so welcoming and luxury-fan travelers will find what they like: beautiful malls, best…
