不得不說，長榮航空的哩程兌換方式是有點特殊。我最近才剛有機會用長榮的飛行常客計劃（哩程獎勵計劃）兌換哩程，流程不是很簡單，尤其是這次我還需要用哩程幫我自己和同行夥伴訂兩張機票，過程更是複雜。

On April 1, 2022 Malaysia completely opened their border to foreign travelers, without any quarantine for those who are fully vaccinated. The process was however much easier said than done. The main requirements are:

馬來西亞在2022年4月1日起重開邊境，解除所有針對外國人的入境管制，旅客只要完整接種過疫苗就不用再進行入境隔離。不過整個大馬入境過程用說的可能比做的容易，旅客需要準備以下事項：

For a recent trip in between Vancouver (YVR) and San Francisco (SFO) in March of 2022, I chose to fly with Air Canada in Business on their 737 MAX 8. I wasn’t really sure what to expect for this short Business flight, however my expectations were definitely exceeded.

Earlier this year, in February, SAS announced that they will start to fly from Stockholm (ARN) and Copenhagen (CPH) to Toronto (YYZ). Award tickets were finally released and made available to book!

Recently while trying to book a flight back to Asia from North America I was happy to find that there were a lot of award seats available right now. I mostly checked departures from the West Coast of North America, traveling from Vancouver, San Francisco or Los Angeles, to destinations such as Tokyo, Singapore, Malaysia, and Taipei. Primarily served by United, ANA, EVA, and Air Canada.

UPDATE: SAS announced that will leave Star Alliance and join SkyTeam after being acquired by Air France/KLM and others. Check out these other posts to stay up to date

Historically Lufthansa First class partner award redemptions have only been available 14 days in advance, making it a little difficult to plan trips with them.

Today’s journey started months ago when I read that Taiwan’s flag carrier, China Airlines, would be arranging a special 747 farewell flight as they would be retiring their 747 fleet.

Since I’m currently living in Taiwan I thought I would try to get a ticket on this special flight.
