Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Half Moon Bay, Clearwater Beach and the Original Hooters: SIN-LHR-BOS-TPA-ATL-SFO-SAN-SFO-HKG-SIN on SQ, Virgin, JetBlue, Delta and United
There is a first time for everything. While I do a fair bit of travelling for both work and leisure, and try to select different hotels and airlines on each trip just to keep things interesting, there are quite a few gaps on my "To Try" list of airlines, hotels and destinations.
On this recent trip, I managed a few firsts: my first flight on 3 different airlines, Virgin Atlantic, JetBlue and Delta -- all airlines I have heard so much about, but have never managed to fly.
I also visited several places for the first time, among them Tampa and Clearwater Beach in Florida, named the best beach in America by TripAdvisor in 2016, and location of the original Hooters Restaurant, and also the Ritz Carlton at Half Moon Bay, CA, a stunning resort hotel nestled along the Pacific Coast not far from San Francisco.
On this trip, I made brief stops in San Francisco, San Diego, where I finally got to visit the CV-41 USS Midway floating museum, and Atlanta, where I spent a very pleasant Saturday afternoon cycling through the parks and beltway not far from downtown Atlanta.
And while it was not the first time I had visited the flagship Virgin Clubhouse in London Heathrow, it had been more than 10 years since my last visit, and once again I was bowled over by what I saw.
I began and ended my trip on SQ, first SIN-LHR on SQ322, an A380 service, and then SFO-HKG-SIN on SQ1, on a 77WN (9V-SWZ), and flew all sectors on this trip in economy.
Just highlights of the SQ sectors bookending this TR, as I have covered these in detail in other TRs, with most of the write-up focused on the sectors in between...
