Creating Memories Instead of Chasing Dreams
From luxury flights and beachside stays to unexpected cyclones and kangaroo encounters, our journey from Singapore to Perth and Brisbane packed in remote work, creative points redemptions, and a taste of both the chill and wild sides of Australia—all while inching closer to our final destination: New Zealand.
Flying Singapore Airlines Business Class has been a dream redemption for years—and I finally did it using points! From a luxurious 17-hour flight to exploring Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, and the Jewel at Changi, here’s how we maximized a 48-hour stop in Singapore before heading to Perth with an Aeroplan stopover.
Before our business class adventure on Singapore Airlines, we made the most of a quick stop in San Francisco—our first visit to the Golden Gate City! From flying Delta First Class on points to checking out a cannabis café and taking a hop-on hop-off tour past iconic sights like the Golden Gate Bridge, we packed a lot into a single day. Here’s how to turn a layover into a mini-adventure.
