Hotel Review: Ibis Saigon Airport Hotel

So near yet so far! That’s how I felt this hotel was in relation to the airport. As I stood at the arrivals kerbside waiting for the shuttle bus, I told myself if only I could walk there, I would be in bed sooner! Nevertheless, the shuttle bus operated like clockwork despite the horrendous Vietnamese traffic.

Whilst most Ibis properties are generally rated 3-stars, or even 2-stars in some parts of Europe, this was rated as a 4-stars property! It sure deserves this rating because everything during my stay was flawless. Check-in was swift, property was clean, bed was comfortable, the shower was powerful, what more could one want on a short layover.

The hotel has a Starbucks on-site in the lobby and because of my limited time at the hotel, I did not get to check out the rooftop viewing terrace and pool which apparently boasts superb tarmac views!

Flight Review: TK168 Turkish Airlines Singapore-Melbourne Economy Class (Inaugural)

On March 2, 2024, TK168 departed from Singapore to Melbourne. Due to a last-minute rescheduling, the flight was light, with only around 50 passengers in Economy. However, Business Class appeared full, likely due to VIPs and media accompanying Dr. Ahmet Bolat, the Chairman of Turkish Airlines. The entire Business Class section was reserved for VIPs.
