I pubslihed on my YouTube channel a video featurin I pubslihed on my YouTube channel a video featuring a Business Class flight onboard a @JetBlue Airbus A321 from New York’s JFK Airport to St Maarten Island in the sunny Caribbean.
.
JetBlue’s Business Class (called ‘Mint’) is a truly outstanding product. In 2014, the low-coast carrier surprised the airline industry when it debuted the world’s first fully enclosed Business Class suites. Seven years later, the Business Class product is still considered one of the best offered by a USA airline.
.
The video includes landing & touchdown at St Maarten’s notorious Princess Juliana Airport. The airport is famous around the world for its low landings over the ocean, owing to one end of its single 7,546 ft (2,300 m) long runway being extremely close to the shore.

Throwback Thursday! A few years ago, I stayed at t Throwback Thursday! A few years ago, I stayed at the fabulous St Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, one of my favorite resorts in the #Maldives. There's a video featuring a full tour of the property on my YouTube channel (link in profile).
.
Located in the Dhaalu Atoll – a 40 minute seaplane from Malé – the St Regis property is surrounded by dreamy landscapes, thick tropical vegetation, a fine white-sand beach, a pristine lagoon, and the glistening turquoise Indian Ocean. Combining contemporary design and local craftsmanship, the resort’s 77 luxuriously appointed villas feature expansive private terraces leading to pristine beaches and infinity pools with the magnificent Indian Ocean as a tranquil backdrop. Guests can savor epicurean delights in six restaurants and bars, and restore their well-being at the over-water Iridium Spa.

I published on my blog (link in profile) a detaile I published on my blog (link in profile) a detailed review with pros and cons of the famous TWA Hotel at JFK Airport in New York.
.
The @TWAHotel – JFK’s only on-airport hotel – pays homage to the sixties, also known as the golden age of aviation and travel. At the center of the unique hotel is Eero Saarinen’s landmark 1962 TWA Flight Center, which houses the lobby, restaurants, bars and retail outlets. Two hotel wings, designed to reflect and defer to the landmark TWA Flight Center, sit behind the historic building and contain 512 guestrooms with views of JFK’s runways and the TWA Flight Center. The hotel also has a stunning rooftop infinity pool, which remains open 365 days a year thanks to its ability to reach 100° F (38 °C)  and turn into a pool-cuzzi.

If all goes well, I will travel to New York City this summer and stay at Aman New York. Opening its doors in spring 2021, Aman New York will bring the serenity of @Aman – one of the world’s most exclusive hotel brands – to the Big Apple. The hotel will be housed in the Crown Building on Fifth Avenue, one of the most expensive city blocks in the world, overlooking Central Park. The fourth through tenth floors of the building will be occupied by the new Aman hotel, while the 11th floor and above will be transformed into 20, Aman-branded residences, crowned with a five-story penthouse that is priced in excess of US$100 million. The new Aman will also encompass a three storeys Aman Spa, with an indoor swimming pool surrounded by fire pits and daybeds as its centerpiece.
