Flights, Hotel Reviews Travel & Aviation
Welcome to my Travel channel, Some Bloke Who Travels a Lot, Which is based around my Travel Vlog " Chasing Tier Points & Upgrades"
My search on the worlds airlines for flight upgrades, status points, lounge access. Basically drinking champagne for free at 30,000 feet !.
On the way I stay at many hotels, from Budget, Mid range to Luxury in 5 Star Hotel Suite. You guessed it I chase loyalty points and rewards with hotels too.
I have also been known to wander around the odd museum, gallery or just the streets of where I am visiting and very occasionally you will find me all at Sea on a ferry or a boat. It is also not unheard of for me to go off, on the rails and that usually happens on a train.

The Beatles ,truly the greatest 😊
😂 Iwara 😮 😅 ❤ 😊 🎉
Thanks, Chris
where it is?
At Doha airport. Next to Oryx Hotel pool ( both open to non residents)
Done this a few times on the Iberia A340, A330 and A350 since 2017! Its a brilliant route and I'm a little annoyed BA hasn't returned with the Boeing 777 or similar on their end. But its a nice trip to make regardless. If you want to make it easier to find, the best one for the Iberia A350 (or A330) is the Iberia IB3166 (MAD-LHR) or IB3167 (LHR-MAD), some mid morning ones can be the A330 (or A350) but they do change more often. Hope this helps, nice vlog as always Chris!

Hi, do you know how far from the coach drop off the hotel is?
From the bus station , just follow the signs for Terminal 2, then you will start to see signs for Ibis Budget. About 10 mins walk. Nearly all undercover inside the airport.
Bro I thought it was the Beatles all my loving
I Love Airplanes
🛬✈️
Is this hotel located on airport grounds or away from the airport? Do I take the train to the Schiphol airport and then leave the airport to get to the hotel?
Hi, the airport is so big. It is on the grounds walking distance to a runway. From the Station?main Airport terminal follow the exit sign to buses and just jump on the ibis shuttle Free bus ( I show this in the video near the end )
That was such an iconic interior design
Great video. Thanks for the information. My wife and I will be in Hua Hin next month ( August 2024), and I'm trying to find a nice place to stay for 8 days that won't break the budget. I've narrowed it down to Movenpick, the Intercontinental, and thr Amari Hotel, which is actually the least expensive of them all. Have you ever stayed at the Intercontinental or the Amari before? If so, what are your thoughts?
Sorry I was a little late in replying. I have stayed at the Ibis, Hilton and Movenpick in the centre and on the outskirts the So Sofitel and Novotel. there are video reviews of all of them on the channel
When you get greedy and it bites you on the bum
This is very true.....
How do you get from airport to hotel?
Yikes, for some reason I can’t edit my question lol. Was trying to ask from airport to hotel via the paying bus, does the bus accept credit card payment, or cash? Thank you
Hi the bus stop is outside the hotel on the main road and I tapped using a card
Great video only booked this hotel for one night absolutely perfect for myself as a single traveler
Great for Terminal 2
Audio terrible
The music isn't loud enough I can still hear some of what you're saying
Man you shouldve got the. Chicken one it tastes better
I did 😀 I had both 😂
@@SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot oh i probably didnt see 😂😂
Stayed there in the 80’s when it was owned by the post office , remember a red telephone box in the mansion next to the bar
Great video thanks alot i have this booked 😀 👍 🙂 😊
Bon Voyage, have a great sailing
Loving the fan 😂
Well spotted. I think it might be humidifier. But that plane needs all the looking after it can get
Keep these little chats coming Chris. Usually miss it live, but catch up afterwards. 👍👍👍
Hi Jim, the plan is one a week and maybe add a weekend slot after the summer. I am just trying work out the best time. They both have similar views but the afternoon one had more on the actual live. What time(s) would you suggest
@@SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot You may get more views early evening, possibly. Other than that, no idea lol
Let me give a 👍to encourage you in persevering with your channel. West Midlands UK
Thank you very much, most appreciated. I am planning to maintain a weekly Thursday chat. However Im not sure about the best time, whether morning , lunchtime, afternoon, or even early evening or late evening. What are your thoughts
Yikes! That bathroom! 😜
It was a 5€ train !!!!!!!!
And one of the best points about this Premier is that Purple parking is right next door with bus connections to all Terminals.
I enjoyed the live last week. Can’t remember what will be the usual time going forward. Thanks for the reminder to apply to BA for the missing tier points - they were added yesterday - no danger of me being a gold card holder any time soon!!!! All the best.
Great news about the points 👍 think I lose my Silver next week ☹️ Tomorrow at 11am going to start talking about low cost airlines and then see where we end up
Bidding price is per person or what you bid gets applied to all passengers? And how long before is good time to bid? Do prices change closer to departure? Thanks
I have only ever done solo, so not sure. But I imagine it would be for all on the single booking. In all bid offers Ive normally done them a couple of days before flights. They aren't actually allocated until the day before or even on the day and as you don't know the other bids. Im not sure it makes any difference to when you bid
Do you pay for your seat??? What happens if it’s full?
Damn...missed you live. Nice set up mate. If on Thursday at 11, it'll be a catch up for me, unless I can manage to at least drop in and say hi. Keep up the good work, Chris. 👍👍👍
very very cool setup

Cheers, glad you enjoyed. First of many I hope
@@SomeBlokeWhoTravelsALot yes I hope you soon feel better and well enough to be on the move again. I just got back from the Channel Islands yesterday, one of 7 trips I have planned for 2024. 👍
Nice cabin mock up. Persevere with this format. 👍
Thank you, very kind of you. I enjoyed setting it up. It's a bit of fun. I am planning a weekly show possibly Thursdays at 11 Am with maybe one at the weekend as well
I went there when I was 4 years old
Hope you enjoyed. I thought it was fantastic
Wow that's is like the other one
Wow. 😮
My name is Michael and I'm a fan of the titanic

Thank you for making this video. It answered a lot of questions that the Stena website was vague about, and has made me aware of the need to book the deluxe room on the overnight Liverpool to Belfast ferry WELL in advance.
Im glad it was helpful. It was a good room, feels like a mid range hotel room. I had great nights sleep.
