Edith and Victoria made their way back to Auckland from Manila yesterday wrapping up two weeks away at the Global Travel Network conference followed by their own holiday in the Philippines.

They treated themselves to business class flights on Malaysia Airlines. They also enjoyed the First Class Golden Lounge in Kuala Lumpur where they enjoyed fine dining and Malaysian Hospitality.

Overall, flying with Malaysia Airlines, especially in business class was a fabulos experience. Victoria even got to enjoy over 8 hours sleep 😴. Well worth the extra cost for some quality sleep 40,000ft in the air!

Please note these flights weren’t sponsored and was paid from their own pocket.
