New York

My son and I are flying to New York today. Virgin has a very convenient connection and you can check-in and get the boarding cards all the way and the best of all - enjoy the Virgin Lounge at Heathrow


The afternoon flight is the best!

Unconventional Massage

Last night the Select Collection spa team did something out of the ordinary. While most exhibitors hand out brochures to visitors at evening events, we brought two massage beds to the Legally Yours event hosted by Blendow Group at historical Nalen in Stockholm. Guests could come by for a short test treatments and have a chat with our staff. Our corner quickly became popular!



With heavy load on the way to Nalen ...

The beautiful result!

Select your Food

When flying from London to Malaga this summer, I was lucky to share a plate of seafood with a lovely English lady.

She had ordered a special meal (seafood) and I had not! It was an afternoon flight, so BA was serving Afternoon Tea with traditional scones etc. I don't really eat bread and jams so I was very jeallous watching the big seafood plate arriving to the lady next to me.

She was so sweet (and not very hungry) and she told the stewardess to share the plate with me.




When travelling next time with Select Collection, please ask our professional staff to order you special meal, if you have the desire. Our team is knowledgeable and to your service and will tell you what special food is offered by the different airlines.

Did you know that the list of special meal looks like this...

One of our many benefits to our valued clients.

Thank You Micheline

Last night in Paris, I was invited by Micheline to a wonderful restaurant called La Cigale Recamier. Micheline is a business partner representing Beachcomber Hotels in Mauritius and Seychelles. She is not just a valued business partner that Select Collection has worked with for 18 years but also a close and lovely friend.


Today it was not easy to get a taxi in Paris due to strikes, but thanks to Dave, a contact of Micheline, we were taken safely in a black Mercedes to the airport tonight
