Imagine spending $23,000 on a plane ticket. Yes, you read that right, twenty-three thousand dollars for a flight. Seems unreal, right? Well, Derek Low had enough frequent flyer miles stocked up, so he decided to splurge and spend that much for a luxury suite on a Singapore Airlines flight. Lucky for us, he documented the entire experience through pictures. Here is his story:

He arrived at Singapore Changi Airport and proceeded to the Singapore Airlines counters for check-in.

He had almost forgotten that Changi had a luxurious check-in lounge specially for First Class and Suites passengers, set apart from the rest of the check-in areas.

Thank goodness he remembered, or else he would’ve courteously and professionally assisted by the lady at the regular check-in desk!

There were only 3 people in the luxury suites, so his room was extra big this time.
