...Both British Airways and Singapore Airlines have replaced their loungers with fully adjustable seats that extend into flat beds for long-haul flights. Australia's flagship, Qantas, is launching next year its own convertible seat bed, a follow-up to its highly successful gourmet restaurant in the sky. And Virgin Atlantic Airways boasts an in-flight beauty therapist who dispenses hand, neck and head massages...

Cathay's second airport lounge, The Pier, at the Hong Kong International Airport offers showers, a well-equipped business center and a complimentary bar boasting a spectacular view of one of the world's busiest runways.

It's riddled with abandoned churches and unexplored caves and known throughout the Philippines for its black magic and mangkukulam, or traditional healers. The real hair-raiser is a statue of the Virgin Mary in the village of Maria, a winding 15-km drive through the mountains from the main port of Larena. In her right hand she clutches a skull and in her left an inverted crucifix. Leave before dark: word is she's a nightwalker...
