How's that for contrast lol?

And @Dan:

It's like when I take the RoissyBus to the Park Hyatt Paris.

For me: I was staying at the Park Hyatt Melbourne in a $2k+/night ambassador suite and I left to do laundry at a coin laundry mat 10min away. I said at the time it's probably the first ever Uber from that room to that laundromat.

Share your whimsical travel story of living the high life while on a budget.

My father was doing hashgacha in Mauritius and was put up in one of the fanciest hotels there. So he's sitting in his 5 star room about to make himself a tuna sandwich when he realizes he doesn't have a can opener. He calls in a request and two minutes later there is a white-gloved guy at his door with a massive, ornate golden tray with a stupid can opener lying in the center.

Most of mine center around public transit to/from luxury hotels. WAJ, PHP, and WA Cabo all come to mind. Shame there's not a public ferry that serves SR MLE.

Getting off last from an LO 737 via the rear door after travelling in J, to be picked up by the Mercedes in FRA.

I was staying in an Anatara resort near chiang rai in Thailand and didn’t want to pay for a taxi to town. The hotel workers helped me hitchhike a ride in the back of a pickup truck. They all thought it was the most absurd thing. I guess most people opt for a taxi lol
