This guy also took the $23,000 Suites Class on Singapore Airlines from Singapore to NYC.

edit: i learned that most of this is plagiarized. it's baffling that he would take such a trip and yet still plagiarize a bunch of the content.

No he didn't. Derek Low is a notorious plagiarist; these stories were discredited back when they first appeared on HN and Reddit last year.

Oh wow, thanks. Is that not him in the photos? Or is he only just plagiarizing the text?

Looking into it further (it's been a while, never expected to see him back on the front page), it seems he did take the trip but plagiarized most of the images (except the ones of him and his boarding pass) and much of the text/captions.

I .... don't know what to say. It's not as if the text he plagiarized was top-class writing! It's just observations and feelings; it would have been far easier to just write down what he was thinking! What is wrong with these people.

He's a plagiarist. Please don't link to him.
