I had a roughly 1hr45min layover in Munich, as I was arriving from Tokyo Haneda and connecting to London Heathrow. I was expecting I wouldn't be able to review a Lufthansa Lounge, because the last time I passed through Munich the lounge was so full that…
I was flying Lufthansa's A350-900 business class from Tokyo Haneda to Munich at 12:45PM, though decided to head over to the All Nippon Airways Business Class Lounge the second it opened, so that I could get pictures before the lounge filled up. All Nippon…
As I mentioned in the previous post, I had quite a long layover at JFK, as I arrived at around 10AM from Miami, and departed at around 5PM to Tokyo. With my ANA business class ticket I had access to the British Airways Club Lounge, so I wanted to review…
I had quite a long layover at JFK, as I arrived from Miami at around 10AM, and was continuing to Tokyo on All Nippon Airways at around 5PM. So I headed over to Terminal 7 right away, where I'll be reviewing two lounges -- the Alaska Lounge (which I could…
To kick off my review trip I flew Delta first class from Miami to New York. Fun fact, which just occurred to me -- I believe this was my first time in over a year flying an airline other than American out of Miami. I was curious to see what Delta's concourse…
Flagship First Dining is American's most exclusive lounge facility, and I was looking forward to checking out the DFW location, which is the last one I hadn't yet visited. Flagship First Dining is also the only time you'll be served Krug champagne when…
While my flight to Hong Kong was only departing at 10:40AM, I got to the airport at around 4:30AM, so that I could get to the Flagship Lounge right when it opened (so that I could photograph it while it was still empty). Over the past several years,…
Since I had some extra time during my layover in Hong Kong, I decided I should check out at least one additional Cathay Pacific lounge. Cathay Pacific has some exceptional lounges, and over the years I've visited most of their locations in Hong Kong.…
Hong Kong has some of my favorite first class lounges in the world, in particular the Cathay Pacific Pier First Class Lounge. However, my first stop at Hong Kong Airpot was a Plaza Premium Lounge that I had to pay to access. Why on earth would I do that?!…
Qantas just recently opened their First Lounge at Changi Airport, which adds some much needed lounge capacity for oneworld (and particularly Qantas) at Changi, given how overcrowded lounges here get. This is Qantas' fourth "true" First Lounge in the…
I was flying from Singapore to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific shortly after 8PM, so my goal was to check out both the Cathay Pacific Lounge and Qantas Lounge. Since the Qantas Lounge opens at 2:30PM, my initial plan was to go there first and then later…
As a kid I used to love going to malls. I'm not sure why, exactly, because I've never been into shopping. Over the years my desire to visit malls changed, and at this point I think the only time I visit malls is when I'm in parts of the Middle East/Asia,…
Welcome to a review of what's possibly one of the most beautiful Priority Pass lounges I've been to, but also by far the most pointless. This is a lounge that's inside a mall that's within an airport. A couple of installments from now I'll be reviewing…
I had a roughly five hour layover in Helsinki, as I arrived shortly before 7PM from London, and would be departing shortly before midnight to Singapore. I was quite looking forward to this layover, because earlier this year Finnair opened their new Platinum…
I had quite a long layover at Heathrow Airport, so my first order of business was to check out the British Airways Arrivals Lounge, which I had never visited before. Arrivals lounges can be useful for early arrivals, and that's probably true at Heathrow…
My trip started off with a flight in British Airways' A350-1000 Club Suites business class from Toronto to London Heathrow. I flew up from Miami the same day, though planned a long layover just in case there were any delays. First I spent some time in…
I had a 6:50AM Brussels Airlines flight from London Heathrow Terminal 2, so I got to the terminal at around 4:45AM. Terminal 2 is used primarily by Star Alliance airlines, though I've reviewed all the Star Alliance lounge options, including the lounges…
I got to Paris Orly Airport at around 12PM, plenty early for my 2:30PM La Compagnie flight to Newark. I initially struggled to find La Compagnie's check-in counter. Orly Airport has four check-in "sections" (I don't think they're actually necessarily…
I arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle around 8AM, and I had a flight out of Paris Orly at 2:30PM. My first stop was the Air France Arrivals Lounge, both to get a shower, and also to get some work done. This isn't Air France's fault, but I despise Charles…
While I spent most of my long layover in Toronto at the Air France-KLM Lounge (I'm not actually sure why), I did briefly stop by the Plaza Premium Lounge located right across the hall, as I figured I might as well review it. Plaza Premium actually has…
The first segment of my trip was on Air France's brand new A350-900 from Toronto to Paris. While the flight was only departing at 6:45PM, I ended up getting to Toronto Pearson Airport before 12PM, as I wanted to make sure I didn't miss my connection,…
