Review: ANA Economy Class NRT to SEA on Boeing 787

ByEdward December 27, 2013

When I went to scan my boarding pass to get on this flight, the machine angrily beeped at me, as I was supposedly pre-chosen to have a pat down prior to boarding. As far as I could tell, there were only three names on this list of passengers to get extra security. I had called…

Review: United Club Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT)

ByEdward December 26, 2013

The United Club in Tokyo Narita was actually the very first airport lounge that I had ever visited. At the time, I was amazed that you could shower at the airport and that there was free food (although the food was devoured almost instantly whenever a server would put out more food as the lounge…

Review: Korean Air Lounge Tokyo Narita Airport (NRT)

ByEdward December 25, 2013

On my way back from Hong Kong, I had about a two hour layover in Tokyo Narita, so I decided to check out two lounges I hadn’t yet reviewed, as I had already been to the ANA Suite and Business Class lounges a couple of weeks prior. My first stop was the Korean Air Lounge,…

As I was traveling over the week of Thanksgiving and wanted to spend Thanksgiving itself with my family in Seattle, I needed to fly from Hong Kong to Seattle. This gave me a good excuse to route through Tokyo Narita to fly ANA’s 787 between NRT and SEA, as my only other time aboard a…

Review: United Club Hong Kong (HKG)

ByEdward December 19, 2013

United.com No Longer Showing Singapore Award Space

ByEdward December 12, 2013

I was searching for award space on SQ 2 from Hong Kong to San Francisco for a friend in economy class, and I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t even SEE the flight on United.com, especially since I found space on ANA’s website (which does show availability for economy space, just not for premium cabins on…

Review: Finnair Lounge Helsinki Vantaa Airport (HEL)

ByEdward December 10, 2013December 10, 2023

The second lounge that I stopped in at the Helsinki airport was the lounge that I could access via my oneworld status, which was Finnair’s lounge (although it used to be accessible via Priority Pass as well). When I was checking into the Finnair lounge, I asked a question about seating on my flight, and…

Should You (Or I) Take Advantage of the US Airways Share Miles Promo?

ByEdward December 3, 2013

At only 90k for a business class ticket to North Asia (which generously includes Hong Kong and Taipei), you’re looking at paying around $1100 for a business class ticket…
