Review: Dragonair G16 Lounge Hong Kong Airport (HKG)

After the Qantas Hong Kong Lounge, my next stop was the Dragonair G16 lounge, which is right beside the Qantas lounge. I would not stop here unless you’re playing HKG airport lounge bingo, as there aren’t many redeeming qualities of this lounge, particularly with the Qantas lounge right next door. In fact, when I entered…

Review: Qantas Business Class Lounge Hong Kong Airport (HKG)

One of the lounges that I was most excited to try on my layover in Hong Kong was the recently opened Qantas Hong Kong lounge. This is one of the newest lounges in Hong Kong, and it’s definitely one of the best business class lounges I’ve been to. The lounge is large and long. It’s…

Review: Cathay Pacific Lounge KUL (Kuala Lumpur) Airport

I was flying Cathay Pacific from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong, so I decided to stop by the Cathay Pacific lounge at KUL. This is a super standard international business class lounge, and you should almost surely go to the Malaysia Airlines lounge instead of this one (if you’re accessing the lounge via status or…

Review: Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge and First Class Lounge Satellite Terminal KUL (Kuala Lumpur)

Given that my flight arrived from Sydney so early in the morning, I thought I’d try to hang around the airport for a little bit before heading into the city and trying to check in early to my hotel. Thankfully, at the Kuala Lumpur airport, both arrivals and departures are mixed, so it is feasible…

New(ish) Yoga Room and Airside Terminal 1 and 2 Connector at SFO

This is maybe old news to other people, but it’s relatively new news to me: there’s a new yoga room at SFO, and there’s an airside (i.e. post-security) connector between Terminal 1 (gates 40-48) and Terminal 2. The yoga room is located along this corridor. To get to the airside connector from Terminal 2, just…

MH 140 SYD to KUL Depart: 9:40pm Arrive: 4:30am Duration: 8h 50m Aircraft: A330-300 Seat: 2A To get from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur, I chose to fly Malaysia Airlines. This was my first time flying Malaysia Airlines, and I’m saddened that they’ve had so many unfortunate incidents and are going through hard times as I think…

Trip Report: Qantas First Class Lounge Sydney Airport Review

Besides flying Qantas First Class on the A380 (which turned out to be a really disappointing experience), I was super excited to visit the Qantas First Class Lounge in Sydney, given that I had heard it was one of the best airport lounges in the world. While I didn’t get to try the complimentary spa…

QF 426 MEL to SYD Depart: 11:00am Arrive: 12:25pm Duration: 1h 25m Aircraft: Boeing 767-300 Seat: 4A After being impressed by the Qantas Domestic Business Class Lounge, I headed to my short flight from Melbourne to Sydney to check out Qantas’s domestic business class in-flight offerings. I was immediately impressed by the cabin. 2-2-2 seating…

American Airlines Executive Platinum Members Can Check Up To 210 Pounds of Luggage for Free

See title. Moving makes me feel stupid. I don’t do it very often, so when the occasion does come around, I don’t really know what to do. But it seems like one of those things where someone who optimizes can potentially save a lot of time or hassle, but it’s unclear how much time to invest…
