After getting off my international flight from LAX and clearing customs and immigration, I headed to the domestic terminal for my connecting flight to SYD. Australia seems to have a lot less security theater than the US, which was very much appreciated. Qantas has two sorts of domestic lounges: Qantas Clubs and Qantas Domestic Business…
I was really excited to try a number of different airport lounges on this trip, and first up was the relatively new oneworld Business Class Lounge at Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX. Unfortunately, the first class lounge wasn’t yet open by the time I was there (and in fact opened up only a month…
I’ve previously reviewed the ANA Suite and Business Class Lounges at Satellite 5, but I checked ou the ANA Suite Lounge at Satellite 4 this time around. Unlike the last time I was at the ANA Suite Lounge, it wasn’t particularly crowded, and there were plenty of different seating options to choose from. If it…
The United lounges at NRT and HKG are regularly cited as the best United lounges in their network, which is perhaps more a testament to the fact that US lounges are pretty crappy. But on my layover at NRT between my two Singapore Suites flights, I decided to stop by the United Global First lounge…
Before my flight to Dallas, I used the Cathay Pacific Lounge at PVG. The lounge entrance is right next to the First Class No. 69 lounge that I’ve reviewed before (the numbers refer to the gates that they’re closest to; not sure what the first class refers since that lounge isn’t limited to first class…
While there are a number of reviews of the Singapore Airlines Private Room at Singapore Changi airport, I don’t really recall seeing many reviews of the First Class Lounge (I’ve reviewed the business class lounge in the past). Part of the reason for the dearth of reviews of the first class lounge is likely because…
One of the primary reasons why I wanted to end my southeast Asia trip in Singapore was to depart Singapore in Singapore Airlines first class. Or more specifically, Suites Class, as I chose to fly back to the US via NRT and LAX instead of through ICN or HKG straight to SFO just so I…
Q: Where is the lounge? A: Terminal 3, near Gate 74. It’s right beside the airside connector between Terminal 3 and the International G gates, and it’s where premium security at SFO used to be for United. Q: Can I access this lounge even if I’m not flying United? A: Yes! Any boarding pass at…
Upon arrival at the Bangkok airport, I was greeted with a buggy to take me to the lounge or immigration. I originally had a relatively short layover, but Thai decided to cancel the BKK-HAN flight that I was on, so I had a pretty lengthy layover instead, so I ended up deciding to spend some…
Upon arrival at Frankfurt, I received an escort from Thai since I was connecting to a Thai first class flight. Normally, if you depart in Star Alliance first class out of Frankfurt, you only get Lufthansa Senator Lounge access (the same lounge that Star Alliance Gold gets), but since I was getting off a Lufthansa…
