I’ve reviewed every other oneworld lounge in Hong Kong (the Wing, the Cabin, the Bridge, the Arrival, the Qantas lounge, and the Dragonair lounge), as well as many other lounges in Hong Kong (the Plaza Premium lounge, the United lounge, the Thai Airways lounge, and the Singapore Airlines lounge). I’ve even reviewed the old Pier…
Disclaimer: I visited this lounge quite a while ago, so things may have changed since my visit. When I visited this lounge, I was connecting from an international first class flight to a domestic first class flight. According to oneworld lounge rules, I should have had access to the Qantas First Class lounge in the…
This lounge is accessible via Priority Pass, and it’s one of the nicest Priority Pass lounges that I’ve been to. You can also buy access if you don’t Priority Pass. The lounge has pretty swanky furnishings and a number of different rooms and seating areas. It feels more like a hip hotel than an airport…
I’ve visited the British Airways Concorde Room and Galleries First Lounge in Terminal 5 before. This is a review of the Galleries First Lounge in Terminal 3. Again, there are three oneworld lounges in Terminal 3: British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and American Airlines. While there’s really no reason to visit the AA lounge, the BA…
Up next in the reviews of Heathrow Terminal 3 lounges is the American Airlines Flagship Lounge. To save you some time, I don’t know why you would come to this lounge unless for some reason you need really fast wifi. Honestly, I found this lounge depressing after visiting the Cathay Pacific lounge. The lounge looks…
There are 3 oneworld lounges in Terminal 3 of London Heathrow, and they’re all pretty close to each other. My personal favorite is the Cathay Pacific lounge, which is reviewed here. (Note that this lounge is currently closed for renovations and is scheduled to reopen in June 2016) The lounge isn’t huge, but I’m impressed…
Fontainebleau is a relatively small town outside of Paris. Some tourists take the shortish (~40 minute) train ride out to Fontainebleau to visit the famous chateau in this city. When I visited Fontainebleau, I decided to dine at L’axel for lunch, which has one Michelin star. Because I wasn’t sure about my schedule, I just walked into…
Last year (around this time, in fact), I needed to fly to France for a couple of days. Because I was living in SF at the time, I could take the nonstop on Air France or United, or I could connect on American Airlines. Even though it wasn’t good for my status requalification, I decided to…
I use Airbnb a fair amount when I travel. I haven’t found major hotel loyalty programs to be that compelling given my travel habits, so I often check alternative travel accommodations like Airbnb before I even search for a hotel. I’ve generally had good experiences with Airbnb. It does take a bit more effort to…
Yes, provided that you’re flying with American Airlines that day. You also get your two free guests when using your Citi Prestige card. The Airspace Lounge at San Diego Airport (SAN) is functionally an Admirals Club in terms of access rules, with the addition that you can get free access (plus a credit!) if you…
