I’ve reviewed the Emirates First Class Lounge at Dubai before, but that was in 2013, so here’s an updated review. The entrance to the spa is right in front of the entrance to the first class lounge. As a First Class passenger, you’re entitled to a complimentary treatment. This time, I chose a haircut since…
This was my second flight in Emirates Airlines First Class on their A380. Emirates was actually the first airline that I ever flew in international first class, so it has a special place in my heart. Boarding was a bit delayed due to a late-arriving aircraft, but I was welcomed warmly on board once boarding…
This next trip from the depths of my photo archives occurred in February 2015. I had a wedding to go to in Jakarta, so I decided to make a pit stop in Singapore–one of my favorite food cities in the world–on the way there. To get to Singapore, I flew Emirates first class, booked with 100k…
I’ve flown Cathay Pacific’s A330 within Asia in business class multiple times (including on the reverse direction of this route), but this time I was in Cathay Pacific’s economy class on the A330. Boarding was a bit of a zoo. They put on the boarding passes that you should get to the gate 40 minutes prior…
On this trip, I visited both the Cathay Pacific and Japan Airlines lounges at the Bangkok airport (BKK). I would write a review of the Cathay Pacific lounge, but 1) it was pretty terrible, and 2) the Cathay Pacific lounge has since been expanded and renovated. I’ll be visiting the renovated Cathay Pacific lounge in…
For this quick trip to Bangkok, I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Sathorn. At the time, this hotel was on PointsBreak, so I was able to book it for 5000 IHG points per night. That being said, I felt like I still overpaid paying 5000 points per night, which is indicative of my overall sentiment…
I’m currently transiting through Hong Kong airport, and I have the good fortune to be transiting just a week after Cathay Pacific reopened their Pier Business Class Lounge. I’ve reviewed the renovated Pier First Class Lounge before, which is one of my favorite airport lounges in the world. I’ll just go ahead and say that…
To get from Tokyo to Bangkok, I flew Japan Airlines in economy class on a Boeing 767 plane. The first thing I noticed upon entering the plane was that the seats and cabin looked pretty old. A nice thing was that it was only 2-3-2 seating in economy class, and the load was pretty light,…
There are two oneworld lounges in the Satellite Terminal of NRT: the JAL lounges and the Qantas lounge, which I’m reviewing here. (For oneworld lounges at NRT, there’s also the JAL lounges in the main terminal, the AA Admirals Club, and a Cathay Pacific lounge). The Qantas lounge at Narita is very spacious with tons of seating….
I’ve reviewed the JAL First Class Lounge in the Main Terminal of Tokyo Narita (NRT) airport before, but this trip (in November 2014) was my first time in the First Class Lounge in the Satellite terminal. I love Japan Airlines much more than many travel bloggers, mostly because I think they have great food (except for…
