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…
As I’m preparing to embark on a trip to Southeast Asia that I’m super excited about, I went through some past photos and realized that I have several trips that I never wrote up. This one is from the end of 2014. I took a quick trip to Boston and flew back to SFO through…
I’ve previously reviewed the No. 69 and No. 68 (Cathay Pacific) lounges in Shanghai, but on my most recent layover in Shanghai, I decided to visit No. 77 because it had been recently renovated. I accessed this lounge via Priority Pass. My first impressions were that this lounge is really quite nice. There’s tons and…
At Rome Fiumicino airport, the lounge options are relatively limited. Alitalia has a lounge, but most everyone else (i.e. not Skyteam) is sent to Le Anfore lounge, which is also accessible via Priority Pass. The lounges are right next to each other, and the entrance is near gate G11. The lounge is a decent size…
Right next to the British Airways Terraces Lounge in Terminal 3 is the Escape Lounge. This lounge is used by Skyteam airlines, and it’s also accessible via Priority Pass, which is how I entered. I really enjoyed this lounge, especially since it was accessible via Priority Pass. It felt super modern, there was lots of…
Let me first say that transferring from an international to a domestic flight in Manchester is confusing. Possibly because it’s relatively uncommon to do so. For most airline transfers at Manchester, you don’t go through the normal immigration process, but you instead have to head to the transfer point, which in this case was a bus…
I normally wouldn’t review American Airlines business class, but I thought it’d be fun to review a flight in business class on one of the US Airways A330s. My first international business class flight was actually in US Airways Envoy class, so it was fun to see how the product has changed now that it’s…
