Lounge Review: No 1 Lounge London Heathrow (LHR) Terminal 3

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…

Lounge Review: British Airways Galleries First Lounge LHR Terminal 3

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…

Lounge Review: American Airlines Flagship Lounge LHR Terminal 3

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…

Lounge Review: Cathay Pacific First Class Lounge LHR Terminal 3

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…

Lounge Review: Cathay Pacific The Arrival Hong Kong Airport (HKG)

I’ve reviewed essentially every oneworld departure lounge at Hong Kong airport, but this was my first time stopping by Cathay Pacific’s arrivals lounge at HKG, appropriately named “The Arrival”. To get to the arrivals lounge, you should follow the signs to “Pay-in/Shower lounges”. The Arrival is located just across from the Plaza Premium arrivals lounge. The…

Lounge Review: Cathay Pacific Lounge Penang Airport (PEN)

The Penang airport is a pretty nice airport. They advertise having free wifi, and there are lots of USB charging stations. It’s not a particularly large airport, so it doesn’t take too long to get to the gates either. On this trip, I stopped by the Cathay Pacific lounge prior to my departure. All of…

Lounge Review: Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge Domestic Terminal KUL

Malaysia Airlines has a great domestic terminal lounge near gate A2. It’s pretty great as far as domestic lounges go. The lounge has lots of seating, and there are lots of windows, so plenty of natural light. They also have a phone charging station, which can be useful. The food selection is pretty extensive for…

Lounge Review: American Airlines Flagship Lounge Chicago O’Hare Airport (ORD)

The AA ORD Flagship Lounge is a decent domestic lounge for US lounges: there’s some food and drinks, there’s usually a place to sit, the wifi is usable, and there are electrical outlets. But this lounge is clearly not up to par for international first class, or much less international business class lounges. I feel…

Trip Report: Qantas Domestic Business Lounge Melbourne (MEL) Review

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…
