Review: EgyptAir Alioth Lounge Cairo (CAI)
The EgyptAir Alitoth Lounge in Cairo Terminal 3 is easily the best EgyptAir lounge in the airport. Bright and spacious, it certainly beats the nearby Almeisan and Gienah lounges. EgyptAir Alioth Lounge Review Rather than offer a huge, central...
Review: EgyptAir Almeisan Lounge Cairo (CAI)
After breakfast in the EgyptAir Gienah Lounge, I walked to the Almeisan Lounge, which turned out to be almost a mirror image lounge, but provided space and tranquilly for me to get some work done during my extended layover. EgyptAir...
Review: First Class Lounge Cairo (CAI)

Review: EgyptAir Gienah Lounge Cairo (CAI)
After stepping off my EgyptAir flight and then dealing with the drama at the transit desk, I was famished. Upstairs, I quickly found the Gienah Lounge, one of several EgyptAir lounges in Terminal 3. EgyptAir Gienah Lounge Review Rather...

UPDATE: Swiss has moved to Terminal 1 at JFK. This lounge is now the new Wingtips Lounge and no longer a SWISS – Star Alliance Lounge. SWISS has done a marvelous job remodeling its Terminal 4 lounge at New...
Review: Avianca VIP Lounge El Salvador (SAL)
My love of the Avianca VIP lounge in San Salvador can be summed up in three words: chicken tortilla soup. That made an otherwise drab lounge a rather nice place spend a very long layover in El Salvador International...

Review: Be Relax Spa LAX (Priority Pass)
I recently checked out the Be Relax Spa in Terminal 1 at Los Angeles International Airpot (LAX), a new addition to the Priority Pass lounge network. My recommendation: allow yourself plenty of time. But it’s a nice addition, especially...
Review: Wingtips Lounge (JFK)
If you must, you can stop by this lounge…but the Wingtips Lounge in Terminal 4 at New York JFK is not a lounge I would ever go out of my way to visit. Wingtips Lounge (JFK) Review I recently...

Review: United Club Houston (IAH – C33)
When I step into this lounge, it feels like old times flying on Continental Airlines. The core of the lounge has not been updated in years, though it has aged well. I also found this lounge less busy than...
Review: United Club Houston (IAH – Terminal C1)
In all my years of flying, I’ve rarely seen a lounge this packed. After just a few moments in the Terminal C North (C1) United Club at Houston Bush Intercontinental (IAH), I turned around and left. This is a...
Review: United Club Houston (IAH – Terminal B)
Although only offering pre-packaged food items, the Terminal B United Club was the least crowded of the four I visited at Houston Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and very much an old-school Continental lounge in terms of appearance. United Club Houston...
