Thanks to rolling delays due to poor weather in Beijing, I ended up spending seven hours in the China Southern lounge in Guangzhou. It wasn’t great, but could have been worse. Guangzhou is a behemoth airport and it took...
Review: Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge Bangkok (BKK)
Modern, hip, and bright, the Singapore Airlines Lounge is a nice alternative to the Thai Airways Business Class Lounge In Bangkok. Rather than rows of uniforms chairs, this lounge offers a mix of comfortable chairs, most with power outlets...
Review: Bangkok Airways Lounge Bangkok (BKK)
The Bangkok Airways lounge is a comfortable and well-appointed Priority Pass Lounge at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Style is subjective, but I really liked the furniture, artwork, flooring, and wallpaper in this lounge. Perhaps that is a tertiary issue, but...
Review: Turkish Airlines Lounge Bangkok (BKK)
Although the Turkish Airlines in Bangkok is open 24/7, don’t show up in the middle of the night if you are hungry. I start with that observation because Turkish lounges are known for their excellent food. Even the outstation...
Review: ANA Suite Lounge Tokyo Haneda (HND)
I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the ANA Suite Lounge in Tokyo Haneda. Not only did I experience excellent service and comfort, but a tasty menu. But one key missing aspect knocks this lounge out of...
Review: Sleepbox Lounge Washington Dulles (IAD)
The new Sleepbox Lounge at Washington Dulles International Airport is pricey for an extended stay, but a great place to take a power nap between flights. Last week, Priority Pass added Sleepbox as a new lounge at Washington Dulles....
Review: ANA Suite Lounge Honolulu (HNL)
The ANA Suite Lounge in Honolulu may not be the best first class lounge in the world, but it’s now probably the best airport lounge in HNL. The food and drink selection is a bit better than the business...
Review: ANA Lounge Honolulu (HNL)
The new ANA lounge in Honolulu is an architectural masterpiece and a superb lounge option for Star Alliance Gold travelers at HNL. Fair warning: it’s a quite a walk from most United gates if you are traveling, which I...
Review: Etihad Premium Lounge Abu Dhabi (AUH)
The Etihad Premium Lounge in Abu Dhabi Terminal 3 is expansive with comfortable seating and good food. I’m going to limit this review to mainly photos because they paint a holistic portrait of this lounge, but a few thoughts....
Review: Maldivian Moonimaa Lounge (MLE)
Three hours in the Moonimaa Lounge inside the domestic terminal of Male Airport in the Maldives was more than enough. There’s nothing wrong with the lounge…it served its purpose just fine. I just wouldn’t get here early. Access for...
Review: Etihad Lounge London (LHR)
The Etihad Lounge in London Heathrow T4, now called “The House”, is not what it once was…but still an above-average lounge at LHR. A disclaimer is appropriate here. I’m in the midst of my final “vintage” trip report…you can...
Review: Emirates First Class Lounge Dubai (B Concourse)
The Emirates First Class Lounge in Dubai’s Concourse B is well-suited for the huge crowds that pass through it each day, but lacks the intimacy and luxury that typically characterizes a first class lounge. I say it is huge–and...
Review: SWISS Senator Lounge Zurich (A Gates)
The SWISS Senator Lounge in the A Gates (Schengen) area of Zurich is a great lounge to dine or relax in before your flight. I arrived at ZRH 30 minutes earlier than I normally would in order to try...
One Year Later: How Is United Polaris Lounge Holding Up At SFO?
Between flights last weekend, I had 2.5 hours in United’s SFO Polaris Lounge. How is it holding up one year later? I’ve reviewed this lounge twice already…once during a media preview and again as a passenger. The lounge is...
Review: Plaza Premium Lounge Rome (FCO)
I raved about the food in this Priority Pass Lounge last week, but will provide details here on the entire lounge experience at the Plaza Premium Lounge in Rome Fiumicino (FCO). The lounge is open 24/7, though there are...
Review: Star Alliance Lounge Rome (FCO)
The Star Alliance lounge in Rome Fiumicino (FCO) is so lovely that I’d get to the airport early just for a few minutes in it. Located in the intra-Schengen Area (Zone D) of Terminal 3, this lounge offers a...
Review: Club Sea | Sala Leonardo – Milan (LIN)
The Sala Leonardo Lounge at Milan Linate Airport (LIN) proved an excellent oasis for a famished traveler… After a long day of driving and meetings–plus some drama at the Alitalia ticket counter–I finally reached the Sala Leonardo Lounge tired and hungry....
Review: United Arrivals Lounge London (LHR)
After my flight from Los Angeles to London Heathrow, I checked out United’s Arrivals Lounge in Terminal 2 for a shower and breakfast. I last reviewed this lounge back in 2014 and it really hasn’t changed. Upon entry, a...
Review: Qantas Lounge London (LHR – T3)
The Qantas Lounge in London Heathrow Terminal 3 is an ideal alternative to the nearby British Airways Lounge. Business class passengers on oneworld as well as oneworld frequent flyers (Emerald or Sapphire status) have access to this exceptional lounge, open daily...
Review: Coral Lounge Don Muang International Airport, Bangkok
My credit cards give me a membership in the Priority Pass program which allows me to use lounges all over the world. But Don Muang International in Bangkok, the discounter hub is not where you’d expect to find one....
