The Dubai Emirates Business Lounge at Concourse B … oh, a good* airport lounge for once. (We’ll get to that asterisk later) However, getting to the lounge wasn’t so peachy. I was in Saudia business, coming into Dubai (DXB) Terminal 1, needing to get to Emirates’ hub over at Terminal 3. For those in a […]
Lounge Review: Nagoya (NGO) Centrair Airline Domestic Lounge and More
I’ve finally found a lounge as miserable as the Priority Pass one in Chicago O’Hare’s Terminal 5. And it’s the Nagoya Centrair Airline Lounge (click to skip ahead)… in Japan? First, a smidgen of background about today’s Nagoya aviation. After another recent trip to the country, this time was a little different in that I was […]
Trip Report: Zagreb primeclass lounge and Turkish Airlines Regional Business Class
After about one week visiting Croatia, I had to go to Saudi Arabia for some meetings. (so much for the name of my website) From the main bus station in Zagreb, the airport bus took around 30-35 minutes. (fyi, it was roughly the same time coming into the city) Flying Turkish Airlines out of a […]
Review: Domestic Sakura Lounge at Tokyo Haneda International Airport (HND)

Review: British Airways Club Lounge South at Terminal 5

However, having Oneworld airline alliance status meant that I was able to spend my long layover at the British Airways Club […]
Lounge Review: Boston Admirals Club
No doubt a center of education, technology, and tourism, the Boston metro area has a busy hub over at Logan International Airport. Delta and jetBlue regularly vie to see which has the biggest … market share, with American Airlines, former number one at the airport, sitting comfortably in third place. Still, third place in Boston […]
Lounge Review: St. Louis Admirals Club
Airport lounges getting too “crowded” for you? Good news*: If you’re flying a oneworld Alliance carrier, then you may want to include the St. Louis Admirals Club on your next itinerary. *rules for entry vary based on a number of factors such as ticket class, destination, credit card, stormy weather, Congress, etc. Not being familiar […]
How Awecool: China is Reopening to Tourism
After nearly three years, China will be reopening to tourism. Starting from 15 March, you can once again dust off those Chinese tourist visas. Better yet, if you had a Chinese tourism visa issued before 28 March 2020 — that is, the date China sealed itself off from the world — those will return to […]
