If you’re flying out of Munich’s Terminal 2, you may want to know that it currently doesn’t have Priority Pass lounges. Lufthansa lounges, for sure, but that’s about it. Then … how does one get to Airport Lounge World? Consequently, if you have the time — and zeal — to get to a Priority Pass […]
Food
Sapporo, Japan’s Miso Ramen (味噌ラーメン)
In addition to Japan’s most well-known home-grown soup, miso soup, there have historically been others – houtou, with pumpkin, mushrooms, and meat, and miso nikomi made in a clay pot – that employ both noodles and miso, or fermented soybeans.

Review: Los Angeles American Airlines Flagship Lounge
In many ways, the Los Angeles American Airlines Flagship Lounge is the opposite of the Nagoya Centrair Airline Lounge. For starters, it has food. And windows.

Whereas the crux of this article will cover the Riyadh Saudia Alfursan Lounge, I will also cover some aspects of the Riyadh airport (RUH) experience, as well as Saudia business class from Riyadh to Dubai. From Check-in to the Lounge Riyadh airport is huge. However, Terminals 1-4 are interconnected; if you happen to be leaving […]
Dubai Emirates Business Lounge, Concourse B
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 […]
Singapore Airlines Trialing Paper Utensils
One of these days, I’m hoping to read that airlines will start introducing “Turkish food” as an option, but until then, I have some news about how your next in-flight meal might be presented.
