The Capital One Lounge Grab and Go concept is a joke. Earlier this month, I had booked an itinerary with a nearly 2.5 hour layover at DFW (Dallas). The goal was to head towards the Capital One Lounge, no matter which terminal played host to my connecting gate. Turns out that my first flight was […]

United Is Adding Flights from Newark to this Scottish Gem
Did you think I was referring to Aberdeen, the oil capital? Maybe from Houston. Having temporarily suspended routes between the United States and Scotland during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, United was the first U.S. carrier to resume flights between the two places back in March 2022, from NY/Newark EWR to Edinburgh EDI.
