How much EES layover time should you leave for a Europe connection? More than you think. Since EES went fully live on April 10, 2026, biometric checks have pushed peak border queues to two to five hours, and travelers are missing connections. Build in three hours or more and treat […]
What should you know before your first airport lounge visit? Mostly, do ten minutes of homework first. Read a recent review or forum thread for that specific lounge: the layout, where the buffet is, when food service changes. Walk in knowing the lay of the land and you skip the […]
Air France opened its first dedicated Heathrow lounge in 17 years on July 7, 2026, a 750-square-meter space in Terminal 4. But whether you can walk in depends on your fare code, not your cabin. A Business Standard or Flex ticket gets you in. Business Light does not, unless you […]
If you fly four to ten times a year, you probably don’t need a credit card with a $595-$895 annual fee. I’ve seen the marketing. They promise an “elevated” experience, but for the occasional traveler, the math rarely adds up for a premium card just to get a few snacks […]
On July 8, 2026 — less than a month away — American Express is changing who can walk through the Centurion Lounge door with you. Not the guest fees, which have been $50 per adult and $30 per child since 2023. The same-flight rule: starting July 8, every guest has […]
Global entry renewal has one rule: do it exactly one year before expiration. That’s the short version. You won’t lose any time on your current membership, and if you submit your renewal before expiration, you’ll trigger a 24-month grace period that keeps your benefits active while the government takes its […]
DFW was a mess. Total mayhem. Severe thunderstorms in North Texas turned the airport into a parking lot over Memorial Day, with FAA ground stops making a bad situation even worse. Then Denver got hit with an FAA ground stop mess. And LaGuardia had the sinkhole problem on Runway 4/22 […]
The Spirit Airlines shutdown in 2026 is going to be one of those travel stories people pretend is only about one airline. It’s not. The “Yellow Bus” (or “flying banana” as my kids like to call it ) finally pulled into the hangar for good on May 2nd after that […]
Searching for a CDG fast track option under the new EES rules is suddenly a very practical question, not some airport-nerd rabbit hole for the 1%. The EES — short for EU Entry/Exit System — is the new biometric border registration that replaced passport stamping across 29 Schengen countries on […]
