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 […]
The new Centurion Lounge guest rules 2026 restrict entry to same-flight travel and cap layovers at five hours. For the occasional upgrader, these changes rarely break the value proposition. While the convenience has dipped, the $895 card remains a keeper only if you maximize the aggregate credits rather than relying […]
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 […]

But it’s real, and it’s now part of United’s new tiered fare structure for premium cabins, including Polaris and Premium Plus on select long-haul international, transcontinental, and Hawaii routes. The idea is […]
February 1, 2026. The date the Venture X party ended. Capital One finally pulled the plug on the most generous guest policy in the premium card market. No more “bring the whole squad” for free. The era of the “free lunch” in Denver, Dallas, Dulles, LAS, and JFK is officially […]
Is the former Northwest WorldClub accross the hall haunted? How does it still look more inviting from the outside than the Delta SkyClub at Newark? We return to the Sky Club to see if much has changed and capture anything we missed on our last visit.
