My recent United Airlines #platinumchallenge (covered before, during and after) took me to Hong Kong for a quick visit. While there, I thought I’d schedule a visit to the the upgraded Plaza Premium First Lounge inside HKG’s Terminal 1…but this wasn’t my first time here. Turns out, this had been […]
Next-Level Lounging Without the Pesky Flying A full half-day behind the press preview of the all-new United EWR (New York – Newark) Polaris Lounge, I’m in. The earliest preview I could get cost 2500 MileagePlus miles and Uber fare but from what I’ve seen here it was worth it. Sure, […]
Wait a Minute. Where am I? Even I was confused pulling into a Terminal 3 gate on a recent arrival to LAX on Delta. I WAS aware that the airlines had shifted buildings, but didn’t remember that this was the terminal Virgin America once flew from …and one that I […]

So Many Chairs. There are a lot of seats in this Lisbon Airport lounge but few that give you much space. The blocky couches near the entrance give the area a mod dentist waiting room vibe and serve as an uncomfortable spot to wait for something better to open up. Even beyond […]
Big Rooms Full of Chairs. Unlike it’s cross-Atlantic cousin at JFK, this Lufthansa Senator Lounge near gate B43 at Frankfurt’s terminal isn’t short on space. The good amount of extra square footage allows for big open rooms of seating. The large window-side hall is full of generic loungers and a few […]
