Before boarding my Lufthansa First Class flight to Frankfurt I made sure to arrive at Chicago O’Hare International extremely early. Although my flight didn’t depart until 10PM I ended up getting to the airport around 6PM. That gave me about 4 hours to visit several Star Alliance lounges in Chicago O’Hare. I know getting to…
Hello again from the United Polaris Lounge. I’m currently sitting in the lounge waiting to board my Lufthansa First Class flight to Frankfurt. I’m flying to Frankfurt tonight to begin my trip to Stockholm. I have access to this lounge because I’m flying in a premium cabin on a Star Alliance operated flight. Those flying…
During my OneWorld Twice To Oslo I purposely planned two long layovers in London Heathrow airport. I spent much of the first long layover in the fantastic Cathay Pacific First Class Lounge. For my second long layover I decided to visit another one of the several OneWorld Lounges in Terminal 3. This time, I chose to…
During my two trips to Oslo I ended up booking two fairly long layovers in London. I did this to protect myself in case of missed flights or delays, but also to give myself plenty of time to visit a few lounges in the airport. See, London Heathrow offers some of the best OneWorld lounges in…

As my MLK weekend in Hong Kong came to a close it was time to head back to Hong Kong International Airport. I generally wouldn’t head to an airport 6 hours before a flight, but this trip to the airport was different. This trip to the airport was different because I had a few lounges…
After the nearly 15 hour Cathay Pacific Premium Economy flight from Chicago I had finally arrived in Hong Kong. I arrived just before 8PM local time. During my short stay in Hong Kong I remained on Chicago time so my body thought it was closer to 6AM. Since I slept for about 8 hours in…
As a Chicago based traveler I oddly enough I haven’t spent much time in Chicago O’Hare’s Terminal 5. That’s because only international flights on international carriers depart from this terminal. International flights on all US airlines and some international carriers on the other hand depart from the main concourse. Luckily, the start my HKG over…
