Lounge Review: American Airlines First Class Lounge London Heathrow

Earlier this year I finally had the chance to fly in Economy Class on American’s 787-8 from London back to Chicago. This flight was special to me for two very important reasons. First, it would be the first time I’ve ever flown long-haul in economy on American’s 787. Perviously I’ve always flown British Airways back…
Review: British Airways Business Class A380 Chicago To London

Earlier this year British Airways announced that the airline would be flying the massive Airbus A380 between Chicago and London. This aircraft shift is part of a summer seasonal service which has since ended. Thankfully, the A380 service is expected to return in April 2019. While British Airways was flying the A380 to Chicago I…
Review: Finnair Business Class A330 Helsinki To Chicago

Earlier this year I found an incredible transatlantic business class fare with OneWorld carriers. The fare offered round trip flights from Munich to US gateways for just $1,500 USD. The best part of that fare is that it was valid on several OneWorld partner airlines. This meant that I could fly either American, British Airways,…
Review: Finnair Economy Class A330 Helsinki To New York (JFK)

To get home from my weekend trip to Stockholm I decided to book an economy class flight from Helsinki to New York (JFK). I selected this flight primarily because it was quite inexpensive, but also because it gave me a chance to finally fly with Finnair; a OneWorld partner. Before boarding my flight to New…
Lounge Review: Finnair Premium Lounge Non-Schengen Area Helsinki

Finnair currently has two lounges in Helsinki-Vantaa Airport Terminal 2. The first is located near Gate 22 in the Schengen Area of the airport. All eligible Finnair passengers have access to this lounge most will pass this lounge on their way to the Non-Schengen area of the airport. Thankfully, because I was flying to New…
Lounge Review: Finnair Lounge Schengen Area Helsinki Airport

After a quick stop in Stockholm I was on my way back to the United States. To get home I decided to fly Finnair from Stockholm to Helsinki and onwards to New York (JFK). I ended up booking an itinerary with a longer than desired (for most) layover in Helsinki. Since I had some time…
Lounge Review: The Qantas Lounge London Heathrow

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…
Introduction: OneWorld Twice To Oslo

In 2017 I qualified for American Airlines AAdvantage Executive Platinum for the first time in my life. I’ve come close in years past, but was never able to cross the finish line. In fact, the only reason I qualified last year is thanks to an insane Qatar Airways mileage run in which I covered 61,000…
Lounge Review: American Airlines Flagship Lounge LAX

Before heading back to Chicago after my MLK weekend in Hong Kong I had to find a way to pass a few hours during my LAX layover. Luckily because I maintain OneWorld Emerald elite status and was connecting from an international flight that wouldn’t be that hard to do. During my layover I had a wide…
Lounge Review: Qantas First Class Lounge Los Angeles International

To conclude my HKG over MLK weekend I specifically booked a flight through Los Angeles to review one or two lounges in the airport. I scheduled a 3 hour layover to give myself plenty of time to fully enjoy each lounge. My Cathay Pacific flight landed in Los Angeles at about 10:30AM. The flight took…
