It’s been a while since I finished writing this trip report, but I forgot to write a conclusion until now. With this conclusion I wanted to go through each step of the trip and explain how I felt throughout it. Usually international weekend mileage runs take their toll on my body, but this was the…
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…
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…
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…

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…
Greetings from the United Polaris Lounge in Chicago O’Hare! I want to start out by letting you know that I’m doing things a bit differently this weekend. In the past I would take an entire trip, sit on everything for a few days (weeks), and eventually post my trip report. However, this weekend is different. This…
