Since 1975, Tegel has been the main Airport of West Berlin, and later most of Berlin. Unfortunately, the main Terminal is not equipped to handle modern air transportation. Not having a central hall area, all Baggage Claim, Passport Control and Security is primarily performed at the gates. Making little room for the passengers. It is a nice Airport for it’s … Read More
I will admit, when I first heard of Clear, the Biometric ID Service, I was a bit skeptical. I have TSA Pre, I have Global Entry, couldn’t figure out why I would want to pony up $179.00 to join. And for me, the service wasn’t even at LAX, so “when would I be able to use it?” was another question. … Read More
My first time to DEN Denver International Airport, and I must say a rather nice and efficient. Not the most glamorous in feel, but easy to navigate and plenty of space. Mostly the Hub for United and several of the LCC carriers. Layout is very similar to ATL / Hartsfield–Jackson, and has plenty of room to grow out into the … Read More
Back to HKG for a few hours. The flight to Frankfurt is at midnight and I have a few hours to get to know this airport and the lounges. Cathay Pacific has 5 lounges in Terminal 1, two of which are First Class, so there are plenty of choices. And first up is The Wing, just turn left after Security … Read More
Flying Singapore in their Suites or First is generally an excellent experience. Check in at Changi at Terminal 3 has a private entrance (just prior to the main arrivals area at Terminal 3, but is clearly marked). From there, your handlers take care of everything, and you pass through a Private Screening and Passport Control dedicated to First Class passengers. … Read More
Since I was staying in The Private Room, and had the time… thought best to explore the entire SilverKris Lounge.. SilverKris Lounge in Terminal 3 is for both Business Class and First Class passengers. After you are up the escalator it is First to the right and Business more to the left. The Business Lounge has all the amenities of … Read More
The Lufthansa First Class Terminal (FCT) is one of, if not the Best First Class Lounge in the world. Built in 2004, it elevated the experience of traveling for HON Circle & First Class passengers leaving from Lufthansa’s main hub, FRA Frankfurt. A complete, separate terminal building, you are greeted at the entrance, hand over your luggage and Passport to … Read More
Report by Madame Now The newish (6 months old) Delta One Lounge at Seattle Tacoma International Airport in the main terminal is airy and has beautiful light on a sunny day. The colors are a bit drab in the lounge, I’m sure they will wear well but in the winter months could make one feel as if one were in … Read More
This was our kick-off lounge for the ‘Round The World Trip, so I was quite hopeful it would be as great a Lounge as I had read elsewhere. But sadly, I was overall rather disappointed with the Qantas First Class Lounge. One of the main problems with most of the Tom Bradley Lounges is no view of the tarmac, so … Read More
Since I was in Tom Bradley and already had access to the Qantas First Lounge, thought a good idea to check out the Business Class Lounge… I am now a Travel Writer, so it is kinda my job to do these things, and I wasn’t all that impressed with the One World Qantas First Class Lounge and wanted to explore … Read More
Update 2017: Sadly, this lounge (and airline) are no longer with us. With Delta moving into Terminal 3, This is now a Delta Sky Club, and with luck will get a major overhaul in the next few years. A pleasant lounge with a great view of the runways. No shower, but other than that has all the amenities, and you … Read More
I must admit that I am quite happy (a bit giddy, maybe) to be going back to Hong Kong. The last time was when Kai Tak was still open (closed in 1998) and standing on the tarmac waiting for a bus to take you to the terminal while a 747 was banking overhead and landing… crazy cool, or frightening for … Read More
