Another great Design Hotels property. A beautifully refurbished space, they kept a lot of the old and added just the right amount of modern. Funky, chic and class, that whole old and new mixture. A fun staff. A comfortable, attractive room and a great looking bathroom… all you need for … Read More
Virgin Atlantic VS007 – LHR Heathrow ✈ LAX Los Angeles Upper Class
Flying Virgin Atlantic is always a pleasure, and I’ve flown this route in the 747-400, A340 and now finally the Dreamliner. So I was quite happy to try out the updated Virgin Pods.

I will admit I love flying Lufthansa, just about any class. And I have flown this route a few times in all classes except Business. This route used to be flown on the 747-400 but is currently serviced by the A380. JANUARY 2017 LAX – FRA Upper Deck: 97G Economy … Read More
CSX Changsha Huangha – VIP Lounge
This is one of the saddest lounges I have ever been to. The gentleman at the front desk was quite nice, but beyond that, the only kind thing to say is that it was clean. After about 15 minutes had to leave, and spent the time exploring the terminal, which … Read More

Alaska Airlines Lounge – LAX Los Angeles – Terminal 6
A good solid lounge in T6, and feels a bit like a Pacific Northwest living room… the interior design is a bit home brewed. But for snacks and a drinks it makes a good place to park for 45 minutes before a flight. A more in depth Lounge Report will … Read More
LAX – Tom Bradley KAL Lounge
Been here so many times, basically the fall back lounge when flying Coach. Though not a fabulous lounge, I love the balcony area overlooking the Terminal Shopping area. Not at all claustrophobic, very airy and open for a lounge that has no view of the runways. Has all the basics … Read More
