Passengers departing Calgary International Airport (YYC) and heading to the United States will clear U.S. immigration before departing Canada. Thankfully, passengers who end up in this special Transborder Departures part of the Calgary airport still have a lounge that they can visit for the flight, and it’s a pretty good one at that. The Aspire […]
Following my trip to Portugal, I began to make my way home from Europe on a United Airlines award ticket, but I would be flying in business class on Air Canada from Frankfurt to Calgary on a Boeing 777-200LR. The plane (or at least the interior) was brand new. So much so that it actually […]
My trip back to San Francisco from Portugal was a meandering journey over a few days. After a couple of days layover in Frankfurt, I would be next heading to Calgary, Canada on an Air Canada flight. Since I was flying on a business class award ticket from Frankfurt to Calgary, I had access to […]
The Blue Lounge Lisbon Airport is the smaller of the two Priority Pass lounges at the airport by a long shot. It’s in a much quieter area of Lisbon Airport, near Gates 7-13. Proximity to those gates is one of the only reasons why you should go to the Blue Lounge Lisbon if you have […]
The ANA Lounge is the primary lounge at Lisbon airport. Run by Aeropuertos de Portugal, it serves as the lounge for many airlines, along with Priority Pass, which is how I visited. Here are my thoughts on the ANA Lounge Lisbon Airport. ANA Lounge Lisbon Airport The lounge is easy spot. Just past security, you […]
Lounge options in Pittsburgh have been lacking in the past, but that has all changed with the new The Club at Pittsburgh International Airport. Back in September, I reviewed the temporary location that The Club had opened while the new permanent lounge was under construction. While that lounge wasn’t perfect, I was intrigued to see […]
On my way to Portugal, I had yet another connection, this time in Geneva, Switzerland. I had a little over an hour in the airport. There are three Priority Pass lounges right near each other in the Geneva Airport, so I decided to make a speed run of all three. They are located upstairs from […]

Frankfurt Airport has three Priority Pass lounges. Two are airside in Terminal 2. The only one that all passengers are able to access is the LuxxLounge Frankfurt, which is located landside in Terminal 1. Reminder: The LuxxLounge Frankfurt is located LANDSIDE near Concourses B & C of Terminal 1. I missed this key part of […]
After my Lufthansa flight from Denver to Frankfurt, I had plenty of time before my next flight. Since I was flying in business class, I had access to the Lufthansa Welcome Lounge. Unlike some airlines, Lufthansa promoted the existence of their Welcome Lounge prominently inside the business class menus for the flight. Despite that, it […]
Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to fly in the “bubble” of the Boeing 747. It’s the most iconic plane ever built; a majestic feat of engineering. Yes, the 747 is not the newest or the best plane, but it will always hold an important place in aviation history. Thanks to […]
After enjoying my layover in Tokyo, I headed back to Tokyo Haneda for my flight to San Francisco. I was flying on Japan Airlines in First Class on an American Airlines award ticket. Thanks to being in first class, I had access to the JAL First Class Lounge Tokyo Haneda. I checked in to my […]
My trip to Portugal began with a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Denver. Thanks to being on a business class award ticket, I was taking a bit of a circuitous route to Porto, flying from SFO to Denver to Frankfurt to Geneva to Porto. This first leg was originally supposed to be in […]
After visiting every lounge I could in Terminal 3 at London Heathrow (Cathay Pacific, British Airways, American, and No. 1 Traveler), it was finally time to board my flight back home. Miraculously, I’d managed to book a saver level business class award ticket on American Airlines from London to LAX. This is American’s longest business […]
