After returning from the East Coast, I didn’t even make it two weeks before it was time to fly again. This trip was just a short weekend trip to Los Angeles. I booked it the night before the flight, so as soon as I paid for the ticket, it was time to check in. TheContinue reading “San Francisco to LA, two ways on Alaska Airlines”

Around the world part 5A: Tokyo Haneda First Class Lounge
Upon arrival at Tokyo Haneda, I followed the signs for connecting flights. I was flying on two separate tickets, but since I was able to check my bags through to Los Angeles, I didn’t need to leave the secured area. In addition, I already had my onward flight’s boarding pass, so there was no reasonContinue reading “Around the world part 5A: Tokyo Haneda First Class Lounge”
Guest post from another Michael: a long weekend trip to Iceland (from London)
We have a guest post today from my friend, Michael! He just took a couple of fun flights around Europe and to Australia and has graciously supplied some pictures for the blog. The first of these trips was a weekend trip to Iceland. He flew British Airways Club Europe both ways. He has supplied picturesContinue reading “Guest post from another Michael: a long weekend trip to Iceland (from London)”
Back-to-back(ish) SFO-LAX-SFO flight experience comparison
Unlike a lot of people, I tend not to travel as much during the summer. Partially that’s because I’m busier in my non-airplane life over the summer and partially that’s because I prefer to travel during off-season when the flights are both cheaper and less busy. The means for the next post, we’re jumping fromContinue reading “Back-to-back(ish) SFO-LAX-SFO flight experience comparison”
Guest post: The Club MDW!
I’ve got a fun guest post for everyone today. My friend Valerie was traveling on Southwest transcontinentally and had a layover at Chicago’s Midway airport. This club is of note because it’s the first ever to be opened at MDW airport! “The Club” is a brand of airport lounges that you can find around theContinue reading “Guest post: The Club MDW!”
June EuroTrip Part 4A: London to New York (British Airways Club Lounge B gates)
For the second to last part of my trip to summer trip to Europe, I needed to get to New York to go to a wedding. The wedding was in Upstate New York, so it made sense to me to fly to New York City and coordinate with other people coming from San Francisco. ThatContinue reading “June EuroTrip Part 4A: London to New York (British Airways Club Lounge B gates)”
April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 3: Budapest back to Helsinki
Switching back to my April Europe trip, we have another intra-European Business Class flight on Finnair! Finnair’s strongest offerings are, like most airlines, from their main hub. Budapest is not a particularly large airport, but it does offer multiple lounges. The Skycourt lounge was the default lounge for Finnair, but there was also the PlazaContinue reading “April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 3: Budapest back to Helsinki”
The Chase Sapphire Lounge: Boston!
After my great LAX-BOS flight in Flagship First, I decided to do it again in reverse! Boston does not have any special American Airlines lounges, so instead I visited the Chase Sapphire Lounge. The lounge is located between terminals B and C, and American uses terminal B, so that’s convenient! Except that it’s a solidContinue reading “The Chase Sapphire Lounge: Boston!”
April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 2: Helsinki to Budapest
Upon arrival into Helsinki, I proceeded directly to Finnair’s non-Schengen Platinum Wing lounge. This was my first visit to the lounge since June of 2023, when I flew London to Berlin via Helsinki. The non-Schengen Finnair lounge is located very centrally, and I was inside the lounge within a couple minutes of deplaning. This loungeContinue reading “April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 2: Helsinki to Budapest”
April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 0: Austin Airport
I’m doing these posts a bit out of order to keep the content varied so that I don’t post too many American Airlines flights back-to-back. I took a trip in April that somewhat spiraled out of control because more and more flights kept getting tacked onto it. The fun part of the trip (and theContinue reading “April Europe Weekend/Review Trip! Part 0: Austin Airport”
