After clearing customs in Newark, I made my way to the United Club in Newark’s C gates. I’ve been to this one a few times now. It’s in a hexagon shape, around the food court, which makes the lounge feel open and airy. However, it doesn’t have a great bathroom situation, and seating can beContinue reading “Quick bonus post: EWR-RIC!”

Premium Economy across the Atlantic on United
Hi everyone! I got a new job back in May, and now I work in MedTech. As such, travel has been sparse for a while. In September, I had to take a short trip home to see my parents in Richmond. In October, I’m taking a trip to the US for a vacation and aContinue reading “Premium Economy across the Atlantic on United”
Oneworld transatlantic JV first class number 2!
Upon landing in JFK, I made my way to the Admiral’s Club, mostly out of habit. I’ve been to the JFK lounge a couple times before (both outbound and connecting) in the last year, and this was the first time that the dining terrace was actually open. However, the club was still only offering itsContinue reading “Oneworld transatlantic JV first class number 2!”
The one true domestic first class in the US: American Airlines’ Flagship First service from LAX to JFK
At the end of my trip to the US in April, I needed to get from Los Angeles to London. The disastrous passport control queues at London’s Heathrow Airport have been making headlines for the last couple months, but Krister had had a relatively quick experience (around 30 minutes) after his flight from New YorkContinue reading “The one true domestic first class in the US: American Airlines’ Flagship First service from LAX to JFK”
British Airways 787-9 First Class (2021 edition)
It’s been a few months since the last post because the UK has been on lockdown, and I have been staying and working at home. I’m coming up to the end of my research contract in Liverpool, and so we’ve moved down south to Bristol for a (long-term) change of scenery. My parents needed meContinue reading “British Airways 787-9 First Class (2021 edition)”
(Surprise trip) back to Finland… in two flights
I hadn’t expected to be writing another post so soon after my trip to the US. However, life happens, and Krister and I needed to go to Finland for the holiday season. When we went to book the trip, there were a couple of options, but all were rather expensive. Initially, the flights on SaturdayContinue reading “(Surprise trip) back to Finland… in two flights”
Guest post: to Denver!
This post is actually a guest review from one of my best friends, Valerie Pietrasz. During my trip to the US, I ended up on three of the four biggest US carriers, so with this flight, I can now present the final one: Southwest. She took a Southwest Airlines flight from SFO to DEN (WN3802)Continue reading “Guest post: to Denver!”
An Autumn Escape (part 9: the end/back to work)
Krister and I spent 16 days together in Finland. A large portion of it was spent with both of us working remotely. We took advantage of Helsinki Airport’s new arrivals testing service. Given how little Krister and I do that involves large groups of people (except flying, but the risk there is quite low), weContinue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 9: the end/back to work)”
An Autumn Escape (part 8: back to Europe)
After my overnight stay in New York (and watching the election), I got an Uber to New York’s JFK airport to finish up my trip, with two flights from JFK to London Heathrow to Helsinki. This is the second half of my initial ticket from Stockholm to San Francisco, so it was booked in businessContinue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 8: back to Europe)”
An Autumn Escape (part 7: positioning flight to NYC)
When I had originally planned this trip, I had anticipated either going to Boston before returning to the UK or to just buy a separate, one-way ticket to JFK airport from Richmond. The Boston part ended up not happening, and American Airlines had cancelled its RIC-JFK service (which never has been a very big hitContinue reading “An Autumn Escape (part 7: positioning flight to NYC)”
