It’s finally time to finish up the trip to India! I’ve been in the process of moving locally for the last month and so have been bogged down by that, so these have been coming out a bit more slowly than I would’ve liked, but here we are: British Airways First Class from London toContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India!

2025’s big trip: India! Part 2: LHR-DUB
Upon arriving in London and clearing security, I made my way directly to the Galleries First Lounge, which has been featured on this blog numerous times before and will likely continue being featured on this blog for a while because it is the Oneworld Emerald lounge for British Airways at Heathrow. This will be myContinue reading “2025’s big trip: India! Part 2: LHR-DUB”
Backtracking through New York. This time on American!
On the way back from DC, I was once again heading through NYC. This time, however, I was flying American Airlines, which can only mean one thing on this blog. Yep, it’s another Flagship First Transcontinental review! This review is split into two parts because I’ll use this first part as my review of theContinue reading “Backtracking through New York. This time on American!”
DeltaOne Transcontinental Part 2: DeltaOne Lounge (JFK-DCA)
After arriving at JFK off my DeltaOne flight, I made a beeline for the DeltaOne lounge. For many years, Delta only offered SkyClubs as its lounge option, even for international Business Class. However, this changed in 2024 with the opening of the first DeltaOne lounge at JFK. Two more quickly followed in Boston and LosContinue reading “DeltaOne Transcontinental Part 2: DeltaOne Lounge (JFK-DCA)”
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: 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!”
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 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”
Thanksgiving 2023 EuroTrip: Part 8-1 London Heathrow’s Terminal 5 Galleries First Lounge
My primary airline status is Gold Status through British Airways. This status provides me with Oneworld Emerald status when flying on any Oneworld airline. The two big perks of Oneworld Emerald status are access to First Class check-ins and First Class lounges. These are incremental perks over the lower Oneworld Sapphire perks that include accessContinue reading “Thanksgiving 2023 EuroTrip: Part 8-1 London Heathrow’s Terminal 5 Galleries First Lounge”
Thanksgiving 2023 EuroTrip: Part 5-1 (Etihad First Class Part 1: the ground)
After the short, uneventful flight from Frankfurt to London, Scott and I took a connection bus from Terminal 2 to Terminal 4. There was a bus already waiting when we arrived at the bus stop, which was awesome. The ride was not short over to T4 (which is on the other side of Heathrow fromContinue reading “Thanksgiving 2023 EuroTrip: Part 5-1 (Etihad First Class Part 1: the ground)”
