In November 2024, I travelled to fly back on Singapore Airlines’ inaugural SQ811 service from Beijing Daxing International Airport. Before the flight, I stopped by the BCS Lounge near gate E90. The BCS Lounge is Singapore Airlines’ contracted lounge for Business class and eligible status passengers. While the BCS Lounge was not the best lounge…
Review: Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club with Etihad Airways JFK T4
During a trip to New York last year, I stopped by the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club with Etihad Airways (that name will never not be a mouthful) at JFK Terminal 4. My visit to the Chase lounge was actually just a few weeks after its opening, but it was already an extremely popular…
Review: SilverKris Lounge Manila
During my complicated travel itinerary that saw me pass through Manila twice within a week, I had the opportunity to visit the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge Manila twice in the space of week. I also was able to visit in the early morning before SQ915, and the late afternoon before SQ921. This allowed me to…
Review: SWISS Senator Lounge ‘E’ Zurich
After our flight from Milan, we decided to pop into town for a quick dinner and walk before our flight from Zurich back home to Singapore.

Before our SWISS flight to Zurich from Milan, we visited the Lufthansa Lounge in Milan Malpensa airport. While technically not a Senator lounge, it felt comparable to the Senator standard, and with a lack of crowd, it was a perfectly pleasant place to relax before our flight. It’s not an impressive by any measure, but…

Review: Thai Airways Royal Orchid Prestige Lounge Bangkok
During my recent trip trip to London on Thai Airways Business class, I opted to use the Royal Orchid Prestige Lounge preflight. It’s a lounge I’ve visited several times.

Review: Air China Business Class Lounge (No.71) Shanghai Pudong
On my recent trip to Shanghai, I flew back on Singapore Airlines A380 business class (no review since I just reviewed a HKG-SIN flight on the same product a few months back). For this flight back, I had access to, and visited the Air China Business Class Lounge. I would have had access even if…
The best business class lounge in Singapore? Review of Qatar Airways Lounge Singapore
Is the Qatar Airways lounge truly the best business class lounge in Singapore? It might well be, heck it may even be the best lounge in Singapore Changi Airport. I had the chance to stop by the Qatar Airways when flying Japan Airlines business class – they’re both members of Oneworld – and it was…
