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. When we got back to the airport, we headed straight for the Senator Lounge in the non-Schengen “E” pier, where our flight was departing from. The SWISS Senator “E”…
Review: Lufthansa Lounge Milan Malpensa
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: SWISS Alpine Lounge Zurich Airport (ZRH)
While travelling between London and Venice on my recent European trip, I opted to fly SWISS and transit through Zurich. As I mentioned in my review of the Lufthansa Senator Lounge London Heathrow, I wanted to stay within the Star Alliance network so I could use my Star Gold benefits. SWISS was the cheapest of…
Review: Lufthansa Senator Lounge London Heathrow
On my recent Europe trip, I flew from London to Venice on Swiss via Zurich. As Star Alliance Gold through KrisFlyer, I wanted to stay with the Star Alliance network for my “internal” travel within Europe. On my departure from London Heathrow, I was able to visit the Lufthansa lounge in London Heathrow Terminal 2.…
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. With a plethora of Star Alliance lounges in BKK – with Thai alone having 3 currently open in their home base – eligible Star Alliance flyers…
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…
Review: ANA Lounge Narita No.2 Satellite
After my United Polaris flight from LAX, I had a few hours to kill in transit at Tokyo Narita before my connecting flight onwards home to Singapore. While I was not flying in a premium cabin for my Singapore Airlines flight, I had access to the ANA lounges courtesy of my KrisFlyer Elite Gold status.…
Review: United Polaris Lounge LAX
When United first introduced its long haul Polaris business class in 2016, and together with it the Polaris lounge, it was a product I wanted to check out. Nice as it looked, it was still United after all, so Polaris wasn’t that high on my agenda. The opportunity finally presented itself on this trip to…
Review: New Singapore Airlines The Private Room, Changi Airport T3
The new The Private Room finally brings the SIA ground experience on par with the best globally, and befitting of the onboard experience. After a Covid-induced delay, Singapore Airlines finally opened new The Private Room (TPR) and First Class lounges at the end of May 2022. When the opening was announced, I figured I should…
