Qantas First Class Lounge in Singapore is Fantastic!

Qantas operates several First Class lounges in different parts of the world. The one in Singapore is simple, yet elegant. Surely, it is not as extravagant as what Japan Airlines or Cathay Pacific have to offer, but, in my opinion, it beats the Qantas lounge in Sydney. Changi Airport in Singapore is known for world class service and Qantas First Class lounge definitely fits the elevated standards of the airport nicely. Note that the lounge is not open all the time, but it opens before Qantas flights. During my visit, the lounge opened at 14:00, plenty in time for my late Finnair flight to Helsinki.

Brussels Airlines, Lounge, Star Alliance

Brussels Airlines the Loft is an outstanding lounge

Many Schengen lounges in Europe are rather bad and the really good ones are only there for international flights. Brussels Airlines really surprised me positively with their nice lounge at Brussels Airport. In addition to Star Alliance airlines, Finnair uses this lounge. As always, I was flying the national airline of Finland and ended up visiting Brussels Airlines the Loft lounge that is sponsored by Lexus.

Disappointed with Qatar Airways Platinum Lounge (South) in Doha

Qatar airways is a 5-star airline, and while they operate the magnificent QSuites, they are notorious for their lack of interest in opening their lounges for oneworld Sapphire and Emerald status holders. In this review, you will learn what your lounge option is at Doha Hamad International Airport if you have oneworld Emerald status. While the lounge does offer good food, other aspects are not great.

How cool is Japan Airlines First Class lounge at Narita Airport?

Japan Airlines is easily one of my all time favorite airlines in oneworld. And after experiencing their lounge at Haneda, I was dying to find out what kind of cool stuff Japan Airlines First Class lounge was packing at Narita Airport. Narita used to be my primary point of entrance to the land of the rising sun back in the days when Finnair only flew to Narita. So of course, I already have my nostalgia filled preference to this particular airport in Tokyo. But how does this lounge fare against its counterpart at Haneda? Let’s find out!

How sweet is the Qsuite? Reviewing Qatar Business Class

The first time I flew in Qatar Airways business class a couple of years back, I was extremely underwhelmed given the 5 star rating. Their business class product was pretty much identical with Finnair on a HEL-DOH flight. This time I ended up getting a free upgrade to Qatar’s most exclusive business class, namely the Qsuite. I finally got to see what all the fuss was about. Qsuite is way better than your regular business class, I can tell you that much! But it is not a suite per se either, so let’s get to reviewing.

Cathay Pacific, Oneworld, Premium Economy Class

Cathay Pacific Premium Economy is Truly a Delight!

Cathay Pacific is one of the few 5 star airlines in the world. And it really shows! Today I was flying from Tokyo to Hong Kong and I got a free upgrade because the flight was overbooked. I was thrilled I got to fly in Cathay Pacific Premium Economy. It was awesome! Cathay Pacific is easily one of my favorite oneworld airlines together with Japan Airlines. The only downside is the careless baggage handling in Hong Kong…
