Hands down the best part of flying Lion Air from Jakarta is the Priority Pass sponsored access of the BlueSky Executive Lounge at Terminal 1C. The lounge has a dedicated security – good food and superb third gen coffee. Plus it isn’t crowded.
Hong Kong Airlines has been a thorn in Cathay Pacific’s lucrative ‘near monopoly’ of Hong Kong to Asia and Hong Kong to US flights. The corporate owner HNA (which also owns Hainan Airlines and HK Express among many others) has been investing heavily to modernize Hong Kong Airlines from an airline targeting vacationers to non-leisure […]
– Air Italy is more and more starting to look like a Qatar Airways sponsored vehicle for EU to US traffic as the airline drops their Asia routes and expends to more US destinations – Air France is moving away from the excellent Business Class seats they are installing on many wide-body planes right now […]
Iberia has been upgrading their New York flights to a twice daily A350 with direct service to Madrid. When booking with Iberia Avios these flights used to price out under 35,000 Avios and $130 in taxes and fees. A wonderful deal when traveling from the US East Coast to Europe. Iberia uses Terminal 7 at […]

The All Seasons Jakarta Thamrin is located right next to the busy Stasiun Sudirman train station. There is a major MRT construction right […]
– Singapore Airlines Krisflyer has fiddled with award availability for their own Krisflyer program Several routes show good (but not every day) availability in First and Business Class. If you have miles there (or in Ultimate Rewards, ThankYou Points, American Express you should take a look – your route may just be available). – Hilton […]
AirAsia has been changing the way Southeast Asia and Australia are connected for many years now. The 10-hour journey can be bought for under $200 one-way – a price most legacy airlines can’t match. I found a fare for $119 for my dates excluding bags and food. I got excited and booked the non-refundable, one-way […]
– Delta is starting service to Lagos (City Guide) from New York (they already served Dakar (City Guide) and Accra (City Guide) from New York) – Qatar now lets you prebook your meals – not the best deal ever but 18,000 Avios for $187 isn’t horrible
