It’s been a while since I’ve been to a proper hotel lounge. I don’t know about you, but I love hotel lounges. Who needs a cash minibar when you have a well-appointed room with a free real bar? As much as I love hanging out in hotel rooms, I love having the option to go…
I’ll make this short and sweet since I’m attending a fantastic wedding this weekend in Portland, ME. I posted one of the most popular stories in Fly&Dine history on Friday and if you missed it, this is your chance to catch up. In fact, catch up on all of last week’s stories right now so…
If you’re flying British Airways to/from Heathrow and you don’t have a premium cabin ticket or elite status, you’re going to be sitting at the gate dreaming of free tea and crumpets. That all changed this summer when independent lounge operators Airport Lounge Development (of The Club fame) and Swissport joined forces and opened Aspire,…
While I’ve written about the independent airport lounges known simply as “The Club” before, I’ve never actually visited one until last week when they let me in to poke around The Club at PHX. For those unfamiliar, The Club lounges are operated by Airport Lounge Development and open to all flyers regardless of airline or…
There’s a new club at LAX and with Virgin Atlantic at the helm, you know it’s not going to be the same-old, same-old. Yesterday marked the grand opening of Virgin Atlantic’s newest Clubhouse. Situated inside Terminal 2 at LAX, the 4,000 sq.ft. space should prove to be plenty hospitable to Virgin Atlantic passengers thanks to…
You may be partial to the Admirals Club or the United Club, but if you’re not affiliated with an airline-specific lounge, this news is for you. The Club, that independent open-to-all shared-use lounge, has expanded yet again and now they’re operating in Seattle’s SEA-TAC airport. There will actually be two The Club lounges at SEA-TAC,…
UPDATE: Some readers have pointed out that American is also in the process of upgrading their lounge food offerings to include more real food. The war is happening, people! Soon we’ll be getting cooked-to-order steaks and Baked Alaska before our flights. This is just the beginning! United has fired the first salvo in the upcoming…
It’s Sunday. Take a deep breath. Now go back to sleep. Zzzzzz. Zzzzzz. Zzzzzz. Wake up. It’s mid-afternoon. How’d you sleep so long? Here’s a cup of coffee. Here’s a recap of Fly&Dine this week. You’re all set. American Unveils New $2 BILLION Campaign JetBlue’s Mint Menus for December Airport Lounge Opening Alert: Cathay Pacific…
I hope you’re ready for some noodles. Yesterday marked the opening of Cathay Pacific’s newest lounge, the first operated by a non-Japanese carrier at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport (HND). The Hong Kong-based airline is located on Level 6 near Gate 114 with room for almost 200 people in the nearly 11,000 sq. ft. space. They’re going…
The Age of the Democratized Lounge is upon us. While the legacy carriers and major airline alliances still dominate the airport lounge world, newer open-to-all lounges are spreading everywhere. Instead of buying a business/first class ticket or holding status that allows for lounge entry, this new class of lounges is available to anyone who wants…
If you’ve arrived here looking for a write-up of free massages or in-lounge accountants doing your taxes for free or something, you’re about to be sorely disappointed. I was just in Madrid — oh, hey TONS OF MADRID STORIES — and found a new little friend in Iberia’s SaliDali Lounge at MAD. Judging by the…
A Happy Sunday to you all! I’m currently writing this from a bed at Sandals (Regency La Toc) in St. Lucia and, to be quite honest, it’s a much better bed than where I’m used to writing these posts. Another week has come to a close and that means it’s time to recap the week…
I’ve been an Adam Carolla fan since his days as co-host of the syndicated radio show Love Line (with Dr. Drew). He may be crass and over-the-top in some of his opinions, but he’s always been a funny voice of reason and while he’s come a long way since his days of making fun of…
This has been, without question, the most successful week in Fly&Dine history. More people visited Fly&Dine than ever before and I am grateful for that. What did they come to read? Check out the stories that grabbed everyone’s attention this week: First, we addressed the question of gratuity while you travel in… Tipping at Hotels…
