One of the most successful Fly&Dine stories of all time was about a Chinese man who was able to game the system at his local airport to eat in the first class lounge for free by continually extending the outbound date on his refundable first class ticket. Well, it looks like somebody else tried to…
One of the best new developments of the past year in the Airport Lounge Game has been the introduction of American Express Centurion Lounges (now open at LAS and DFW). While I haven’t been to one yet, some of the other BoardingArea bloggers seem to really love them based on all of their posts: Here’s…
Another week of flying and dining is coming to a close and that means it’s time to recap the week that was. This week, we learned about… Bill Cosby’s Favorite BBQ Spots in America I admonished you to… Vote Now For @PassengerChoice or Forever Hold Your Peace [sponsored] Revealed some exciting new menus… JetBlue Unveils…
In perhaps the greatest new development of the already great Tom Bradley International Terminal makeover at LAX, oneworld (in this case Qantas, Cathay Pacific, and British Airways) has opened their brand new business class lounge at LAX and it’s a stunner. The space itself is great, but the food… ah, the food. Last time we…
I got my brand new Citi Executive AAdvantage World Elite MasterCard for two reasons: 100,000 bonus AAdvantage miles and complimentary access to the Admirals Club. As an American Platinum flyer who uses LAX as my home base, that meant I was finally going to get to enjoy the mythical club that overlooks Terminal 4 at…
When it comes to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Cathay Pacific pretty much rules the roost. How else to explain the fact that they operate five different lounges at HKG? FIVE! That’s a tremendous amount and during my recent trip back from HKG -> LAX, I had just enough time to stop in at two…
If you’re flying through Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX), I’ve got some good news for you: The Club at PHX, a new pay-as-you-go lounge just opened its doors on April 9th. Operated by Airport Lounge Development, this new space is the only shared-use lounge at PHX, which means you don’t have to be a member…
“Imagine this as your living room while you’re here.†That’s the direction I was given when I first laid eyes on the Club InterContinental overlooking Victoria Harbour (yes, I’m spelling it the British way. When in Rome Hong Kong…). After a few visits, I started getting angry that my actual living room wasn’t nearly as…
Get ready for a TON of coverage about my trip to Hong Kong! One of the perks of being a guest of Cathay Pacific is that despite the fact that I was flying Premium Economy (more on that later), I was invited to experience the oneworld First Class Lounge at LAX. When I checked in,…
This week marks the fourth month that Fly&Dine has been flying and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am that the site is doing so well. When I launched it, I thought that I would maybe convince a hundred people a day to check out what I was posting. Now, after…
Ah, the First Class Lounge; that shangri-la of tiny sandwiches, premium liquor, and showers that I’m not even that afraid to use. If I had access, I’d go every day. It would be my country club, my sanctuary, my really upscale Starbucks. The problem is, lounge access costs major dollars in the form of memberships…
The Beauty of Turning Four Do you remember turning four? I don’t. I do, however, know that I had a birthday party at Pizza Hut and the photos my mom has are proof that I was *so excited*. I’m equally excited that Your Oyster has now turned four. Not four years old, mind you, but four…

Are you a well-seasoned traveler? Do you give yourself plenty of time to get to your gate after you clear security so you won’t miss your flight? If so, Brussels Airport has a message for you: we will defeat you by springing surprise passport checks on you just before you reach your gate. Also, they…
