On my return flight from Hong Kong (HKG) to Los Angeles (LAX), Cathay Pacific provided me with a seat in Business Class. That was mighty kind of you, Cathay, and the seat was much appreciated. While other blogs may cover the seats (fully lie-flat!) or the entertainment options (plenty of great movies!), we here 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…
I just returned from my once-in-a-lifetime trip to Hong Kong where I devoured so much top quality food that the scale in my room at the InterContinental taught me the Cantonese word for “fat.” It was all worth it, though. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my posts from the trip so far (click each word…

As soon as you get through security, there’s a good chance that you’re jonesing for that joe, so there are coffee shops ready and waiting to deliver your fix. That usually means Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts…

I get a lot of people asking me about the best places to eat at airports around the world. One of those people is the lovely Jennifer Heigl, a Portland-based writer who runs The Daily Blender, a blog devoted to food, drinks, and the culture there of. She’s been running a travel series on her…
In terms of food magazines, Saveur is one of the top names in the business. As a subscriber, I get the latest issue as soon as they ship and I was elated to see that March’s “Five To Try” segment was about “Luscious Layovers.” I would have preferred if they consulted Fly&Dine for some help,…

It took more than thirty years after the very first LongHorn Steakhouse opened in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood in 1981, but Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) finally has an outpost of the chain for travelers desperate to get some charred beef in before a flight. Just opened on February 2nd, the airport version of LongHorn resides…
American Airlines debuted their brand new three-class transcontinental bird this week and the new Airbus A321T has a whole host of features that will make flying from LAX to JFK (or vice versa) a lot more pleasant. I’ll let the other guys handle the seating and entertainment upgrades because all I care about is the…
