Flying Economy on American Airlines

First time flying American Airlines, economy, London to Miami on-route to Santiago. I was hoping to fly the ‘new’ American Airlines from adverts I’ve seen, but it wasn’t to be.

VIP Lounge Pisa Airport

Access to a lounge before a flight can always enhance the experience of travel, however, the VIP Lounge Pisa airport isn’t anything worth returning to, the decor dated, it reminded me of someone’s living room from sometime in the 1970s’. The seats were narrow and uncomfortable, something you wouldn’t want to spend much time on. […]

Finnair Lounge – Helsinki

The white decor, padded walls, lighting of the Finnair Lounge immediately have a wow factor about it, modern and contemporary. Though it looks the part, it does have some unusual characteristics for a business lounge. The reclining chairs facing the runway look comfortable but lack any power outlets for charging mobile devices including laptops. Instead […]
