Air France Salon Affaires, Terminal 2E

Air France has a lot of lounges in CDG airport as they operate out of many terminals, but the one that we used, the Salon Affaires, was located in Terminal 2E Traveling as a Skyteam Elite member (Platinum Skymiles) member on an international ticket allows us to use the Air France lounge, no matter the class of service we’re flying in. With that in mind, we passed the security checks and headed down the elevator to the lounge one floor...

Etihad Arrivals Lounge, Abu Dhabi

After a long flight into Abu Dhabi, one of the best things you can have is a visit to the Etihad Arrivals Lounge to clean up, relax, and have a quick nibble or drink before departing. As we know that we would have a bit of a wait for our car and for our hotel, we thought we’d have a quick stop in and see what they had to offer. After collecting your bags and before heading to Customs, you’ll come across the Etihad Premium Arrivals...

Copa Lounge, Panama City

There are two Priority Pass lounges in the Tocumen airport in Panama City. The first is landside (pre security) and the Copa lounge right in front of gate 21. Conveniently the gate for our American flight was out of gate 20. We entered the club and were greeted by a friendly (for being 545am) attendant who cheerfully took our Priority Pass card, scanned it, and let us in. The club was pretty empty being that it was so early, so it...

Quick Lounge Visit, Galleries Lounge, London Heathrow

We only had about a 90 minute layover total, so we had to make a quick connection in Heathrow. If you’ve ever visited Heathrow, you’ll know that “quick” and “connection” aren’t two words you usually hear about Heathrow. The Galleries Lounge in the B section of Terminal 5 is located right near the B42 gate by going up an escalator. It’s open, like most oneworld lounges, to business and first passengers, and Sapphire/Emerald one world...

Newest SeaTac Priority Pass Lounge

One of the great benefits of the myriad of credit cards out there (Chase Sapphire Reserve, Citi Prestige, etc) is that they all come with a Priority Pass membership.  Priority Pass has partnerships with over 900 lounges all over the world, and they seem to be adding more every day. We’re lucky in Seattle that we have tons of airport lounges to choose from, such as the United lounge, and Amex Centurion Lounge, the Delta Sky...

A trip through time: Santiago’s Admirals Club

Have you ever felt like you’ve just been transported back in time to the 80’s?  Reagan was president, you were jamming in the park with your walkman to Jessie’s Girl, Hungry like the Wolf, or You Spin Me Round, AND if you were traveling to Santiago de Chile, you were enjoying the Admiral’s Club. At least that what it felt like.  I don’t think this club has been updated since then… We found...

The Club at ATL, the “other” ATL lounge

For those of you out there with a Priority Pass membership, you’ll be happy to know that when you’re traveling through Atlanta, you have an option.  Yes, 1 option.  And it’s kinda far away.  BUT.  It is staffed by the most friendly people in Atlanta and they have a full, free, open, heavy pour bar. All the way down in Concourse F, in a land far, far away from all the other concourses, lies the sole Priority Pass...
