Review – Centurion Lounge – DFW
I’ve had the opportunity to visit the Centurion Studio in SEA, the Centurion Lounge in IAH and now the Centurion Lounge at DFW. I missed out on trying out the Centurion Lounge at SFO because the terminals at SFO are not connected airside, meaning that you have to go to the appropriate terminal that the

Review – Centurion Lounge – Houston
I have been DYING to see the Centurion Lounge in Houston since it opened. Outside of the Centurion Studio in Seattle, most of the other Centurion Lounges are in cities that I do not frequent. Luckily on my most recent trip, I got a chance (albeit a very quick chance) to experience the lounge. Location

Review – Aspire Lounge – Calgary
I recently got to visit the new International Terminal of the Calgary International Airport (YYC) and since it opened on October 31st, I’ve been dying to see what the new lounge is like. For those of you that aren’t as nerdy as I am, you won’t know that there is no Air Canada Maple Leaf

Review – Alaska Airlines Boardroom Lounge – Seattle
Seattle is home to Alaska Air and it serves as its main hub with excellent connections throughout the West Coast and Hawaii. We happened to route back through Seattle after a father-daughter trip to Disneyland. I haven’t blogged about this or other domestic flights because they are simply not noteworthy … in fact the only

Review – Centurion Studio – Seattle
As part of my Jet Blue Mileage Run, I had a 7 hour layover in the SEATAC airport in Seattle. Normally, I would have dreaded spending 7 hours in an airport but I was actually looking forward to trying out the Centurion Studio as it would be my first opportunity to use one of the

Review – South African Airways Lounge – Johannesburg
The South African Airways Lounge in Johannesburg is the flagship lounge for the airline and as such it is the grandest. Upon checking into the lounge, you are directed to the right for the Business Class Lounge, however of note, if you look left, you see that there is a First Class Lounge. This was

Review – South African Airways Lounge – Cape Town
As sad as it was to have to leave Cape Town, I was very much looking forward to flying South African Airways based on the previous trip reports that I had read. While probably not as plush as some other airlines, I would say that South African does a real good job at embracing their

Review – Turkish Airlines CIP Lounge – Istanbul
I have to admit that the thing I was looking forward to the most on this trip was a lounge … but not just any lounge, the Turkish Airlines CIP Lounge in Istanbul. The CIP stands for Commercially Important Person, the European equivalent to North America’s VIP and do they ever pull out all the stops

Review – National Bank Lounge – Montreal
On this trip, I ran into two terrible lounges. This is one of them. On the surface, this lounge is fine. The seating is comfortable, there are decent food options, there’s free booze as well as magazines and newspapers. The thing that absolutely destroys my opinion of this lounge is how busy it is. These

Review – Maple Leaf Lounge – Montreal
After a nice day exploring Montreal, we headed to Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport to catch our flight to Istanbul but first, we decided to check out some lounges. The first lounge we went to was the Maple Leaf Lounge and in my opinion, while a lot smaller, the lounge was much nicer than the
